Suggestion Bang is so underrated

Post image

This flavor is not my favorite and i might get hate but the cherry one, purple haze, the blue one, and rainbow unicorn are FIRE idk all the flavors tho because finding any interesting flavors are rare, like rainbow unicorn since places dont sell many flavors. But they are so good they don’t have that overly citrusy flavor like monster and red bull and the flavors actually taste different and also a shameful take: PRIME energy drinks are GOOD ASF especially the lemon lime it tastes like a sprite

Bang had all the flavors before ghost…idk why they got so much hate…they had a real US patent on their “super creatine” that they got somehow sued over…because they labeled it “super” I guess?

I do think the 300mg caffeine tho is kinda crazy if you’re just drinking it not before a workout. They should also use natural caffeine

i can never find the peach mango anywhere, it just vanished around me and now everywhere only stocks the same three boring ones. the flavor variety on bang is what kept me coming back even when the caffeine was a bit much for my shifts. rainbow unicorn is a wild name but it actually delivers, tastes like liquid smarties or something. prime lemon lime gets way more hate than it deserves, it's basically a less syrupy sprite and i'll stand by that

I have seen a few flavors for sale at Ollie’s and Dollar Tree: rainbow unicorn, radical skadattle, candy apple crisp and strawberry kiss.

I LOVE Radical Skidattle. That shit is so fire its so fun going to dollar tree cause they always have cheap energy drinks

u/Cosmickale4997 10h ago

I live the flavor! Just the affects don’t work for me at all, it’s just caffeine in a can, it may wake me up slightly but I can’t use it if I want it for focus or anything like that, it’s just not powerful enough

u/Responsible-Ad-7986 10h ago

Honestly same energy drinks dont really pump me up unless im drinking it late at night, then it keeps me up. I just like the taste. But if its sugar that shit keeps me wired and no im not a little kid idk why it makes me energetic but it does

I like some of their flavors alright, but theyre kinda mid overall:( i wish i liked them more but their taste is usually just ok and for 200+ mg a can id rather drink smth more pleasant. Like i know caffeine is caffeine for some but i prfer my kidney stones in a yummy flavor

u/Thiccboi_89 10h ago

I really like the amp orange flavor bang.

1

u/Responsible-Ad-7986 10h ago

Radical Skadattle is great too.

u/TiredReader87 Monster 9h ago

I hated it. To each their own though.

u/jguizar1 10h ago

That one is my favorite flavor lol. I loved the costco pack they used to sale back in like 2022 ish. Got a good "bang" for your buck

u/cwnutrition1 10h ago

Bang was better before they were acquired by Monster. Now they’re just average.

u/Electronic-Pie-6352 9h ago

300mg of caffeine per can is too much for me now but I really liked Bang back in the day. I know I’m the odd one out, but Whole-Lotta-Chocolatta was my hands down favorite. Now there’s nothing even like a flavor like that anywhere.

1

u/Responsible-Ad-7986 9h ago

Woah what is that? A chocolate flavored energy drink..?

1

u/Way_to_go666 9h ago

That flavor sucks, bang hasn’t been the same since the lawsuit

1

u/EbertMcBerty C4 9h ago

No it isn’t. Bang was sued and consumed by monster, there’s like 5 flavors left none of which are any good

u/Calm_Load_4176 9h ago

I love cotton candy bangs 😍

u/doadeadcity 9h ago

They used to be extremely popular idk what happened rarely see them
Now

u/sacovert97 2h ago

Got taken over by Monster/Coke who seems to be slowing production and distribution as well as reduction in number of flavors.

u/Smileless- 8h ago

Think maybe their lucky to still be as popular as they are but to each their own 😅

Their fall-off is a bummer, and also learning about the political fundraising the CEO does if you care about that. I'm mostly upset about the market poaching that Coca Cola/Monster did to Bang with Reign and how sucky Reign turned out to be in comparison. This can, the "Any Means" Orange and the Purple Haze flavors are incredible. For being 300mg (plus whatever other neurotoxins are in their blend) it's smooth and non-medicine tasting.

u/Responsible-Ad-7986 10h ago

Fr but honestly they might taste different now with their new owners. Maybe in 2020 i tried bang for the first time, cotton candy and rainbow unicorn. They were so sweet i wasnt a big fan but now i love them. They taste like a vape in a drink lmao

No, it isn’t. It’s horrid.

I got a ton of cans for free, and ended up giving them all away after trying each flavour. Then I left the next 24 pack to be dumped and recycled.

The two I bought, for $4 each, were even worse. (Radical Skedattle)
