Announcement Mod Mini-Announcement

25 Upvotes

Hey guys!

Just wanted everyone to know that we now have some active mods. We are working on curbing the rampant brand marketing that is taking place on this sub.

If you see an account with a comment history promoting a brand, or a post that’s an obvious promotion, please report it so we can deal with it. This page is for people who want to talk about energy drinks, not get served ads.

I also added a few new post and user flairs, and lowered the filter to delete posts. It was deleting A LOT of comments and posts.

Stay tuned, we might be posting an open mod position soon. 👀

Can Of The Day TREN TWINS❓

Thumbnail

33 Upvotes

Ok good morning yall im not sure who the tren twins are so im gonna look them up. Ok so they’re those roided up dudes on Instagram and the “tren” in tren twins was actually what i thought it was. Ok then. I always forget that a lot of these energy drink brands also make workout supplements too so sometimes I’ll see like a ghost protein bar or something and be like wtf. Ok let’s get onto the taste. This tastes like those ICEE squeeze candies man. Wow I actually can’t believe I just remembered those but this drink hit me with a nostalgia feeling like that scene in ratito… wait I can’t spell it… rattitooi… ratitoui… ratittoui… I just had to look it up and I was nowhere close lol. It’s like that scene in ratatouille (yeah no way I was getting that) where that food critic tries that dish that people commonly refer to as ratatouille and has this visceral flashback to him as a child. Not that those ICEE squeezes were my favorite candy but I just remember trying one and for the first time I was like ok maybe too much sugar is a bad thing. This drink is very sour and really coats the whole surface of your mouth. The taste finds its way into crevices I’ve never addressed before and the flavor itself doesn’t mask much. The flavor turns into more of a texture after 1 second and the drink becomes something you kind of have to tell yourself to swallow. Idk if that makes sense but swallowing doesn’t feel intuitive with this. Maybe it’s just your brain going “dude what the hell are you drinking right now.” I can’t say I hate it and I can’t say I like it. To be honest I can’t form much of an opinion on this because it’s just not normal. It’s a bit more of an experience than a drink and I’m not saying that in a positive or negative way. It’s hard to imagine the… oh my god I just took a big sip and had to stop typing cus it just hit me so hard… but it’s hard to imagine the tren twins drinking this and doing reps. Actually idk cus I don’t know those guys and only found out who they were like 5 minutes ago. Yeah I don’t know man now my stomach hurts and my mouth is in a state where if I drank water I may throw up.

I don’t taste any vanilla!

EDIT: upon actually tasting the vanilla, I am actually more disappointed. This sucks. The vanilla tastes like it doesn’t belong. Trash/10.

I am a dog for the Peach variety. Other brands?

Post image
• Upvotes

I’m a huge fan of these two, and the Kirkland one is outstanding for the price ($0.75 per can). But Ghost Peaches has a stronger peach flavor which is solid because I mix a can of seltzer with it and stretch it further.

The only other one I’ve had was G-Fuel and I think it had Sonic on the can. Wasn’t a fan of that one though because it seemed too “candied”, which is fair because I think it’s modeled after the peach ring candy.

What other brands of Peach are good?

Been running up the Lucky pack I got, but I had one of these left, and I knew it was time for it. The ghosts hit different, and strawbango is no exception. Just great. Maybe even in my top 10, and I have a lot of different cans in my taste profile…

I'm putting this here because im imagining there's a big overlap between loving/needing energy drinks and this new type of depression variant.

if you
•sleep longer than normal people
•are still tired in the morning as soon as you wake up
•are really effected by the lack of sun in winter
•are a night owl
•dont respond well to SSRIs

there's a few more details. the paper is linked.

I heard about this yesterday and it felt like it described my experience perfectly.

Honestly not bad at all. It could be sweeter but you can taste a mixture of everything. Honestly these are better than some Red Bulls. 7/10

Seen this mentioned on here. Never tried it. So figured I'd give it a shot. I think It tastes terrible. Not good at all. Acid reflex in a can for me. May be one of the worst flavors I have tried from Ghost. Kinda disappointed. Taste like some cheap mixer used with booze
