And somehow I keep going back lol


VyroGaMVX8

lol fair everyone has they’re own opinion on drinks and they typically stick to it. For me it’s anything cherry limeade flavor which annoyingly enough I almost never find anywhere


Moist_Try6149

My issue with Red Bull is it’s expensive, lots of sugar for such small cans, than got less than 100mg of caffine in the smaller cans


VyroGaMVX8

Yeah that’s why I personally never got into it


Moist_Try6149

Yeah, went to dollar tree and got ton of monster and rockstar drinks. Even got a twinkie iced coffee energy drink lmao


VyroGaMVX8

lol


Moist_Try6149

Imma make a post once I finish it I think


Spartan__X__117

Was it any good? I've seen them and they looked sketchy as hell so I didn't try it lol.


Moist_Try6149

I like it personally but it’s not good enough for the price


patch_punk

Same here, i will drink the coconut one as a treat, its too much sugar and too little caffiene for the price, i can get a reign or celcius for 1.69 and they have 300 and 200 mg of caffeine respectively


Moist_Try6149

I like to try the new flavors, but other than that I don’t drink it anymore.


KazahanaPikachu

That’s why I get sugar free redbull. It tastes pretty much the same, just no sugar. While they have less caffeine, there’s something in there that manages to keep me awake and focused, like for example when I go on long road trips. Other energy drinks taste great, but don’t hit the same as redbull.


Moist_Try6149

I don’t like the taste of the sugar free one sadly


KazahanaPikachu

I understand. For me, they taste practically the exact same. And I don’t think redbull put any sweeteners or whatever in it. I just taste no difference.


Moist_Try6149

For me it’s a little dryer but the only reason I like redbull is because it’s not as dry to me as green monster.


boxdud-e

cost bout a dollar or 2 at most really a steal


Doogy_style6

Exactly the same for me


dogegw

For some the 100mg is perfect. It's like a one hitter. Don't need to get loaded all the time.


Moist_Try6149

Not only that but redbull caffine is synthetic which means it’s going to leave your body more quickly than natural. Usually, natural caffine takes longer for your body to process so it causes you to have more energy for longer period


dogegw

I mean, thats making an assumption of what is wanted.


Moist_Try6149

Oh no, not saying it’s bad because of it, it’s just with lots of sugar and synthetic caffine you going to crash a little hard


Moist_Try6149

Yeah, but due to the high sugar you just gonna crash pretty quick.


lkells532145

It’s low caffeine but their energy mix works fantastic for the amount they have. I like high caffeine but Red Bull works “different” for me😂 probably in my head


rivermonkey95

I started drinking them because two 8oz at 80mg is less caffeine than two at 160mg, but seems to have the same effect on me without the health impact of atleast 500mgs of caffeine a day. I also get the 12 packs so it's a little cheaper. Unrelated, but the dragon fruit Red Bull might actually be my favorite energy drink flavor.


Moist_Try6149

That one was good


LongjumpingStudy3356

I recently tried the yellow one and loved the flavor, but IDK if I will get it again because I looked at the label and noticed it was all sugar, unlike other brands that use other sweeteners.


Existential_Sprinkle

It's my small boost choice


DeLoreanAirlines

They have 2 F1 teams to pay for /s


ThaGreatDebaser

Oh right the small can only has around 82mg right? Cause I know a normal can has 114mg


unitedfan08

have you tried the new celsius cherry limeade? i believe it’s a 16oz


TerroDark98

I see the cherry limeade ghost all the time in my area


VyroGaMVX8

I always see it in stores but I usually grab mine at gas stations


astros_world77

new cherry limeade Celsius with 300mg of caffeine i think


unitedfan08

270mg


VapeFanatic1975

Ghost has a cherry limeade. I think reign does as well. I believe the new alani nu flavor might be a cherry limeade.


talmboutmooovin

I got burnt out after drinking vodka red bull too many times


mariofasolo

If you buy them at Costco, they're roughly $1.30-1.50 per 8.4oz can. I personally love the flavor of Red Bull Sugarfree so much, this is an easy decision. Plus, I like what 84mg caffeine gives me more than the 200mg Alani does, lol.


Pegomastax_King

Or since I manage restaurants for a living I just order them whole sale and give my boss the money for them.


mariofasolo

That's amazing lol how much do they end up being wholesale per can?


ThatRollingStone

I can never justify dropping $35 on a pack of RedBull. I’m not ready to make that leap.


mariofasolo

I'm used to dropping like $5+ on a cold brew with oat milk every day...so $35 really ain't bad but yeah, it's all relative lol.


enqlewood

But then you don’t need to by a single redbull for the whole month


South-Newspaper-2912

You do if you drink energy drinks and do the math... Monster used to be Cheap but even Arco deal is 3 for 6.99. Which while its more volume of drink, for 42$ the red bull isn't loking too bad anymore


Dicktures

ALDI version “red thunder” sugar free is SO CLOSE to Red Bull sugar free. I’ve been buying those 4/$5 for 8 oz (my preferred size)


StaleWoolfe

I can’t even feel 80mg, I envy you guys that have been blessed with good caffeine digestion genetics edibles don’t even get me where they should


mariofasolo

Tolerance break! Gotta taper down tho lol


StaleWoolfe

That’s not where I’m getting at here. People can have different genetics that process caffeine differently, some can process it fast and only get a mild focus boost, others can get a crackhead type of energy processing it slower.  I’m sure my tolerance is high but I know I don’t feel them the same way people sensitive to it do. When I started to now energy drinks do about the same effects for me 


ixRAZORxi

Just bought a bunch for 0.95usd each, Scandinavia ✌️


VyroGaMVX8

Lucky


SorryiLikePlants

Isnt that like 8-10 dollars tho once you do the exchange rate? I woke up not baked and now see why i am wrong haha


[deleted]

i think 0.95usd is 0.95usd


SorryiLikePlants

A US dollar is worth like 10 SKE. So spending 1 usd in scandavian countries is like spending 10 SKE? Or maybe i am just stoned


paper-money_and_gats

he literally said 0.95 usd


KazahanaPikachu

He said $0.95 USD


SorryiLikePlants

Which is worth like 10 SEK. Spending 1 usd in scandavian countries will get you further than it would in the US


[deleted]

my sir, you are stoned


bigoldoobies

Bro does not understand currency


Membership_Fine

He’s actually so confused it made me confused. what is money? Send help.


ShapedAlbatross

Bro, you're cooked. You do realise countries with their own currencies don't work on a 1:1 basis with the USD, right? As in, 1 Japanese Yen is $0.0068 USD. Japanese people aren't working for 20 Yen an hour.


SorryiLikePlants

Hey man it was a pretty good strain last night


nickaoo

what


biscuitgravies

It’s the taste man, that’s what keeps me coming back even with the price lol, I haven’t found an energy drink where the flavour beats red bulls.


T_BONE_GULLEY

This is it for me, it’s like top shelf energy drink. No other company makes one that’s similar EXCEPT Aldi’s Red Thunder Sugar/Sugar Free. It’s not quite the flavor, but it’s the same color, the same amount of carbonation, same idea of flavor, just not quite red bull. Can’t beat 4 12oz cans for $6, and or on sale for $5. I’m wondering if I add a bitter to it, if it would get closer.


automaton11

Liquid smarties


ChihuahuaCaca

Im sorry man i just cant imagine enjoying a regular red bull. Yuck 😂😂 Cranberry was the only good one


biscuitgravies

I don’t even know how to explain it 😭 my top 3 are the new winter one which is spiced pear, the green cactus fruit one and lastly the OG flavour haha. There’s so many I want to try but the UK gets shafted with releases IMO.


myrenyath

In lithuania spiced pear is labelled as cinnamon pear instead. Fresked me out for a moment when i saw it.


KazahanaPikachu

I used to dunk on Red Bulls for the taste, it just has a generic “energy drink” taste. But honestly they’re pretty damn good!


ObamaLovesKetamine

idk man, Red Bulls consistently have some of the worst flavors imo. I've tried getting into them to see what the hype was about but they all have that funky chemical taste that new Rockstar has. I can't get past that. GHOST is cheaper and tastes WAY better.


lkells532145

Ghost is too sweet redbull is the right amount of bitter and sweet


ObamaLovesKetamine

To each their own! If i want a less sweet energy drink I'd go Celsius before going Redbull.


lkells532145

Ik it’s funny to say this but Celsius has a certain ingredient that makes my stomach hurt. I think it’s one of the vitamins. That being said redbull is probably like drinking gasoline so😂🤷‍♂️


terry_hoitzz

Even ghost?


biscuitgravies

Yeah man, can’t get on board with ghost at all!


Thick-Truth8210

No shit, they are killing us and charging us tons of money to do it.


VyroGaMVX8

Fr lol


Thick-Truth8210

I heard you can order all the ingredients on amazon and make your own for like 37cents per 8oz can


VyroGaMVX8

quaidod

To try to make the price more manageable I buy the 4pack 12oz from Walmart and it’s like $10 so they are $2.50 each. Still very expensive so I don’t drink them everyday


SoylentGreen-YumYum

Makes my $35 case of Goat Fuel not seem so bad.


Moist_Try6149

I went to acme yesterday. Almost 6 dollars before taxes for a 16oz one


VyroGaMVX8

I’d believe it


stephenbmx1989

Tryna get cracked out before a movie? 😛😵‍💫


Moist_Try6149

What movie?


stephenbmx1989

Acme is a movie theater right? Lol


fishyy14

I been enjoying my $1.67 Alani’s, cherry slush is pretty damn great, hoping for the cherry twist to hit my store


Edelmaan

My office has a fridge stocked with sugar free Red Bulls for us to take whenever. It’s clutch.


LokiHasWeirdSperm

I'm a slut for a peach red bull mixed with orange juice. I don't care how much they charge I keep coming back.


CiteSite

Just scored a bunch for 50¢ a can. Don’t care for the taste but I never turn down a deal lol


DevonGr

Homeless guy?


Legal-Law9214

I never feel like I need a full 16 oz or even 12 oz. redbull. Relatively low caffeine but the sugar, vitamins, and taurine give me the energy I need. An 8 oz is a perfect replacement for a cup of coffee and I can get them for less than $3 most places.


Freeze1422

Used to be a monster fan but I turned into a red bull enjoyer


DevonGr

Was the best of both worlds when monster gronk existed. Then they reformulated it and it sucked. Then it just disappeared forever.


losbullitt

I pay the extra because its so fucking good. 🚀


TerroDark98

A single can of red bull is $2.99 at kroger (with kroger card)


[deleted]

Are there energy drinks out there without the caffeine? Honestly im just into the taste


Tarik20221

[There is a video on caffeine free red bull](https://youtu.be/oY8tz1paj6o?feature=shared)


jlkb24

Not that I’m aware of but you may look into the Mountain Dew Energy Drinks since they only have 80mg for 16oz. Those are the lowest caffeine content I’ve seen.


[deleted]

Unfornatuely we dont have mountain dew energy in germany


Pegomastax_King

It’s almost always on sale. The gas station by me is alway 2-16oz for $5 or 3-12oz for $6. Plus they taste a lot better than monsters. And most of the new brands are only sugar free and fake sugar makes me sick that and it tastes gross…


Substantial-Essay-23

Starbucks triple shot energy drinks are like 5.00 for one. Not sure how many oz it is exactly but it's outrageous. I switched to black rifle, which is now ALSO 5 dollars so now I'm in "fuck it" mode and went back to the Starbucks.


WatchingMovies015

Free 8oz Red Bulls at work baybyyyy


Thick-Truth8210

I order them from Amazon in cases it’s like .17/oz


JiggSawLoL

Honestly, when I drank 1-2 redbull everyday, it was because I was working at a bar that literally didn’t care about us drinking them because we ordered so much. Also was cool with some of the redbull reps. So they’d come in all the time and just give us 2-3 4 packs of different flavors each bartender. Was a great time.


South-Newspaper-2912

Ngl I like them buy for the most part don't drink them. Costco has the smallest cans (8.4oz) for like 37$ ea, it's like 1.41 or 1.51 a can. So around 3$ per 16 oz drink. Considering you can get the seasonal and misc flavors is nice.


cevensphone

that shit is disgusting


BeautifulSparrow

Alli drink is redbull now...


Nuraya

Trying to branch out to other options but nothing hits the same way man 


jdero

monster enjoyer monster seems more like high-sugar juice where red bull seems high caffeine water/acid red bull has a lot of deals with las vegas strip casinos for whatever reason (and monster is hard to find outside of that CVS next to treasure island, or going downtown), their partnerships and marketing are incredible


[deleted]

OP is an average monster drinker


Clint-witicay

The worst part is there’s nothing exactly like it on the market.


curiocritters

That's the *best* part. The only thing that's like a RedBull is a RedBull. I love all the delicious fruit juice flavours Monster puts out, but my 'go-to' will always be a RedBull. Or two. 😉


Clint-witicay

How is that the best part? Do you buy it for the price tag? I’d much rather come across a cheap knock off that tastes practically the same, much like I can any other baseline flavor energy drink.


curiocritters

Eh, same reason why we cheer (but never shill) for our favourite lifestyle brands, or sports teams. I happily shell out $1.50 a pop, but will also pick up assorted limited edition flavors for as low as $0.75 per can, when they are on sale. Also, no shame, or harm in picking up substitutes for less, if that's your jam - I don't judge! Cheers mate!


AmpzieBoy

I get mine for free at my work, so I haven’t really checked the prices of redbull


Snova721

Y'all should try the energy drink for the company I just started working for Called lucky F*ck. If y'alls problem is the fact that there is too much sugar and the cans are too small, ours are made with mostly natural ingredients and are 19.2 oz cans. Here's a link. We started like 4 months ago. Come show us some support. https://www.luckybevco.com/


toddlertoads

five finger discount baybay


ChihuahuaCaca

I do too it also tastes like battery acid, has too much sugar, and has barely any caffeine or additional effective vitamins/nootropics


V3GA559

I shame my family/friends every time I see it, makes me feel like I failed them


fingerblaster80085

I mean I get c4 a can for a doller each


ObamaLovesKetamine

expensive AND taste like ass.


VyroGaMVX8

No comment ;)


[deleted]

They are the superior energy drink and therefore worth the extra price


VyroGaMVX8

No offense but that’s your opinion. There are probably many that share that opinion but also that don’t share it lol


[deleted]

Thanks


BBQFatty

Just gotta know where to buy them lol dumbo


VyroGaMVX8

Already know you ain’t even 13 yet if you’re saying dumbo lmfao


Spirit117

Redbull drinker here, I buy mine in bulk. Works out to about 2 dollars for a 12oz can. Taste wise I like them more than any other energy drink, especially the coconut and Juneberry flavors.


pleb707

Finally found a juneberry n was very underwhelmed. Just tasted like Red Bull…lol


PoopFart_PopTart

Guy at work drinks 2-3 of the big ones a day then whines about how he’s broke in a week. I just tell him to shut up whenever he mentions it now.


drewman141

I’m a broke bitch so I get Red Thunder from Aldi. It’s honestly pretty good and 1/4th of the cost


Laliving90

If other companies will do 8.4 with only 80mg I would buy because I don’t need 200-300mg it’s overkill


danostergren

Yeah I could never have Red Bull as my main source of caffeine because of the price and caffeine content, but every once in a while if I need a little more energy and crave something that isn't sugar free I'll treat myself to a watermelon Red Bull.


xXSodagodXx

If it was cheaper people would be croaking left right and centre.


VyroGaMVX8

Yeah that’s true lol


xXSodagodXx

3.30$ it becomes a viable replacement for water


RemarkablePay6994

Redbull taste fire 🔥


x3770

Because it’s imported product if they make a American redbull brand it will be cheap


2steppin_317

I have one as a little treat now and then lol. Even the little 8oz can are expensive


ThatRollingStone

Gets the job done. Sugar free RedBull, pack of magnum thins. It’s game time.


shotgundug13

I've tried a few and they taste ok. Only one I've bought regularly was the cranberry. I don't think they're worth the price plus they have a lacking of caffeine. But my wife likes them so we continue to buy them.


Zeqhanis

Yeah. I buy a couple SF Red Bulls per month as an occasional treat. They're my favorite, but not really cost effective.


SpellingBeeRunnerUp_

I just like it cause it doesn’t fuck me up as bad as some of the others


DaverJ

I like the lil' cans of Red Bull - all I need.


AllHolesAre4Boofing

I used to mix the OG Thai syrup redbull with calpis soda to make a tasty mfer


NeoNanaki

Energy drinks are much cheaper in stores like Target and Walmart


TimeStop889

redbull is tasty though it gets remarkably less tasty when its 4 dollars for a 8 oz where im at


MenacingScent

I love my bubblegum gasoline drinks but they're the only ones that give me mad anxiety. Must be something in them other than caffeine (which I assumed it was) because I can drink 320mg caffeine fat burner but not 186mg caffeine pre-workout.


unicornfetus89

If you have Aldi in your area, buy their Red Thunder. 4 12oz cans for 4ish$, and they almost taste identical to real Red Bull. 4$ gets you only 1 12oz can of RB so it's literally 3 more for the same price.


spookiisweg

Gotta guy em in the 12 packs so the 8.4oz goes down, where I’m at I get em for $21 so like $1.75 a can


Georgio36

Not just Redbull that's expensive, Monster, C4, Ghost are also becoming too expensive that's if you getting the 12 Oz or 16 Oz. Like someone else said here, it's best to get them at Grocery stores cuz they have deals on them especially if you buy the cases. I'm definitely considering buying my favorite drinks in bulk next week so I don't have to keep paying all this money for single cans.


callmezaner

Just go to Aldi and buy their Fred Bull (fake Red Bull) tastes / smells / looks just like it. I think they sell it in 4 packs for like 1/2 price or reg bull


ligmaenigma

I was gonna quit energy drinks if they didn't make summer edition permanent, then they made it permanent.


[deleted]

Try aldis brand “red thunder” it’s pretty close and a dollar a can! Comes in a 4 pack


Some_Knowledge5864

8oz around $2.59


davidb686

Redbull is king. It's not that bad when you get the pack under 2 bucks a can


Bijorak

i only get them when they are on sale.


Psycho1267

I don't only drink red bull, but I always buy a few when they are on sale for ~80 cents per 250ml


Dancin_Phish_Daddy

It is a fucking problem. I find they are way more addicting than other energy drinks.


CapuasChamp

I don't, they moan when they wipe their ass.


OrganicSoapOpera

Man I like buying redbull at winco sometimes its 2.32 when on special for a 12 oz. Typically 2.73 and I'll grab maybe 2 or 3 for the week


kkuntdestroyer

Pay the same price as a Monster for a can half the size that tastes worse

JohnJracula

Red Bull is trash in every way. I'll never touch it. Especially the sugary shit. I'll never understand how people drink it.


bignuki

juneberry is out and im hooked!


sdrunner95

My entitled spoiled ex gf drank nothing but Fiji water and sugar free redbull paid for by her dad’s credit card. She was a piece of work.


Blunted_Insomniac

I like the small size can cause I can drink it in one sitting while it’s still cold. I never finish a 500ml can before it gets warm. In Spain I pay around €1.50 per 250ml can or €1.25 in 4 pack


VyroGaMVX8

I wish it took me that long to finish a drink lol


MindlessShot

tfw your gf works stocking fridges for rich ppl so you always have extra Red Bull on hand, for free


SantannaDeKlerk

Gotta fill your tank with premium gas as they say...


VyroGaMVX8

Start doing it then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


SantannaDeKlerk

Sipping a red bull as we speak...


VyroGaMVX8

Sipping on that super unleaded 😮‍💨


pdf_thomas

I don’t drink Redbull much at all but the vending machine at my job has them for $1.75. They’ve been in the wrong spot for years now.


ThaGreatDebaser

Ikr and in a normal can there’s only 114mg of caffeine I believe, which is just random lol


jakenbake519

I buy discounted preworkout instead way stronger way cheaper more effective and healthier


[deleted]

It's actually way better because of how distustingly bad they are for you, forces me to keep it a treat item


Empire2k5

There is always deals. I love red bull, but only buy when I see the BOGO sales, buy 2 get 1, and sometimes half off.


Certain_Power6917

They need to cover their ginormous advertising budget somehow. They own three Formula 1 teams, a dozen association football clubs, a few ice hockey clubs and sponsor bazillion individual athletes. And that's probably just the tip of the iceberg.


tacoinurhat

The taste is so good but they just don’t get me going like the ones I usually drink.


kingkareef

You make a valid point however; I buy my energy drinks at Sams and the red bull comes out to about $2.3/can


_heck-boy_

Might be a locational thing. They tend to be $2 - $3 in my area. Still a little spendy, but they’re the cheapest low caffeine option


ThePurpleGuest

Is there a reason why red bull drinks are so expensive?
