    Most regular energy drinks. Red Bull and regular Monster taste like battery acid to me. Remember NOS? That too. Also Rockstar. All battery acid.

    The flavored variants can be better though.

      Oh the white peach is genuinely habit forming. One day I opened the fridge to find out hubs had picked me up one on the way home and genuinely felt myself salivate.

        Oh dang. I already shared a comment above about how much I can’t stand Red Bull, but we have a slushie machine at work and last summer one of the guys filled it up with white peach red Bull, and HO-LY SHIT. I couldn’t stop drinking those things!

        I love V8. My dad always had it in the fridge when I was a kid so I grew up drinking it, although I’ve since learned that opinions on V8 can heavily differ.

        It also just hit me you’re probably talking about V8 Energy. Yes I like that. It tastes like juice to me.

      I’ll go one step further and say, most energy drinks in general.

      It’s not even so much the flavor as it is the chalky texture and aftertaste that just about every one of them seems to have. I’m not sure if they’re all powder-based or what, but there’s a residual feeling left on my tongue that I can’t stand.
