      Many stores that sell monster in the NL are going out of business bc of the delayed shipments. Supermarkets have also stopped selling. It would be such a shame to not be able to buy my favorite energy drink in the NL anymore.

    The standard ones do come in multiple sizes in the UK. You can get 250ml (usually sold in bars for Jägerbombs) and they also do a "Mega Monster" which is the standard one but in the resealable 553ml can like the Ultra. Also, we used to have Lo-Carb and Rehab in the UK, but Lo-Carb was merged with Absolutely Zero/zero sugar, and Rehab was discontinued.

    The age limit in the UK is 16. It was first introduced as recommended thing. But I believe it was around 2018/2019, a law was actually passed that stores are legally required to check the challenge 25 rule. Which means if an individual looks under 25 they must be asked for ID first. Though not all stores bother or care as most 16 year olds don't carry ID.
    My store does because if we fail to challenge ID, then we, as the workers, can be fined if caught failing to correctly apply challenge 25.
    I'm personally glad that this rule wasn't around when I was 16 because I was drinking energy drinks around the age of 14 XD

    I've actually tracked down and tried almost all the US Monster flavors. I don't quite know why I like them. When I drink it, it's like I know it tastes like I'm drinking cleaning fluid, but I also kind of like it. I don't know, I love trying weird and odd flavored drinks. Energy drinks definitely have their own unique vibe.

      @@PSNDonutDude It's definitely a component. I would still probably drink them if they didn't have caffeine because I legit like the taste, but I've tried to cut most sugary drinks out of my life so I only get them now and again. The caffeine helps me justify it because it does provide me some benefit, though caffeine doesn't affect me very much in lower doses because of both my height and weight. It isn't around 300mg that I get any sense of extra alertness. I always hated the term "energy" drink because they don't really give you energy. If anything, it's borrowing energy from later to feel more awake when you still have sleep grog.

    As an enthusiast of the Java Monster line, I'm highly jealous of the UK's Espresso line. I've only been able to find 3 of the US's Java flavors, I wonder if the others are limited time or only sold in certain stores or even certain states. My favorite's Loca Mocha, a pretty standard mocha flavor. There's also Mean Bean, which is vanilla- not bad, I'm just not big on vanilla coffee. Generally, you can find these at any store. The only other flavor I've been able to find, I only found at a single store, a 5 Below. It was a "nitro brew" black coffee flavor. Apparently nitro brewing = better texture, but I was too distracted by the horrendous taste of artificial sweeteners to notice. So much for "black coffee".

      Monster espresso taste like ass, it's just coffee but far worse and quite frankly lacks any good qualities of coffee. You can barely taste the coffee, what you can taste is oversweetened and watered down milk with just a hint of bitterness from a really bad coffee. The best coffee in the UK is either Arctic coffee if you have a sweet tooth or Jimmy's coffee, imo.

    There has been a resealable "Mega Monster" in the UK for years now which is bigger than the standard sized can.. typically you'd find them in petrol stations but have seen them sold elsewhere too
    We used to get Java Monster and Monster Rehab too, I can't help but notice that the US's Exclusives aren't anywhere near as good as they used to be

    My favourite monster lately is monster khaotic here in UK. It reminds me of like orange sherbert sort of taste . You can get American monsters in uk but these tend to be at independent shops that have imported them in as a alternative to buying from the Internet as such . So I was lucky enough to find a monster java Irish blend however been a import and any other imported flavours tend to be the price of around £3.99 where as monsters that are sold in UK as per normal are around £1.79 price so if ya lucky to have shop in ya area in uk and they do stock American flavours or even elsewhere I'd save up ya pennies cos it be considered a treat .

    That Rossi one (VR46) they couldn't get their hands on is actually one of my favourites. It's one of the slightly lighter ones a bit like the rehabs, and it's more refreshing and drinkable than a lot of Monster. Otherwise I tend to go for the Juiced options where I can - used to love Khaos but I think they stopped doing it.

    I generally refer the Relentless brand, also owned by Monster. There is possibly more artificial sweetener in Monster, which makes it taste sweeter and smoother. The exception is Monster Assault (which has a camouflage design) which tastes like a cola, and is actually preferable to the CocaCola Energy drinks (which taste odd)

The solution I came up with is mixing in a zero sugar powerade in the middle of the day to help replace what I was losing .
