I honestly see see more Rockstars around than Monsters in Canada. Rockstar's are usually 3 for $7. Monsters are usually 2 for $7. Rockstars often have 20mg more caffeine too. And more sugar-free flavours.
I work for a vending company and i had our warehouse manager try the whipped strawberry rockstar, she liked it, we had to get rid of a few energy drinks and i was told that we'd be getting that flavor in. Its been a big hit any market or vending machine i put it in.
I have a few accounts that empty out 3 rows of whipped strawberry in their machine every week, but don't touch the originals. And then others that are the complete opposite. Really weird how it works.
It's really good. My personal favorite of the Sugary Rockstars is the new Strawberry Peach one. It's delicious. I normally drink a Lemonade Rockstar Recovery in the morning.
My favorite is the old orange and lemonade flavors. I think they changed the recipe a while ago, so it's not as good anymore but I still like those flavors the best
They actually have a mutual agreement, that they will not have any problems with each other as long as Rockstar Energy doesn’t start making video games, and Rockstar Games doesn’t start making energy drinks.
Who else remembers what Pepsi took from us in 2020? They changed the formula on us and tried to say it was the original one until we uproared and they started selling the “throwback” flavor which is the actual OG we fell in love with
I first learned about Rockstar Energy back in 2001, when I stopped by a liquor store in Simi Valley, CA on my way back to L.A. and saw the cans and the ridiculously low price. It tasted so good, I went back a week later and bought a whole 24-can case. At the same time, the store owner recommended Ketel One as a mixer, and that's been my go-to vodka ever since.
A Bang video would be interesting. It's parent company making redline, and the recent monster lawsuit that bankrupt them, allowing them to be gobbled up by monster
I was in high school when Rockstar was gaining popularity and coming out with various flavors. I wasn't interested in energy drinks at the time. But one of my classmates had an extra that was kinda grape flavored, and offered it to me. It was so good! And I've never been able to find it again since.
Rockstar used to be my favorite energy drink brand, but for whatever reason, all the supermarkets around this area stopped selling it about 2 years ago. I thought they went bankrupt or something and am surprised to hear that the brand still exists.
That is about when Pepsi bought them. Pepsi changed the formulas and they taste like **** now. They were not great before, but they had a crisp taste that did not linger or have a flimy texture.
PepsiCo just kneecapped them, is all. Wiped out like 10 flavors upon acquisition and made very basic flavors as replacements because they fear innovation. Rockstar will be lucky to remain in the Top 10 Energy Drinks in the next decade.
@@michaelmccarthy4615 it was cheaper for Pepsi to buy them than to buy out of their exclusively deal. Pepsi has nos, reign, Celsius, and other brands that they want to push more. Rockstar is just there to meet contractual obligations.
I began drinking energy drinks in 2021 when I was put on a graveyard shift, tried different brands and my favorite was Monster followed by Red Bull, only tried Rockstar once and hated it. Co-workers kept on nagging me throughout the years about the energy drinks been a hazard to the organs so I tried out Celcius and ended up loving it and it was also co-worker approved.
First energy drink i had was a Rockstar. Was working in the warehouse at Canadian Tire, and went across the parking lot to Zellers on my break, and the rest is history.
Well, when I first came to Canada from India, I've never tasted Rockstar because we don't get them there and, once I tried, it quickly became my go-to energy drink over Redbull.
i used to love rockstar when they did all their fruit based flavors. now they make only their regular flavors, or at least only distribute their regular flavors. i end up with NOS most of the time now.
The energy drink market is so diverse it’s crazy. Like, with almost every other beverage that can’t be grown in your yard there’s been fast consolidation. But even today there’s more and more energy drinks. While red bull still holds supreme, there’s so many more. Bang, Celsius, whatever the hell gets made tomorrow
The craziest thing about rockstar is they don’t even their best flavors over in the states. The flavor is called punched guava and it’s actually the best energy drink I’ve ever had in my life but you can only order it online from Europe or Australia.
Battle of the Energy Drinks! There was a rally race on logging roads in Washington State years ago with the top 4 cars each sponsored by a different drink: -:Red Bull (Travis Pastrana) - Monster (Ken Block) - NOS (?) -:Rockstar (Tanner Foust) Funny situation. Drinks really had their targets on people who walk endlessly in the forest to catch a race car flying by for a few seconds.
Im surprised you didnt mention rockstar's "new" flavors. Their mango and guava flavors are why i drank them in the first place, it's a shame i cant find them anymore
I never really drank Rockstar. A long time ago I might have the occasional Relentless, but now if I do drink an energy drink its usually Monster either Fiesta(mango) or Gold(pineapple).
I don’t drink caffeine for the effect, because it has no effect on me and some even make my tired (bc I have adhd). So obviously I’m going to drink rockstar over coffee because it actually tastes good lol. You are still drinking caffine, just in a gross way.
Love that stuff. 20 years ago I was drinking one almost everyday but I know it’s not good for you so I cut it down to one per week and did that for years. Now I only drink one a month and I’m fine with that.
For similar brands/products that might be worth your attention, I’d recommend Celsius (which you mentioned in passing) and Olipop. In my experience with retail, I’ve noticed both of those products enjoy a surge in popularity within the past couple of years - especially with the up-and-coming adolescent and young adult population - which might indicate a paradigm shift toward unconventional yet “healthier” beverage concepts.
In my high school, the Monster Energy decals were on the lifted diesel trucks, and the Rockstar decals were on the hellcats. I’m a redbull guy and drive a hybrid
No kidding! A dude I went to school with had a Rockstar backpack and teachers got so mad about it but it was a fine backpack with nothing wrong with it. It’s just an energy drink logo!
Back in my energy drink drinking days I used to drink em all. Switch it up to get different flavors. NOS, Rockstar,Amp'd, Monster, Red Bull. I'm pushing almost 40. Those flavors remind me of highschool and my early 20's.
I miss the Rockstar sponsored mayhem metal festival. I nearly died numerous times. It was always on the hottest day of summer, with a line wrapped around buildings for the water fountains. And they gave out free Rockstar energy. I must've drank 8 of the whipped strawberry testers
I use to pick up a sugar free white rockstar energy drink every morning before school. It was such a highlight. Now that I'm older I switched to a white powder form to feel even more like a rockstar. Way more of a kick.
The sugar free Red Bull was my favorite, before the coconut blueberry came out. However during nursing school I drank the original rockstar everyday lol it was always cheaper then the other by a long shot way more bang for you buck so to speak
When I was habitually drinking energy drinks, Rockstar was one of my favorites because the flavor is predominantly guarana. Lots of energy drinks contain it, but most don't let it stand as the main flavor.
I started drinking Rockstar in 2009. It dipped in popularity, and later on they changed the recipe, that was it for me. I drink Monster now (once a week)
I started drinking Monster in 2004. For the next year people would keep asking me “what is that?” During that same period absolutely no one was saying that about Rockstar. It was safe to say that in this region (west Georgia), Rockstar was the more-recognized brand back then.
rockstar's regular zero sugar flavor is amazing and has been since before everyone else figured out how to make good tasting zero sugar drinks. they are lots of amazing ones now though. ghost is probably the most amazing flavors
My ex used to drink Monster(regular green) every single day, at the very least one a day but usually two or three. Eventually she had to stop because the doctor told her she had ruined her esophagus via acid reflux and had started developing stomach ulcers. The worst of it was that her guts were literally rotting. Yes rotting.
Hey, I haven't watched you in a while, but you're one of the better content creators out there. You're videos are always entertaining, and very informative at the same time. I need to get back to watching you.
Red Bull is my energy drink of choice, but I do really enjoy rockstar. When I was in high school, our cafeteria only sold rockstar as the energy drink option, and I got really
I got introduced to Rockstar Energy drinks when I went to the Rockstar sponsored Mayhem festival in 2009. I got a few free samples of the Punched flavor at the Rockstar tent. I'll still drink the Punched flavor every once in a while.
Fond memories of 2011 and 2012 being stationed on an aircraft carrier and one machine on the entire ship having Rockstar Recovery lemonade - to my mind, Red Bull was for that mid-day power jolt, Recovery was non-carbonated and a bit gentler to start the day with. To this day I've never tried mainline Rockstar, only because it's not available in multi-can packs where I am now.
Although Rip it was my first energy drink, Rockstar Energy is still my #1 go to. Something about that flavor is just right for me. Second place was Monster Extra strength Black ice but that was retired long ago lmao
I used to drink the sugar free marshmallow energy drinks of Rockstar, in my college campus. I loved them so much, I wish Rockstar could bring them back. Nowadays I’m not a huge Rockstar drinker, but I’d usually go for a sugar free option.
I doubt it. PepsiCo is too scared to innovate. The executives rather continue making bank off what they know sells than take a risk. If the market had a shakeup in competitors, brands might be forced to innovate.
I think Rockstar's draw back is flavor. They play it safe, standard flavors similar to competition. Monster has some unique options pasific punch coconut ect...
That's what I hate. It didn't help that something like 10 flavors got axed when Rockstar got bought out. PepsiCo should really innovate with flavors or else the Rockstar brand will be dead in the water
I do find it funny, growing up in the northwest i never realized it was a smaller company. It tends to dominate as much or more shelf space than monster does here, making it feel like its as large a brand.
Redbull gave me stitches in my head in 1999. Rockstar was always my 2nd choice when I was younger and a drinker. Since quitting alcohol, I don't drink any "energy" drinks. Just black coffee.
I like Rockstar a lot. Amp was my favorite energy drink because I loved all their flavors but then it went away for a while and now, at least where I’m at, you can only ever find the original flavor.
Y favorite energy drink as a teen was adrenaline rush, I liked the strong grapefruit flavor. Rockstar is my favorite now for being conservative in sweetness, high caffeine, large can, and lower price; best of all worlds.
I like rockstar, its not normally my first choice but I will pick it from time to time. I like that the sugar free version uses sucralose, some brands like red bull use aspartame and I cant stand the taste of it
I rarely drink energy drinks anymore but my go to's were NOS and Amp. Also I started drinking energy drinks when basically every significant brand made one. Who else remembers Sobe No Fear and Crunk Juice?
Rockstar and Bang are my favorites. Java Monster is also high up, although a more occasional treat since I don't really like drinking my calories since I can get carried away and put on the fat due to it.
@@FinestCitizen the one I like is called Rockstar Recovery and it’s a lemonade flavor, it’s pretty refreshing and a little lower on the caffeine than a normal Rockstar.
I’ve been listening to Michael savage since the 10th grade and you a: handled this all well and fairly and b: answered a lot of questions I’ve always had about this
I forgot about Rockstar, I used to see them everywhere about 10 years ago, but in recent years I just never see it in grocery stores anymore, Its all just Red Bull and Monster now, though I usually go for one called "Relentless" if I am buying an energy drink, but they are much harder to find.
i really like rockstar due of the flavors they have. monster does have a few but not like rockstar. i like the punch, the limited volt black cherry, the sugar free drinks. now they have a mini energy drinks which is good if i don't feel like drinking a hole 16oz or i just need a little kick to start my day. and it reasonable affordable
I used to exclusively drink Rockstar, back when I was pretending to be one. XD My current favs are Full Throttle, Monster's Aussie Lemonade, and some of Red Bulls flavored drinks like Juneberry.
Man me and my friend used to drink one or two a day, kept the cans and made a castle. That only lasted afew months though before I said enough is enough
When I first decided to start drinking energy drinks back in 2010 I bought a Red Bull, a couple of different flavors of Monster, a Rockstar and a Rockstar Punched and ever since I have only drank Rockstar Punched because it tastes the best to me. This is how you should decide which one you like and not by who owns it or what commercials you've seen. For me anyway, the biggest thing Rockstar did was get itself in the same stories as Red Bull and Monster otherwise I never would have had the chance to try them.
In the uk we have many energy drink brands, like Boost, Emerge and Tyson Fury, so there's a lot of smaller options, that being said, Monster and Red Bull are still 2 of the largest. All of the supermarkets also have their own though, so there's an option for all budgets.
Rockstar, has always been a little too sweet for me. I don't drink any pop, and for energy drinks I go with NOS or Monster . However I sometimes go months without them as well. Milk is my drink of choice, and after it is hot tea.
Russell Weiner looks and acts like someone I imagine drinks a bunch of energy drinks
He looks like a total douche bag.
You should have seen the ex-CEO for BANG. Dude was the epitome of that statement.

I like rockstar, its not normally my first choice but I will pick it from time to time. I like that the sugar free version uses sucralose, some brands like red bull use aspartame and I cant stand the taste of it
I rarely drink energy drinks anymore but my go to's were NOS and Amp. Also I started drinking energy drinks when basically every significant brand made one. Who else remembers Sobe No Fear and Crunk Juice?
The Australian affiliate of the company is called Mother Energy Drink. Internet Historian once had a LOT of fun making puns about that name.
Since Monster stopped making their Dragon Tea, I've switched to Rockstar Recovery, which usually costs less if you buy cases in Amazon.
I love Rockstar. My personal favorite energy drink.
I hate it.
Rockstar and Bang are my favorites. Java Monster is also high up, although a more occasional treat since I don't really like drinking my calories since I can get carried away and put on the fat due to it.
Out of the 3, Rockstar is my energy drink of choice.
Agreed.
1. Tastes better than Red Bull
2. Less Expensive than Monster
Rockstar tastes like cold medicine to me.
I respect your opinion. I’m more of a monster guy, but Rockstar isn’t bad.
@@FinestCitizen the one I like is called Rockstar Recovery and it’s a lemonade flavor, it’s pretty refreshing and a little lower on the caffeine than a normal Rockstar.
I’ve been listening to Michael savage since the 10th grade and you a: handled this all well and fairly and b: answered a lot of questions I’ve always had about this

@@jackof1 or was that a Savage Nation golden oldie line…can totally hear it…back in the Bronx on Arthur Ave.
@@YankeeMav That was one of the classic lines about the 50s/early 60s

I forgot about Rockstar, I used to see them everywhere about 10 years ago, but in recent years I just never see it in grocery stores anymore, Its all just Red Bull and Monster now, though I usually go for one called "Relentless" if I am buying an energy drink, but they are much harder to find.
i really like rockstar due of the flavors they have. monster does have a few but not like rockstar. i like the punch, the limited volt black cherry, the sugar free drinks. now they have a mini energy drinks which is good if i don't feel like drinking a hole 16oz or i just need a little kick to start my day. and it reasonable affordable
The original Rockstar can design had a Las Vegas address on it which i thought was so neat living there at the time. Good times 😎
I used to exclusively drink Rockstar, back when I was pretending to be one. XD
My current favs are Full Throttle, Monster's Aussie Lemonade, and some of Red Bulls flavored drinks like Juneberry.
Rockstar has always been my favorite energy drink.
i was a huge fan of ...Lost energy drinks backn in the day
I first heard about this drink in an obscure, underrated Xbox game from 2002 called Deathrow.
Having the last name Weiner is absolutely hilarious 😂
A Stanley (old thermos style) full of coffee keeps me going
rockstar is the first energy drink I ever got addicted to. . . I mean drank so they'll always be the best for me.
Everyone wants to be a rockstar but no one wants to be a Paperstar
Man me and my friend used to drink one or two a day, kept the cans and made a castle. That only lasted afew months though before I said enough is enough
When I first decided to start drinking energy drinks back in 2010 I bought a Red Bull, a couple of different flavors of Monster, a Rockstar and a Rockstar Punched and ever since I have only drank Rockstar Punched because it tastes the best to me. This is how you should decide which one you like and not by who owns it or what commercials you've seen. For me anyway, the biggest thing Rockstar did was get itself in the same stories as Red Bull and Monster otherwise I never would have had the chance to try them.
That’s why Celsius went from hard to find into all the stores
I use to work for PepsiCo, it’s insane the reach they have
In the uk we have many energy drink brands, like Boost, Emerge and Tyson Fury, so there's a lot of smaller options, that being said, Monster and Red Bull are still 2 of the largest. All of the supermarkets also have their own though, so there's an option for all budgets.
Hell energy
GREAT SCOTT!
Sobe is short for South Beach. I just this moment got that.
NW Here, I've loved RockStar since 2003. It makes yours piss neon yellow. I've moved on to their Recovery blends now that I'm an old man.
Rockstar Silver Ice will always be my favorite energy drink!
If I had any say so, I would market on every wrestling show with a captive audience.
I loved the lethal weapon reference! 👏👍
Rockstar, has always been a little too sweet for me. I don't drink any pop, and for energy drinks I go with NOS or Monster . However I sometimes go months without them as well. Milk is my drink of choice, and after it is hot tea.
Redbull is still KING! With no help 😂
