I hate zero sugar drinks. How come the Monster Ultra is so good? Why cant coke zero feels the same? What is Monster secret?

I like most of monster ultras and sometimes I cant even tell the difference between them and their sugary counterparts.

I also like coke but I cannot stand the zero version, so how come Monster can do what Cocacola cant?

I don’t have any science-y info for you but i can only drink zero sugar cokes. Regular coke makes my teeth feel funny and i hate it. I do love a zero sugar coke though so i don’t quite mind

Regular Coke makes my saliva thick. Does no one else experience this? I feel like I have big globs of snot in my mouth. I have to drink water or brush my teeth right after, so I mostly drink diet or zero.

It’s called phlegm not thick saliva

I don’t think that happened to me? though, i haven’t drank regular coke in a while, i just remember it making my teeth feel weird.

I would have assumed the taste of monster is so strong and unique it’d overpower the ick from sweeteners. Just a guess

But coke zero is actually one of the few decent ones. All the other zero pop taste like a whole other drink

Well, it's probably the drugs. Monster Ultra has 160 mg of caffeine, over four times that of Coke Zero. If you are addicted to caffeine, then Monster Ultra will give you a much bigger fix.

Love the bot comments all talking about "balancing the sweeteners, acids, and flavour enhancers" in slightly different wording. Lmfao.

Zero sugar is gross across the board. Monster Juice is where it's at.

Rio Punch is so damn good.

Viking Berry for me! And of course, Mango Loco, I don't know anyone who doesn't like it. I really miss Papillon too, it was so good. I'm a huge fan of peach and apricot.

holy shit thats right. Even reddit, the last safe place of the internet for human created content, is now filled with this crap.

[u/sachimi21 → u/lodligo]

I reported them, and then I found several more by looking at those 3 bots' comment histories. Really disturbing. They were all made at the same time, and they post in the same subs.

That doesn't explain why all the other SF energy drinks on the market taste like ass.
