body armor strawberry banana guava

having not gone to school due to being sick, i found myself somehow desperately craving a watery juice drink( gatorate for example) and after digging through my fridge, i found this health drink i got for free at a patriots game, along with a body armor t shirt for throwing a football through a small hole. having passed by the monster booth and picking up all the monsters people left on the ground, i was extremely overstocked on monster and decided to throw this in the trunk of the car we were tailgating in. anyways, i am very thirsty so lets get on with it!


smell: kind of gross. like a protein bar and how jarritos tamarind smelled.



taste: have to say, i expected a lot better from this. its been in the fridge for a week and still isnt cold, and it tastes like twizzler mixed with banana puree. and then some coconut water.


overall: buyer beware! this is still drinkable, and a lot better tasting than many other health drinks. however body armor makes much better flavors, so i cant recommend this to any audience.

java monster kona blend

so this is the final java monster for me to review, and one of the rarer ones at that. i say this is the final because i dont expect to come across any of the discontinued ones. the rarest at least in my area, is toffee, which is even rarer than the xpressos. the description says everybody knows some of the best coffee comes from the kona side of the big island of hawaii. well i didnt know that, and i honestly dont think the source of the coffee makes a big difference, its how you roast it and what you add to it. i dont really know what to expect from this, but if the awesome looking can with tikis and palm trees are any indication, this will be great.



smell: wow thats strong for a java monster. there is a very bold coffee scent, but also that pseudo liquor smell that irish blend has.



taste: well of all the java monsters this one tastes the most like coffee, and GOOD coffee too. i like the strong coffee taste, mixed with some sort of chocolate. honestly loca moca should taste like this instead of being the exact same thing as mean bean.



kick: not jittery, but very long lasting. got me through an entire day of walking without getting the slightest bit tired. although after it wore off my feet were in pretty damn bad shape and i didnt even notice.



overall: buy a palette! this is one of the better java monsters, with a great kick too. you caqn actually taste the coffee in this one, which is something that cant be said about most java monsters. this is the 3rd best, with second being hammer xpresso, and first being irish blend. this tastes like how loca moca should taste, and that is very good.

super chill ginger ale

having recently bought an iphone 5, you may notice a sharp increase in quality of the picures compared to the old ones i took with the crappy 3g camera. unfortunately, i already have a ton of other reviews written, and to get the better quality pictures i have to either find the soders again and take a picture, or get one off google. getting to back to the soder, chill is a variety of cheap dollar store sodas, which are often sold at shaws but i have never seen them anywhere else. this is super chill, and from what i can tell is no different in any way from the rest of the flavors. being a generic brand soder, this naturally uses corn syrup. i feel kind of sick today so i figured today would be a good time to drink this since ginger is good for that. people usually think generic soders are really crappy, but honestly they are often just as good if not better then their more expensive counterparts. a great example is shasta or rip it.

smell: regular old ginger ale, but maybe a bit sweeter.

taste: not bad. this is a pretty good ginger ale, although not as good as vernors which i expected. there is very little ginger taste, which to me is not a bad thing, but not a great thing either. i would probably rather drink this than most ginger beers just because of how spicy they are though.

overall: try a can! not bad, but pretty much your average nondescript ginger ale but a little bit better. its super cheap so i reccommend it.
