IN ACQUISITION—9
Monster Energy—M-80 is sold more or less
everywhere that they sell the original. Not hard to acquire.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—9
Like the other juice-inspired/containing Monster
Energy products (Monster Energy—Khaos and Monster Energy—MIXXD), this drink
features the bolted sheet metal motif, with the Monster M in an almost radioactive yellow color. I really like this
design with the yellow; it has a cool sort of industrial look to it that the
other two juice-oriented Monster Energy beverages do not.
TASTE—9
This drink tastes a lot like a non-carbonated
Rockstar (the non-carbonation being explained by the fact that it is, per the
namesake, 80% juice…M for Monster, 80 for 80% juice…you get it), and seeing as
I love Rockstar, you can probably
imagine that I loved this drink (so that you don't get any wrong impressions…this
drink is different enough from Rockstar that it stands alone as a distinct
beverage, and is not to be esteemed as a Rockstar rip-off). A delicious
and refreshing tropical fruit juice flavored drink, this is definitely one of
the better-tasting beverages Monster Energy has put out.
KICK (INTENSITY)—7
The kick is similar to the original Monster
Energy if a bit more noticeable—in other words, not too shabby. Not
enough to get me jittery, but enough to keep me up and working without any
troubles, so the end result is to be considered more than acceptable.
KICK (DURATION)—7
The staying power of the drink is decent, and
sufficiently reliable. Drank it before helping my sister-in-law and
husband move into their new apartment, and I didn’t feel any sort of fatigue
before the job was done, some 2½, 3 hours later.
THE DRINK OVERALL—7.67
Though there are other beverages out there that
are plenty more powerful than this one, I loved the taste of this drink, and I
was not let down by the kick, so I have no reservations against recommending it
for your day-to-day energy-requiring situation. It doesn’t taste like the
rest of the Monster Energy line (!), so it’s perfect if you’re looking for
something different from their usual but esteem yourself a bit of a Monster
Energy loyalist.

This is my favourite monster, and I was extremely disappointed when I couldn't find it anywhere for like a year. Then I found the khaos a few weeks ago.. It's almost identical tasting! =)
ReplyDeleteWhy would a company call their drink M-80 boasting 80% FRUIT JUICE then continue to call it M-80 reducing the FRUIT JUICE content to 30%???!!!???
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke!!! I ordered the M-80's because of the juice content...healthier than typical energy drinks. NO LONGER THE CASE!!! Think about it...they reduced the FRUIT JUICE content by 50%...what did they replace it with? Sugar and FAKE sweeteners??? They took out the potassium, vitamin C and who knows what else. That is rotten!!!
