Available at: BP Charlotte, NC Ratings: Combined Reviewer Rating:   9.5 out of 10

It's like Monster, only bigger. I've always found the "green" monster a little on the thick side. When it's extra-cold, it goes down pretty smoothly, when it's not, it's like chugging maple syrup, and when they get that syrup in them, they get all antse in the pantsy. At 300 calories, this is reasonably sized snack or lite lunch, and enough fluid that you don't want to guzzle it down before a long drive, or 4 hour lecture, unless you plan on taking frequent potty breaks. Without a doubt, it's energizing, the sugar alone makes you spaz out like bobcats on booze. The value is very good, compare this to a dinky can of red bull for $2, forget about it. This is the most energy you can get for $3.

The original Monster will always be my favorite. It has everything in perfect proportion. Perfect flavor, heavy on the syrup, and just enough carbonation. The 16 oz can has always been enough for me, but now that there is the 23.5 oz can, that's all changed and only for a dollar extra. It's almost three times the size of a Red Bull. Bigger is better! If you chug down the Monster as fast as I do, that's definitely a bonus. You may want to have a quick snack before partaking in the XXL because it will give you the hand shakes. Cheers!

Per serving it contains the same as the 16oz Monster but just for the fun, this can contains 3000mg taurine, 600mg ginseng, 7500mg energy blend - caffeine, guarana, l-carnitine, and inositol.
Can Text:
The Monster XXL can is awe inspiring. When you see it you almost have to take a second to realize that no one is there to cue the angelic harp music. At nearly 24oz you'll never look at those 8oz energy drinks the same way. It raises the bar in the energy drink industry. The can is all black with the Monster logo in bright, electric green. The simplicity of the can design is great. The XXL font reminds me of the superbowl.
As with the Bookoo drinks, riding in a car is awkward, if your cup holder is big enough to hold the bottom, it's so top-heavy when it's full, it wants to turn over. Or, in compact cars, often the cup holders are mounted under the radio/air condition controls, and the can is too tall to fit under.

i love monster they are really cool i tried all of them and i like rockstar too whoooo!!!!!!
Vince on 2011-07-08 16:29:49 said:
If you're a Mountain Dew dude, this is a great fit for you to step into energy drinks. Though not exactly the same flavor, it's close enough to enjoy. The best flavor of all the Monsters IMO, and much better than any of the others I've had.
Lathrop on 2011-05-06 14:53:09 said:
Just chugged a Monster XXL before writing this, I feel fantastic... Anyway, the taste is the best of any energy drink I've ever had, take my word- Its Pretty Fantastic. The buzz kicks in immediately after you drink it, an added bonus. No complaints here, but don't drink too much of it, as you might wake up with a european swallow in your room and an odd looking amish man standing next to your bed... Damn.
cameron on 2010-10-21 17:48:50 said:
why do people drink Monster? its unhealthy as hell! having tons of sugar in your system does not help you. Even soda is better than this. it's nothing but sugar. Edited by Jason: Well, nothing except sugar, caffeine, ginseng, b-vitamins and taurine...but, yes, like you said. "Even soda is better than this". You don't sound ignorant at all. SRSLY
William on 2010-10-08 13:12:22 said:
Two main reasons why I love monster: the taste, and its image.
The flavor of Monster is hard to place, it's very distinctive and when cold is absolutely delicious. First breaking into the can gets me very excited, and the fact the normal cans are 16oz means you can take properly sized sips - this gets you a full hit of the taste, I haven't had this huge variant yet but I can imagine it's even better,
Normally I don't down it all at once, having it on hand when I'm wandering out is perfect. I've noticed after warming up the taste changes completely from a smooth, delicate flavour to a sludgy mess that irritates your throat. I'd guess it's meant to be had quickly, but the warmer the temperature the quicker this is going to happen.
Overall, the energy boost is great and surpasses a lot of other things I've seen. Monster seem to take the energy content pretty seriously, which explains the consistency of it over the other types; whereas the taste can fall considerably. Combined with the claw logo, sponsoring extreme sports and musicians, and the general "attitude" of the brand makes it just that bit better to know you're drinking Monster.
yurr mama on 2010-09-30 12:07:50 said:
i think monster drinks are very tasty but bad for you. Edited by Jason: What about bacon? ice cream? coca-cola? orange juice? I'm starting to feel like Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" defending the Red Ryder BB Gun.
PowerKingen on 2010-09-24 12:53:02 said:
I wonder why it has become so popular among the people??... hehe xD I don't like the flavor, but the logo is cool... well, I give it +++ cause the popularity and because alot of extreme sport athletes drinks it and have Monster as a sponsor :)
Dennis on 2010-09-23 14:18:24 said:
With Monster, you can get two loads of laundry done, yer apartment cleaned up, and two loads of dishes cleaned. But a few hours later, you sit on the toilet with watery diarrhea, two or three times. Have Immodium tablets on hand!!!!!!
Shugha on 2010-09-15 12:32:18 said:
I like the new capped can for monster on the monster import. The idea is awesome!
oteo on 2010-08-31 16:02:33 said:
Seriously Monster is my favorite tasting energy drink to date. I'd give it a 9.5/10 for taste. It gives me a moderate amount of energy, maybe a 6 or a 7, nothing extremely noticeable anyway. I just drink it for the taste lol.

Seriously green monster is my favorite tasting energy drink to date. I'd give it a 9.5/10 for taste. It gives me a moderate amount of energy, maybe a 6 or a 7, nothing extremely noticeable anyway. I just drink it for the taste lol.
erin calgary canada on 2010-08-02 15:17:42 said:
GREEN MONSTERS are the best drink ever. love the rush. everyone who doesn't like them keep ur opinions to urself cause us monster drinkers love the monsters .. they are tasty (im a chronic drinker and when i crash i could be beaten up, by a 4 year old) lol but ill never stop drinking them . ill be well into my 70's still buying Monster.
DuGgY on 2010-07-19 17:05:05 said:
dude monster XXL is the bomb. I got a buzz within 60 seconds and i was good for the day.
Lauren on 2010-07-05 16:40:36 said:
I like the Nitrous Monster the best. I don't really like the regular green monster because it's really thick. Amp has been my favorite energy drink for a while now but once I tasted Nitrous Monster, I AM NEVER GOING BACK! I have at least 1 every few days if I can, I'm so poor.
Nelly on 2010-06-30 13:35:24 said:
Monster energy drinks aren't good as some might say they are but believe it or not it can cause many side effects that lead to death. i've drank one and i felt a slight shock pain in my chest which does't lead me good health now after a talk with my doctor. don't let the flovar fool your taste bugs, plus it's way expensive! Edited by Jason: Is there some sort of smear campaign (involving no statistics/science/reasoning) in schools about how unhealthy energy drinks are? I'm starting to get a lot of this on the site, and personally regurgitated to me verbally. I'd be interested in debating the health ramifications of 1 monster per day compared to an order of chicken nuggets and french fries (of which most children in America probably eat 2 servings of the aforementioned per day). Lastly, "Taste bugs", LOLipops.
Wyatt on 2010-05-28 12:36:59 said:
i love monster. cheaper than red bull so i buy it. red bull is about the same rating in my opinion as far as taste goes, but its too expensive. monster owns, straight up
monstergurl1 on 2010-05-25 13:09:40 said:
ok i absoutley love monster, but everytime i drink it my head hurts after it wares off and its just not good for you. It makes people fat and lazy. Edited by Jason: In all fairness, I think being lazy can contribute to being fat, and I think Monster has little to do with people being lazy.

I'd just like to say that the original Monster will always be my favorite and, yes, bigger is better!

monster is by far the best energy drink ever made. for those that say its bad for me and that it will kill me, i could care less. im on my 2nd bfc can of today and im happy as i ever will be so if i die at least ill die a happy death
Rodney on 2010-02-18 13:40:18 said:
I myself love monster...and the XXL is not the biggest, it has 24 fluid ounces and where i'm from i can get them at 32 and 64 fluid ounces...Its great...I love monster.
ummm.. on 2010-01-14 14:49:17 said:
Sorry but I think Monster tastes horrible. Somewhere along the lines of rancid cotton candy mixed in with a 5 lb. bag of sugar. And really I don't get anything out of it. But, then again I can crank about 8 energy drinks in 3 hours or so and not feel anything. To much tolerance I guess.
Steve G. on 2009-12-29 10:26:09 said:
I tried other brands and found the "Green Monster" to be my favorite. Or as in the trade we just call it Monster Energy. I drink two 16oz cans a day and found that if I don't drink enough water that it is hard on me. SO KEEP HYDRATED !
Jon on 2009-12-11 12:58:23 said:
I have to disagree with the majority opinion. I really don't like the flavor of Monster Energy XXL. It's a bit too syrupy and sweet to be refreshing. It's good on price, though, I can't deny that. I guess personally, I'd spend the extra money for better flavor. I prefer Rockstar, Red Bull, and NOS, their flavors tend to be more refreshing.
Yarr on 2009-12-04 13:03:55 said:
I like this drink. When its cold is when it tastes the BEST. I used to have one everyday or close to it. Now i have a few a week. I love it so much. I get so hyper from drinking it. :D
mitchell winfield on 2009-11-20 12:50:34 said:
I think this energy drink is a DISGRACE to the human race and is STUPID, UNHEALTHY, AND TERRIBLE!!!!! I WOULD NEVER BUY THIS DRINK IN A MILLION YEARS!!!!!Edited by Chris: Those are some strong words Mitchell! Your use of exclamation points shows your mastery of punctuation.

i love the green monster you're only one a day but i drink up to 3 a day.. but now that i realize that they the things that give me headaches all the time.. and heart problems.. im done with them.
gretchen on 2009-11-09 13:13:22 said:
Drinking these is like drinking cough syrup. no wait actually cough syrup tastes better. sure gives u some energy but if ur a newbie into the energy drinks i strongly recommend that you DONT DRINK THIS!

Monster Energy XXL Is Amazing! i love it

Apparently only high schoolers and middle schoolers drink Monster. BTW, its bad for your kidneys.
Britain on 2009-04-27 12:48:44 said:
Sure monster is my favorite, but all you people that drink more than one a day are fricken addicts, learn to control yourselves.
Sean on 2009-04-14 16:19:37 said:
Monster is good, but its definitely not the best. I'm sure the ones saying its the best haven't even tried others and are just posting on this website to promote the drink..go out and try some others!
Caffiene_Addict on 2009-03-24 12:28:22 said:
The green monster is like wine and takes an acquired taste....but once you acquire it, there is NOOO going back. I LOVE THIS DRINK! I have between 4-6 a day....a feat that's not for beginners because i've built up a tolerance over the years....and I couldn't drink any other!!! Edited by Jason: These are exactly the type comments that cause the flood of "Are Energy Drinks Dangerous?" magazine filler articles. The danger of energy drinks is inversely proportional to the intelligence of the consumer multiplied by their desire to unsuccessfully impress others by doing asinine things.
Buh Buh on 2009-02-12 12:36:04 said:
Lol, so i have to do a paper on the dangers of energy drinks, and every time i am working on it i'm drinking a monster :). i'm addicted to them. no joke its great, except they can get on the pricey side......thank god i have a job :)!
Lovey Dovey on 2009-01-08 19:01:54 said:
Monster is so good I love it. I even spend the last of my money on it. I love drinking a lot of water so I get to drink as about 3 of the XXL monsters a day if i can. I wish I could afford my monster habit. So anytime you want to share let me know...lol...but seriously...hit me up.
cody on 2008-12-10 11:50:42 said:
alright literally there is nothing better than a monster. it has the best taste that no other energy drink has...i can say i'm addicted. they're so dang good.
Howard on 2008-11-24 11:58:57 said:
I really liked green Monster, it tastes good and kept me alert for a big test I had to write. It seemed to allow me to think a little clearer. I find it hard to believe but it worked for me.
The high schooler on 2008-11-03 00:59:09 said:
Being,on average,not very sensitive to caffeine,I really enjoy the larger Monster drinks because you get more bang for your buck.The XXL gives good energy if you chug it,but the BFC is a better value.Especially if you can find someplace that sells it for $2.99 a can like I did.The XXL is great for when you need a medium or high dose of energy,and the BFC is the fuel you need for running a marathon.The flavor is really smooth and and has just the right thickness when cold.The smell is almost overwhelmingly good,and it gives you a lot of energy to get through the day.I recommend the BFC strongly over this though,because you can get a 1 liter can for a dollar extra,or six ounces more for a dollar less.Buy Monster.Best energy drink on the planet.(Try NOS too,that'll REALLY get you going.)
jake murphy on 2008-08-25 21:49:23 said:
monster is great. i used to only drink amp. but i heard monster was good and now i ditched amp. but people please consume this in moderation. my sister knows someone who almost died because he had eight of them. lol what an idiot.

i drank 3/4 of a Monster XXL last night to stay awake to drive a few hours home, and i now have a worse hangover from it. i would not recommend this to anyone with low tolerance for anything. this is the worst morning of my life.....so far
person on 2008-07-08 02:43:57 said:
it's good but i think they should make 8 oz cans of this cause its too sweet to drink the whole thing rockstar is way better. Edited by Jason: Monster does make 8.3oz cans.
Derrick on 2008-06-18 00:35:14 said:
The "BFC" is better then the XXL you should do a review on that.... its the biggest baddest can of monster i could find 32oz of straight MADNESSS!!!!
Derrick on 2008-06-18 00:21:01 said:
I agree with the hangover concept... drink about 6 of the regular sized cans or like 3-4 of these XXLs and you feel like a wreck in the morning
Briona on 2008-06-03 10:46:29 said:
I love the regular monster it is THE BEST!! i just had one and it was the best but after a while its hard to drink with out getting sick, i got towards the end and started to feel a little sick because it was getting warm. I like them cold because its really good like that.. Monster is the best its the only thing i know i can drink and get hyper.
Chris on 2008-06-03 08:00:39 said:
This is the same old nasty tasting, low energy providing monster, just in a bigger can. Still crap, and too expensive.

Monster and every other energy drink are a copy of Red Bull energy drink, we all know that, they try so hard to be like red bull, but that's not going to happen never ever...

Monster, in my opinion is the best energy drink. I always get it(at least 2) and I can't get enough. It is awesome!!!!!!!!
Energy Drink on 2008-03-26 15:21:51 said:
I've had this, and it is awesome. But its not the most energy anymore..they have Monster Heavy Metal and the green monster in a 32oz can now. It is also called a 'BFC' and it is awesome. It is now the most energy you can get for $3.99 a can.
