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.

Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
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.

Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
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!

Jason's Review:
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.

I think this is good. I always get the green Monster always chug it from the gas station to the ride home! have enough energy to do a project due the next day ( 10 pages of the most boring stuff ever ) then in the morning its like a hangover :/ so if u want lots of energy but a hangover in the morning then drink it and you'll have fun until the morning!! lol

Mittens on 2008-01-01 01:20:37 said:
Monster Energy is the best, not sure why this site doesn't review the 16oz. version. While the XXL is good, I usually don't need 24oz. of Monster first thing in the morning.

Monster Energy XXL made Me Sick lol...Jolt is the only energy drink i get a buzz from

Monster is the best energy drink out there!! I love it! Anyone who drinks any energy drinks in my high school only drink Monster, and sometimes Rockstar.

Ashley on 2008-02-05 07:50:26 said:

matt on 2008-02-12 17:28:05 said:
they're really good,but they're really bad if you drink them all the time because then they don't have the same kick,so i like to detox from them and drink one when i really need the energy like right before a workout.

chongtronic on 2008-02-13 08:57:25 said:
i love monster! the taste, the energy it gives me, its all just so good! oh yeah, don't drink these on an empty stomach.. you can get really weak feeling.

Jeff Redd on 2008-02-20 17:41:11 said:

ash on 2008-03-12 21:06:06 said:
I've learned alot about energy drinks over the past couple of days because I'm writing a paper on it for school and monsters were the best thing for me...one every morning and now that I've learned about them there sooo bad for you so now I don't drink them so you should read and learn about what you're actually drinking..

Jay on 2008-03-25 00:44:30 said:
Monsters will kill you if you people keep drinking so many like you do...200+ colories in a bottle and people wonder why you cant lose weight...horrible! not even consider a energy drink

someone on 2008-03-25 19:08:23 said:
the original monster is an epic fail. (not that the spin-offs aren't great.)

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.

Brittany on 2008-03-26 19:51:43 said:
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!!!!!!!!

danielito828 on 2008-03-27 13:15:25 said:

Monster is the greatest energy drink in the world! And that's all you need to know.

RFTB on 2008-04-02 18:42:52 said:
The best beverage out there. I drink about 1 a day and while the buzz isn't the biggest, the overall value, taste, and energy is. I'm hooked.

emily and shauna on 2008-04-04 21:31:28 said:
For our science fair experiment we tested out a whole crap load of energy drinks and Monster was the BEST one!

ricky on 2008-04-05 16:19:57 said:
monster is the best energy drink around but amp is close to also being the best one

Toro Rosso on 2008-04-07 21:04:13 said:
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...

Sergio on 2008-04-08 23:46:42 said:
Is it just me, or is everyone that drinks Monster fat? Too much caffeine, carbs and sugar. I would never drink this stuff. Sticking with Red Bull 8 oz.

Daniel on 2008-04-09 16:17:46 said:

Nobody in your Middle School should be drinking this. Anyway, it's my favorite energy drink, it's Monster or nothing for me.
