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!

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.

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!
BrieBreakdance on 2009-11-06 09:51:52 said:
Monster Energy XXL Is Amazing! i love it

holly & carrisa on 2009-09-29 09:17:55 said:

monster energy drink is the best in the whole world.
Haydee on 2009-07-13 12:30:08 said:
how much caffeine does this drink have? edited by Jason: Energy Fiend reports that Monster Energy contains 160mg of caffeine per 16oz. drink...and a load of sugar...tisk, tisk
Kevin on 2009-07-09 04:14:52 said:
monster energy drink is the only one i'll ever drink because it gets me goin whenever i need it. the bigger cans just make my day even better.
Mitch K. on 2009-06-16 15:39:29 said:
It's like Monster grew a bigger sak and finally put this savage brew into a can that can accommodate anyone's needs. I love monster and this is even better. Size does matter
The Procrastination on 2009-05-07 13:59:44 said:
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.
Energy Drink lover on 2008-07-29 16:46:28 said:
I love the taste, really energizing, and at a fair price. Unbeatable and unbelievable!
stanley on 2008-07-22 08:41:16 said:
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.
Harry on 2008-05-14 16:40:40 said:
Nobody in your Middle School should be drinking this. Anyway, it's my favorite energy drink, it's Monster or nothing for me.
shaekins!! on 2008-05-06 15:40:10 said:
monsters are the crunkest drink ever. it gives me the energy i need to get me threw the day an then some more. lol i'am only allowed one a week, but i always find some way to get more. today is 5/6/08 an i had three back to back this morning. an ive been wired all day long. i feel so good an i feel as if i can do anything!

happy tree friends on 2008-05-06 12:24:33 said:

Shawn on 2008-05-01 10:35:04 said:
Monster Energy keeps me going through a very tiring day of fast food work and boring school....I have absolutely no clue what i would do if I did not have Monster to keep me alive....THANKS HANSEN NATURAL BEVERAGE COMPANY!!!!

Wow, like everyone in my middle school is addicted to this energy drink; its like not even that good. psh. i like arizona iced tea better ;]

Monster energy drink is very good. It gives me a great boost and energy all day. Also great tasting
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.
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...
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
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!
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.
You dnt need to kno on 2008-04-02 11:22:52 said:
Monster is the greatest energy drink in the world! And that's all you need to know.
danielito828 on 2008-03-27 13:15:25 said:
monster energy is the best man!!!!!!!!!!! everybody at my high school drinks it! nothing else, maybe just a red bull here and there but thats it. lol green is the best. and whenever i drink it i get like energy for about 2-3 hours but i dont crash after.
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!!!!!!!!
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.
someone on 2008-03-25 19:08:23 said:
the original monster is an epic fail. (not that the spin-offs aren't great.)
Jay on 2008-03-25 00:44:30 said:
Monster energy will kill you if you people keep drinking so many like you do...200+ colories in a can and people wonder why you cant lose weight...horrible! not even consider a energy drink

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..
Shannon on 2008-03-08 00:17:04 said:
I drank a Monster Energy at a friends house and i passed out after i finished it. i was so hyper and i was jumping around and everything, than out of no where i just collapsed. it was awesome lol

I'm addicted...lol! And I don't mind it! Monster Energy is my sin. I drink 2 a day on average. Has a distinct flavor.
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.
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.
Ashley on 2008-02-05 07:50:26 said:
Well i love the drink i chug it because its good if u haven't tried it your missing out! I LOVE IT
Tim on 2008-02-04 20:29:19 said:
What can I say, it's Monster!!! Good energy, flavor, and no aftertaste.
blake on 2008-01-28 13:45:48 said:
i drink a monster each day at work....not because im addicted its because of my love for them and also it gives good energy.
Kyle H on 2008-01-26 13:36:40 said:
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.

Monster Energy XXL made Me Sick lol...Jolt is the only energy drink i get a buzz from
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.
mollly axt on 2007-12-19 09:05:49 said:
omg. monster is seriously like the gretest thing ever. like omg omg omg omg omg seriously. i drink them every day. anyone who thinking about trying one, haha you'll get addicted. but its good. I've actually lost weight since i've started drinking them. idk why but ah there so good yayayay
robin lewis on 2007-12-12 23:55:00 said:
monster is the worlds beastiest energy drink. I just cant get enough of the flavor. the energy kick was also great.
Brandon on 2007-11-29 15:29:09 said:
I think this is good. I always get the green Monster energy, and 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
