hello everyone this is energy crisis the
energy drink report
well hello ladies and gentlemen and
everyone watching
this is energy crisis the energy drink
report i am your host the report of the
week
uh two things number one for those of
you i guess right three things
number one
this is an energy drink review
and because i
i have a different kind of name series
going for energy drinks
i call these the energy crisis reviews
and i do so few of them nowadays that
um it's a name that we don't hear too
often but just like the food reviews i
call those running on empty that's where
the famous tagline running on empty
thing comes from but
whenever i review an energy drink i kind
of say this is energy crisis the energy
drink report and you can find that from
a lot of the old videos and
as proof i guess of that claim
uh secondly my voice i
i know i might sound like something else
but
something else i don't know what but
um
yeah i'm sick i'm not feeling well i i
had a sore throat last week
i thought to myself well maybe it was
just you know i was moving a lot of
boxes around and stuff i thought well
maybe it was just low humidity and a lot
of the dust and got in the throat and
maybe
maybe that did me in but a week later i
feel a lot worse
and this last 24 hours i've just been
kind of
i've literally just been laying down for
the last 24 hours straight pretty much
and
i figure this is the best i'm gonna feel
so i'm just gonna get up get some work
done and get a video out for you all
and finally uh what i'm wearing this is
just a blanket
um i it would be cool if i was wearing
like an inverness cape or something you
know
and uh you could say i'm bringing back
the cape for 2018 but i'm not this is
just a blanket and i'm just wearing that
to keep warm
but otherwise it's the usual regalia
so that enough
i guess as they say if you if you wanted
to know where you could uh i don't know
cop such a sick fit
um
just you know go to go to the closet or
something grab a blanket and just drape
it over and there you go you'll be
styling like old review bras
anyway i'm not feeling well i'm i've got
a sore throat i'm trying to keep warm so
what's a better thing to review than
just a nice cold beverage
straight out of the refrigerator
but it's true this is a monster energy
drink and it was cool enough to the
extent
this is in the metaphorical sense now
uh that i thought to myself i'm gonna
bring back the series for this one
monster hydro tropical thunder number
one comes in this nice little
see-through can like so which i think is
pretty cool i've never seen a monster
like that
number two monster hydro apparently what
they're
they're doing because they're just
running out of ideas otherwise they said
all right uh we got to make caffeinated
water and we've got to find a way for it
to work that's exactly what they're
doing here so monster hydro it's
caffeinated water with a little bit of a
flavor to it you know think of all the
things like the vitamin water
sobe life water
now monsters trying to enter the game
they're saying look we're monster
we're bigger than everyone we're better
than everyone we could do it better than
you and look at this it's monster hydro
it's got a cool a cool name it's got a
cool aesthetic you could see through it
i mean how much more awesome can it get
that's what they're saying at least
nutrition facts
serving size 16.9 fluid ounces
so you're getting a little bit more
usually the cans you know is a little
less but
one serving per container so you're just
expected to down this hall whether you
like it or not just one serving that's
it gotta deal with it
100 calories per serving
23 grams of sugar
zero grams of protein
contains vitamin b3 b6 other ingredients
include filtered water sugar glucose
tyrion citric acid sodium citrate etc
etc
caffeine from all sources 125 milligrams
per bottle consume responsibly not
recommended for children people
sensitive caffeine pregnant women and
women who are nursing
so in this 125 milligrams of caffeine
now the best thing
that i'll try and read as dramatically
as possible
even considering how my voice is
water world
70 of earth is covered in water
you got bottled water from mountains
glaciers virgin springs
tropical islands and the arctic
there's mineralized fortified ionized
electrified ph balanced triple filtered
blah blah blah
what's the point
you gotta hydrate every day so you might
as well enjoy a boost while you're at it
i see where they're going with this
incredible
monster hydro non-carbonated lightly
sweetened with natural flavors to make
it thirst quenching and easy drinking we
added just enough of that
monster magic
to get you fired up
the container is cool too just don't
call it water
hydrate the beast
and the usual stuff right there
disgusting fingernails etc etc
all right we'll just open it up comes
with a blue opener this time around
i'm gonna
pour it into a pilsner glass right here
used to call it i'll never forgive
myself for this one i used to call it
the dilsa glass
i just didn't know any better
here you want to see it get poured
that's fine i don't blame you
all right well
there it is
kind of see me through it there it's
pretty cool
that's what it looks like you can see
it's non-carbonated it's uh
translucent to some degree
um
of course same color
as it was in here
this is orange
so actually i do see some light
light carbonation
i don't think you can see it but
maybe you can't i doubt it i have my
doubts
this isn't gonna work
nah forget it there's some very mild
carbonation at the top the mild mild
carbonation
very citrusy scent
that's all that i could pretty much say
about it so now we're just going to try
it out
this is monster
hydro tropical thunder tropic thunder
it smells very citrusy to me i expect a
similar taste therefore so monster
hydrotropic thunder going in
hmm
not a fan
no
i'm not feeling it ladies and gentlemen
oh yeah no i've never done that before
i'm not gonna break precedent over this
i'm not a fan i'll tell you that
outright
no
nope
i don't have a ton to talk about on this
because uh
you know with food especially
there's so much in it you know you can
say well
it's got so many uh so many sauces and
and the meat is like this and that and
it goes this way and that
as for a drink
they go for a particular flavor and i
either get it or they don't
and
monster you know they usually do a good
job
they usually do a good job not this time
it's water you know it's
when they're trying to make it watery
um
it's going to be tough to kind of
conceal the bitterness of the caffeine
they certainly tried they tried their
best
you know it is it's it's it's very
watery you know there's no tug no
resistance it's really non-carbonated
um
you know it's it's as i said very watery
it's like a sports drink you know you've
had a sports drink it kind of tastes
like that
and uh
well that's fine you know it's kind of
what they market it as so where's the
issue you know what does it taste
citrusy you know it has a nice little
citrus flavor not the strongest but it's
it's there
the issue comes when they try to conceal
the caffeine because mind you caffeine
is a very bitter bitter tasting
substance
and these drinks you know they try their
best they try their hardest to to mask
it and the ones that do are usually the
best ones out there because it doesn't
taste like you're drinking a caffeinated
beverage but this one on the other hand
um
for whatever reason it's i just can't
they can't do it
extremely bitter extremely extremely
bitter reminds me back when i was a kid
i i when i wasn't feeling well like
today i would sometimes have to take the
liquid you know
um cough medicines or whatever they had
this terrible bitterness to them like
the synthetic you know fruit flavor with
this terrible bitterness to them this is
what it reminds me of i can't help it
that's what it reminds me of
so
it's unfortunate i wouldn't i would
avoid it i wouldn't get it just too
bitter for my likings there's so many
monsters out there that are good too
you can't get any of the other ones
really you know i know i know you want
to get the sports drink monster with the
cool the cool little bottle here and you
get it it was cheap it was two bucks
standard price
but i'd avoid it just get the green
monster
um what's everyone's favorite though the
white can you know everyone likes the
white can right we can't can't give that
one enough praise um i like monster
import that's my favorite i always go
for the import one that's that one is
perfect in my opinion my opinion um
that's what i usually go for but just
get anyone except for this i'm not a fan
of it
um
it's always the worst when they can't
conceal that bitterness and it ruins the
whole flavor it's not enjoyable 6.0 out
of 10 rating therefore um
on a final note my voice says kind of
given out and i could just feel my
throats kind of you know it was getting
better when i when i started this but
all the talking was just doing too much
so i'm gonna call the video a wrap at
this point um on a final note
