Hello everyone, this is energy crisis
The energy drink report. I think I kind of did the finger swipe a little early, but we're just gonna go with it
We're just gonna say hey, this isn't running on empty or is one person said Ron Van empty, but it's running on empty
most of the time this is energy crisis the energy drink report the energy drink review series and
When we're back or back at it again. Hope you're doing okay. Hope you're having a good enough day anyway, and
Here we are with another video another review
So here that we got going for you today number one
I don't know if it says to me. Let me just take a look at this one. No, all right
I thought one of the light bulbs or something from one of the lights that I had here was making some noise
But I don't know. I think it's just I think it's all right. No big deal. So here we got
This drink. I don't know if I've tried it before next
Here's the thing, even though I do a lot of the food videos now, even though I've done lots of the food reviews
Back in the day. I'm talking years ago. I used to review tons of energy drinks
I'm so many so I sometimes I'll just lose count. But here's the thing
Even if I had tried this drink before I have no recollection of it whatsoever
So even if I try it out this Java monster drink, I don't remember it. I mean I know nothing about it
it's like, you know, my memory was just wiped, you know, and
It's like we're starting from scratch so it's all good either way, but hope you're doing okay
and yeah, a lot of people have been recommending they want to say hey, um
You know got any energy drink reviews I do we'll give this one a shot
So this is a Java monster energy. Drink everyone likes to monster drinks. I do too. It's probably my favorite line up. Java monster
Mean bean, okay, so it's not the friendly bean line up, but it's the mean bean
When I went and got this drink
I kept asking the cashier I kept saying do they have the kind being one? You just looking at me the whole time?
Not like that, but they go there's the monster claw right those are kind of like my little claws here
You know going like that
Yeah, Java monster
All right. So, what's the big deal about Java monster? What makes it so different from you know, your standard monster energy drink?
So the big selling point is that this is supposed to be more of like a coffee esque drink
you know how a lot of the energy drinks are just kind of like
Like a soda type drink highly carbonated very sugary. Very sweet
It's very synthetic granted. This is supposed to be more along the lines of drinking
You know, you're a cafe latte right as they say
Mean bean Java monster. Let's check these nutritional facts serving sizes eight fluid ounces two servings per container
So roughly sixteen
Fifteen fluid ounces actually, so they lied when I'm about to. All right. Now they told you the truth. I jumped the gun their
calories per can
220
Let's see what else it's got. Some of the ingredients are brewed coffee. See there you go. It's very coffee esque
condensed skim milk sugar heavy cream
glucose starring sodium citrate natural flavors
Microcrystalline cellulose
panax, ginseng extract and
That's you know, those are some of the main ingredients your energy blend. Of course again, many similar things glucose towering panax ginseng extract caffeine
um
guarana, extract - and Osito
So, let's see caffeine from all sources, this is what we want to see this is the big the big guns
200 milligrams of caffeine per can consume responsibly not recommended for children
people sensitive to caffeine pregnant women or women who are nursing
Shake gently. Alright, so we're gonna have to shake this up
see look
Let me tell you something. This is a multi-faceted drink right from the start
because and this is let me just say this is the genius of
Marketing, okay
because what all companies know is
That they want to have that level of gratification up. They're gonna make you work for this
so you're gonna sit there doing a workout and
Then you know you're gonna think that it's it's it's great either way because you're working for this you're doing all this
Of course, you're gonna really want
You're really gonna want that that reward for it. You did a nice work out. Whatever
Or maybe some of the drink can settle to the bottom and you just gotta stir it up
Maybe that's what it is. But who knows? Who knows? Maybe we're on to them?
Java monster
Here's the little inscription that I love reading
No foam extra hot
hot - CAF
No whip soy latte
Enough of the coffeehouse and BS already it's time to get out of the line and step up - what's next?
Java monster
premium coffee and cream brewed up with killer flavor
Supercharged with monster energy blend coffee done the monster way wide open and take
No prisoners
Attitude and the experience and know how to back it up
Wide open I
Was just thinking of a bad joke. I was just gonna say next time I go get a coffee
I should try and order it wide open
$2.00 surprise for this dollar ninety-nine two dollars. Alright. Well, what did they say again? Shake gently. This is gonna be a coffee flavored
monster
Gently I guess this is this good and gently back and forth
Stir it up a bit there, too
Guess that's good enough raining. It was gentle fairly gentle now. It's gonna explode everywhere. I'm sure but let's see. Alright
java, monster mean bean
Hey, you know what, you know, what look I got a little bit on my finger there, but nothing anywhere else so
Still a success in my book
Just try to be careful there see look we averted disaster and we got even a little bit of a spectacle opening it
No biggie doesn't bother me
Wash right off
Alright so here's how it's gonna go
I'm just gonna drink it but you know what, it tastes like and then we're just gonna stop the camera and um
I'll just check in, you know over the next couple hours and but you know how the effectiveness is
So mean bean Java monster going in
And I should also mention the aroma is very much like a coffee very coffee esque
What this reminds me of
It does have that coffee type flavor to it
Where you definitely really you do taste?
This is very resemblance to coffee, but it's not like you're getting coffee
Let's say black right where it's just that it's got that
Almost bitterness to it. It's not like that at all
as a matter of fact, this would be like if you got a coffee and you put tons of sugar in it and
tons of milk or cream in it
Stirred it up real good and I'm talking like tons. Probably more milk than there is coffee, right?
That's what it tastes like really when you want to compare it to that now
I remember it kind of brings me back to when I was first know when I get coffee
You know, I always get it with some cream or some sugar or something
But when I was first drinking it this is going back years
I remember the first time I ever tried coffee was so bitter right? I couldn't get over it was
Right. So I
put tons of sugar in it and tons and tons of milk to try to get rid of that bitterness and
I hopefully still get that little bit of a pick-me-up
Now that's what it reminds me of where it's just like the flavor is very basic. It's like a coffee
Definitely has that
I'm just it does taste like um
like coffee there, but the thing is that the biggest thing that I notice is just how
How sweet it is and how like milky
Creamy it is
that's what I notice the most but again a very pronounced sweetness a
very pronounced again
You know just like creaminess to it
That's exactly what I noticed. It is not as I would define strong at all doesn't have any sort of like
Like a strong coffee. It's not like that. It's like a very very light coffee. It's the exact opposite
So if you like drinking your coffee black no sugar nothing straight up. I
Don't think you're gonna be a big fan of the way it tastes
But if you like maybe even getting like various lattes or some of those specialties where we get some cream or some sugar
Milk or whatever
Then I think you'll be more impartial to this. So it's up to you
Definitely a bit of an alternative to some various coffee type drinks, but this is monsters variant still tastes pretty good
But now we're gonna see what the effectiveness is. So I check in again
In a little while, okay
So I'm just checking in now with a final report
Because what I originally wanted to do is I wanted to kind of make it like we're you know
I'm checking in after thirty minutes or an hour two hours at however long it was but I ran into some technical
Issues couldn't really do that. So
Instead it's it's been about
It's been about seven hours I'd say since I drank the the monster down and here's what I noticed
So I'd seem like thirty minutes after I tried it right away
I noticed this is this boost and energy, you know, like of course, I'll take a little while to set in
But about thirty minutes later, I noticed that initial boost was definitely more alert was definitely more
I would say energized and
It was it was very much apparent. Like I can tell that it had an effect
So, I mean it came on pretty quick and it was it was really noticeable
So I kind of got set up did some work with them my podcast
Which heck for the for the sake of it?
You want to find that you can you can go to youtube.com/vorwpodcast It's a show
I just do for fun, but I'm
recorded some of that did some audio editing then I got to some writing some emails manage a channel a bit and
I had this boost of energy for probably I'd say like maybe 2 or 3 hours
But then it came on quick and it was there for a little bit and then it kind of just dropped off not gradually
but like really
really quick
It was like I was energized
I was I had this boost I was doing all this work and
Then all of a sudden I notice I'm yawning again and I realized oh gosh. Yeah
Well, I guess it's already it's already wearing off. So effectiveness wise it's effective but in the short term
So this isn't one of those things that's gonna keep you going all day
But if you like that kind of milder coffee taste and I just need that real short-term boost
Something to keep you going for like I would say 2 or 3 hours
Just to get you through whatever it is that you know, you're looking to get through
Then that's what I would recommend
So that's the effectiveness us out of ten. I would just give it a seven out of ten flat
Because taste-wise it's pretty good not. Yes. It would apply to just again a particular
You know, you have to have that interest in that certain type of flavor
But it's pretty good for what it is and again effectiveness. It's effective
I wish the effectiveness was a little longer, but it was still decent for what it is
That's all that I have for you
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your hosts the report of the week, and this is the energy crisis energy drink review. Thank you and take care
