well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone watching i'm your host the report of the week
i know this is a bit of a strange uh introduction because this is being made
obviously very um i don't know very hastily i suppose i just realized as i was going through
the video there's a very important i guess clarification that needs to be made just that
and i think in the review you'll see me making some references to the holidays and stuff
uh this review was filmed in december of 2020 of course here we are in january 2021 so that's
why you know it's not like you know the energy drinks are just making my my brain just completely
self-implode or something that's all the video was filmed about a month ago but the review still
stands it's still perfectly valid and that's all that there is to it so uh buckle in sit back relax
and let's take a little trip back in time to our favorite year 2020. let's do this hello everyone
this is energy crisis the energy drink report well here we are welcome one and all here we are

you might be saying well what is it what is going on exactly do you have
a bright festive campfire going on is the sun coming up is the sun going down what exactly
is going on well i'm filming this one at uh sundown because i am a creature of the night
um but i am doing an energy drink review to keep me energized to keep me going and uh yeah here we
are i've gotten a lot of requests for this energy drink and i thought to myself well now's the time
to do it it was released about a month ago and uh i was thinking to myself well is the time
right to do it i think it is now let me ask you a question when it comes down to the holiday season
what do you think of what do you think of when you think of just this time of year all the holidays
the dawning of a new year what comes to mind is it watermelons because that's what monster
energy has in store for you that's right monster is um bringing in the holiday season right here
with their uh ultra watermelon energy drink uh it is part of their uh i guess you know their ultra
lineup which is very popular again i got a lot of requests for this one so uh this is what it
is this drink they're saying just has uh you know zero sugar zero calories um it's supposed to i
guess just be a you know a healthier so to speak alternative to uh some of their other other drinks
if you still want that energy boost but they say that this i guess has watermelon flavor to it
uh you can see though they have a festive looking can i guess it's supposed to resemble
a watermelon but you know you can also see that you can say well it has the holiday red and green
colors and some fireworks to celebrate the fact that we're finally getting close to getting out
of this here and that's what we've got monster energy ultra watermelon uh here's a little bit
of description again on the top here it says zero sugar l-carnitine taurine in it um we're
going to see how good this tastes also going to see the effectiveness of this now uh reading the
uh description here on the can says this contains no fruit juice uh what actually doesn't have zero
calories it has 10 calories but still look 10 calories is pretty good all things considered
but it does have zero grams of fat uh zero grams of sugar other ingredients include
carbonated water citric acid atari natural flavors sodium citrate Panax ginseng flavor
l-carnitine l-tartrate caffeine sorbic acid so on and so forth lots of these ingredients in there
caffeine content what we want to um know 150 milligrams of caffeine per can not recommended of
course for children people sensitive to caffeine pregnant women or women who are nursing of course

the firework lit night sky you've got your crush by your side with good music and better friends
it's the best summer ever ultra watermelon is summertime in a can you can enjoy it at any time
zero sugar easy drinking refreshing flavor with the explosive monster energy blend to
light up those summer nights unleash the ultra beast you might say well what's wrong with you
review brah why are you laughing like some sort of sick maniac right now
i'm kind of laughing because the time that this was released what time of the year it is right
now and uh what's going on i mean it's just kind of funny i've been getting all of these requests
here i was thinking that maybe this is like i was thinking watermelon you know that is
an odd flavor to release this time uh and here we are you know approaching new year
the end of january and the summertime drink everyone's favorite summertime drink
i don't know maybe this is one of those things like you know you're sitting there
with a snowstorm raging outside and you want to transport yourself to a better place right now
like maybe those folks on that plane are and um you know so you're just going to close
your eyes drink down or guzzle down the ultra watermelon monster and you know envision that
you know you're at the park on uh you know enjoying a nice barbecue or something who's to say
we know what's in it we know that it's just supposed to taste like watermelon i imagine
so we shall pour it out now um although first i'll get a thumbnail shot
you know something like um something like this right i'm you know showing off the goods there
we'll get a thumbnail at one point or another but let's open this up
pour it out i know my pouring skills are dismal but it's the thought that counts
a whole cans worth
keep that there for clout looks like i'm drinking a glass of nice blood
that i always do to keep me energized to begin with you know vampire joke and all uh you can
see the carbonation though some good bubbles rising and uh there we go watermelon drink so uh
just going to take a sip or two see how it tastes and then what i'm going to do is um
of course to taste effectiveness you kind of have to give it some time so then it will reconvene now
in a couple hours and we'll figure out well does this do anything does it not we'll go
from there so let's just see how good of a drink this is monster energy ultra watermelon going in
take one more sip
not bad not bad uh there isn't too much to say about this one because i think that it's
pretty it's pretty straightforward now i mean given the fact that it is not freezing cold
you know right now i mean i'm comfortable you know long sleeves with a suit
and um and all but definitely it's not like 100 degrees outside or anything
i would say that you could drink this drink at any time although you know it is i would
say a drink that would work better in warmer weather that's why i was kind of
confused of the watermelon flavor that's i would have expected this drink to really be
at least heavily promoted maybe around you know april may you know as the weather begins to warm
so that's just one thing um but it's very straightforward it's very it's very to the
point it still has that sweetness of course from the artificial sweeteners although you
can't really a lot of the time these artificial sweeteners you know they have that it's like sweet
and sugary but it's not it has that off type of of flavor but this just has a regular sweetness
very watermelony that's all i can say it's refreshing i think that's what i'm trying to say
it's cool it's refreshing very much like watermelon with a good hint of sweetness some nice
carbonation to it as well again i know i poured it how i poured it i am no skilled bartender but
all things considered i think it's just it's it's basic it's straightforward they said that it was
going to taste like watermelon and it does uh it's certainly a refreshing watermelon flavored drink
definitely to the point there's no frills no surprise is good or bad but again sometimes it's
a good thing it's like all right i really like watermelon i just want to get a drink that tastes
like watermelon and gives me energy well guess what you're in luck monster has you covered there
so knowing what we know now we're going to reconvene and we're going to see the effectiveness
a bit later on so i'm just going to guzzle this down and then i'll let you know how i'm feeling
see you all in a bit all right so just checking in on a final update in terms of the effectiveness
of the drink uh it's been a good number of hours i'd say like seven or eight uh since i
took it uh here's this very very quickly um it sets in quick as long as you you know down it
that 150 milligrams of caffeine it does it kicks in real quick and it keeps you going
for a few hours the one thing i noticed this time around is that there was a definite crash i mean
i'm tired i mean usually i have difficulty falling asleep but i feel like right now
if i put my head to the pillow i'm gonna be i'm gonna be going to sleep pretty soon
um so there is a crash this time around i think that just happens from time to time um
but i would say if you like watermelon you want a short term short term is i think the thing to
pay attention to here a short term energy boost that you know might last a few hours but then
wear off pretty quickly after that um and this might be the drink for you again
i'd say you know be a fan of watermelon to get the full experience and uh get the most out of it
price for it was three bucks so uh all said and done considered i mean i'll give it a uh a seven
point zero flat out of ten you know again it's a uh it's a basic drink straightforward and uh
efficacy i mean it's somewhat effective but again not the longest lasting drink i've seen
so with that that's all that i have for you ladies and gentlemen i'm your host the report of the
week and today's review was for the monster energy ultra watermelon thanks and take care
