I like M80 way more then khoas. In my opinio khoas sucks, I don’t like the taste of it.

FYI here’s the “medicinal ingredients” as reported to CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) by the manufacturer (Pepsi):
2-aminoethylsulfonic acid (Taurine)(synthetic) 2000mg,
ginseng (panax ginseng)(root)(2% ginsenosides)400mg, Caffeine (synthtetic) 164mg, Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) 40mg, d-glucuronolactone (synthetic) 10mg, guarana (paullinia cupana)(seed)(22% caffeine) 10mg, inositol (synthetic) 10mg, Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCI) 4mg, Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) 3.4mg, Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) 12mcg.

I posted this only because the article mentions the proprietary blend, and here in Canada, companies are not allowed to hide behind that description. That’s for the M-80 by the way. I’m not sure if it varies among their different varieties as M-80 is the only one I drink. I absolutely love it’s sweet-sugary-without-sticky-feeling taste that you can’t get without sucralose (Splenda).

Unquestionably the best energy drink is the one named Monster M-80

Monster M-80 is amazing, definitly the greatest energy drink I have ever tasted, Khaos is pretty good. The ony downside to M-80 is that they don’t sell it in the giant cans

Personally, not a fan. Love Khaos and Juiced Guava, but myself and a friend agreed it tasted like piss. Not the Red Bull “icky sweet but bleh” piss, but more of a bitter, unsatisfying, “wow this could actually be piss” piss. Of course that’s just my palate, as Jason said, “it takes a refined palate to appreciate their nuances”…and I eat Chef Boyardee out of a can, for Pete’s sake. I’m sure those who enjoy tropical fruit would enjoy this more, so I think they may be shooting a bit low marketing the “M-80.”

To be honest, I love monster drinks. Im a big fan of them, but the m-80 (havent had a khaos) REALLY gave me a bad ache. It didnt give me a kick really, it just made me feel queezy and sick to my stomache, even after like 10 sips. Idk if its just be, but im not drinking anymore monster juices >_

Well, I tried this a few months ago and absolutely loved it. If you don’t like tropical fruits, you might not like it. Tropical fruit flavors are not for everyone, because it takes a refined palate to appreciate their nuances, whereas everyone and their mom in the U.S. already know and like orange juice (the main flavor of Khaos).

Personally, I would rather drink an energy drink made with fruit juice than plain ol’ water and sugar/corn syrup. I love the comment of “videoCWK”:

“It’d probably be better if it had less fruit juice in it.”

That just makes me laugh. Oh well, to each his own. For me, I love M-80 and hope it outsells Khaos (although I like them both).

I tried this the other day. The first few sips are good, but unfortunately it gets old really fast and after having nearly half the can I wanted to throw it away, but couldn’t bring myself to do it, so I held onto it a bit longer. It seemed to get warm faster than most drinks, and it’s really bad warm, so I ended up throwing it away. It’d probably be better if it had less fruit juice in it.
