It says it is almost as sweet as sucrose but doesn’t have the calories and it also apparently doesn’t cause tooth decay? That sounds pretty great actually. So it is a type of sugar alcohol that’s actually found in some fruits. It seems their choice of sweetener is erythritol. There seems to be way less stuff in this compared to base Monster. RED 40 CHAS RAD APPROVED! KIDS OFF THE WALLS! I mean, the whole can would be 200% in the B Vitamin department, but isn’t like regular Monster 200% per serving and then like 400% per can? Yep! just checked my post on base Monster and it’s 200% per serving.Ĭarbonated water, erythritol, citric acid, taurine, sodium citrate, natural and articficial flavors, l-carnitine l-tartrate, caffeine, sorbic acid, sucralose, benzoic acid, niacinamide, d-calcium pantothenate, acesulfame potassium, salt, red 40, pyridoxine hydrochloride, blue 1, cyanocobalamin. Hey, let’s move to the nutrition facts and ingredients.Ġ calories. Oh yeah, it has that government warning about people sensitive to caffeine. If they are going to lean on the tartness of grape rather than a more sweet taste of grape, then it might be able to make a good balance with the artificial sweeteners. I think this has a good chance in tasting not bad. I’m drinking pixie dust am I? Will I be able to fly like Peter Pan? It describes its flavor as “sweet and tart pixie dust…powered with our Monster Energy Blend.” Interesting. I do get a sorta Hendrix kind of feel with it. It basically says that this is influenced by the 70’s funk scene. Is there some sort of testimonial on the back? Let’s see.
