Hell, I’m reviewing coffee’s like someone who has an opinion that matters…….narcissist much? The world of coffee is a pretty pretentious place. I could quite easily see me picking a couple up to keep in the fridge ready for a hot day when a hot drink isn’t going to do the trick. If that’s the case, then this is perfect.Īre they going to take over the coffee world? Probably not. It could be that people want a big caffeine hit, with added “Monster Energy Blend”, tied in with a cool, creamy mix. Whilst it’s a nice taste it really detracts from the actual coffee element. In the vanilla variation, you’re almost overwhelmed with the vanilla flavouring. The coffee sits at the back of the overall flavour, with sweetness taking precedence. I mean, would you expect a company known for sugary-sweet energy drinks to deliver a decent coffee? I didn’t.ĭelivering a sweet, creamy taste, with a really enjoyable, well-rounded coffee flavour. Nicer than I had anticipated if I’m honest. It’s nice to have another option, isn’t it?īoth the drinks here are pretty nice. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth having. Much like all the chilled drinks available down the milk aisles of supermarkets, this is a cold drink, with sweetness and added milk.ĭoes it do much to separate itself from other, more established cold coffee drinks? Not really. But having a chilled coffee drink seems to be the exception to the rule, for me. I’m not a massive fan of coffee with milk in. This is quick-fire so I’ll be brief, but I tried both the standard and vanilla variations of this drink, and to be honest I was quite impressed. So, really, it shouldn’t have been a surprise really when I saw that Monster energy have created an espresso drink. Coffee is always associated with caffeine, as are energy drinks. One of these lemonades would fuck me up lmao.In my lifelong quest to try the biggest variety of coffees and coffee-based drink, I often find myself taken aback when I see some obscure beverage on sale at a supermarket. and now i really appreciate the perk of a cup of green tea or even black tea if i'm feeling daring. but i will really want to siesta in the afternoon lol. i can absolutely have days under 40 mg or even 0 mg and not get a headache or anything. i would say i'm somewhere between 50-75 mg / day, with the occasional jump up to 150 mg which feels "intense". i have been steadily weaning myself down over the last decade-i used to be a complete freakshow-and it's not easy given how prevalent it is and how we have to look shit up online to know how much is in something. i didn't even think about it until seeing this, but of course slightly-more-normal countries provide labels because it's a profoundly powerful drug. Having caffeine labels on products would blow my mind. government bar any consumers from buying ultra-caffeinated products, mandate an explicit warning label, or monitor advertisements. In the U.S., by contrast, the FDA barely regulates caffeine: It does not require manufacturers to include caffeine on the ingredient list of many caffeinated beverages, let alone disclose the amount of caffeine on the label. ![]() ![]() In peer nations-like, for instance, the United Kingdom-the government imposes strict and consistent regulations on the front end: It requires warning labels on drinks with more than 150 mg of caffeine and bans the sale of these drinks to children under 16. The bigger question, in my view, is why should Americans rely on a law firm, and the eventual decisions of a judge and jury in Delaware to decide what will effectively be a national standard for caffeinated lemonade? The answer is that the United States’ regulatory bodies are far too feeble to sufficiently protect the public against hazardous products, and so they essentially outsource this task to consumers and the lawyers who represent them.
