Too much caffeine for my liking. I generally like to keep my daily intake at below 300mg but I want 2 boosts per day. Can't do that with bang. 2 of the ultra monster comes in at 280 with 0 sugar. I don't need any of the meme ingredients in bang.
Same guy here, I will say it is an amazingly flavored drink. Every flavor is exactly what they promise. I did enjoy the sour heads when I did drink them.
I used to be able to find these cheap ass sugar free strawberry kiwi Rockstars for $1 and those were by far my favorite energy drink. Can't find them anywhere locally anymore though. I like Bang but Reign is better tbh. Both too expensive though so I just drink coffee
Seen it first hand. Friend wanted to do something about his receding hairline, gets on finasteride, minoxidil, jabs his head with a little needle pen, and in a few months his hairline was back to normal, then he started using creatine, then his hairline started receding rapidly after that and his hair started thinning. He stopped using creatine, kept on with his hair restoration routine, and he's slowly making a comeback. But it still fricked him up and cost him months of progress. It'll probably take him 2 years to recover what he lost, if he even can.
It's not a meme. I've tried doses ranging from 2-5g. Something about it legitimately causes thinning and recession in a subset of men. Probably something to do with how it interacts with DHT.
>dose makes the poison
Isn't that what that image is saying?

no, he's saying >too much of thing bad
but too little of a thing is bad too, which makes his claim meaningless horseshit. a much more meaningful thing to say about poison is that the dose makes the poison, which explains why the human body needs trace amounts of e.g. cyanide, not too much oxygen, etc.
scientific ~~*evidence*~~ is nothing more than a large amount of anecdotes. There is an insane amount of "anecdotal evidence" that creatine makes you lose your hair. If you think every single one is just a coincidence you're a fricking idiot
yeah that's kind of the fricking point you pseud
you gather a large sum of information (with proof) and use it to sift out outliers
looking at singular anecdotes does not allow for outliers to be taken into account, and this is assuming that the person giving the anecdote is even telling the truth in the first place

guess what? the entire world is children! We are all stunted and entitled, oblivious to actual suffering or morality.
So yeah! I enjoy a sip now and then! But you are no better than I!
Bang has less than 100mg of creatine while the regular daily intake should be 5g if you take it, all while they use this "patented creatine formula" as the main show to boost this drinks popularity, It's the snake oil of the energy drink industry, plus it has way too much caffeine for a single serving
>350mg per can
That's just fricking stupid. The shame is they're genuinely delicious products, if they made a line of diet sodas with those flavors I don't think I'd drink anything else so long as I lived, but even as a large man who did manual labor for years that's a fricking stupid amount of caffeine to drink at once.
I do buy their preworkouts though, they're great and I can add only as much as I want so I don't have to awkwardly drink half a can and let the other half to flat, just add half a scoop and get on with my day.
Oh shit thanks for telling me anon, they must not carry this stuff where I live I've never seen it. I'll have to keep an eye out for it next time I go into the city.
Why the frick do these companies put like 400mg of caffeine in drinks? 200 is a good amount and won't put you into an panic attack after a whole can
I regularly have ~350mg of caffeine within 2 hours in a day and my resting heart rate doesn't go above 80. I don't do much cardio either. Is it a genetic thing?
One of the largest markets for Bang is the U.S. military, people who regularly have to work on <6 hours of sleep. I had never even heard Bang until I joined, and I had been an energy drink guy for years.
This is the only energy drink that makes my afraid for my heart
Idk what the frick their weird-ass "super creatine" is (it's not actually creatine, so I've read) but it can't be healthy
I still want to try that Miami Cola flavor, can't find it anywhere and it's hard as shit to even find different flavors at the convenience store since they are all the same can now.
I can't find that flavor anywhere anymore. Feels like they stopped making it, which sucks as it was one of my favorites. Tastes like Mexican Coke.
The sweet tea flavors are pretty good.

I just drink half a can and put the rest in the fridge.
Bang is my favorite brand of bottled energy drinks, especially the sweet tea and pina colada ones.
Due to dental health, cost, and environmental concerns I instead just chew some caffeine tablets and drink filtered tap water.
these mfers kept me going working 16 hrs a day and an intense cardio and lifting regiment while being in a caloric deficit and managing ~4-6 hours of sleep a night (probably not aided by the 2-3 of these I was drinking a day)
kept that up for like 7 months. if you're doing anything less than that, it's too much - with the exception of one of them as a pre-workout.
Im pretty sure I went completely manic or something during this time, I was behaving weird as frick. Made a lot of progress in the gym during that time though
Work in a convenience store. Bang, rockstar, celsius, and any other fringe energy drink have all been dying off lately. People are only buying redbull and monster. The energy drink meme is dead.
I myself don't drink energy drinks but I had a Czech friend come visit me in Finland back in July.
Of course, I had to show him the energy drinks we have and he really liked Euro shopper and Mad croc but he really hated Bang because the candy apple crisp tasted like a real apple.
I don't know if this says more about the beverage or the Czech taste.
>Cherry Blade Lemonade
Delicious, 9/10 >Key Lime Pie
Accurate label, does not disappoint, 8.5/10 >Candy Apple Crisp
The least fake apple flavor I've ever had in an ultra-sweet drink or candy, 8/10 >Star Blast
Very syrupy and fruity, hard to place but still like liquid candy, 7.5/10 >Miami Cola
I don't know why people hate it, actually tastes like Coke, 7.5/10 >Sour Heads
Pretty much a sour gummy candy in liquid form, 7/10 >Purple Kiddles
Couldn't believe they managed to replicate the exact grape Skittles flavor so perfectly, it becomes a bit much but at least it delivers on its promise, 6/10 >Blue Razz
Typical fake blue raspberry flavor, 6/10 >Frose Rose
Passable but weak, Monster's is better, 5/10 >Black Cherry Vanilla
A weak black cherry vanilla overpowered by generic energy drink flavor, but it's still black cherry vanilla, 5/10 >Raspberry Hibiscus
Wimpy, tastes like what I imagine LaCroix tasting like, develops a slightly nasty aftertaste with time, 4/10 >Rainbow Unicorn
Has an air of some kind of bubblegum scent I guess but it barely tastes like anything, 3/10
Way too much caffeine for a regular energy drink. It's an entirely different product than Monster. Bang is supposed to be more of a preworkout. Bang always gives me the jitters, and then I crash super hard. I never crash after drinking Monster. It's good for getting your heartrate up and taking a shit, but Monster is just better if you want a regular amount of energy.

Just drink half the can in the morning and half the can in the afternoon moron
Mmmm flat soda.
Rockstar is the true king of energy drinks
Shits nasty
I used to be able to find these cheap ass sugar free strawberry kiwi Rockstars for $1 and those were by far my favorite energy drink. Can't find them anywhere locally anymore though. I like Bang but Reign is better tbh. Both too expensive though so I just drink coffee

It doesnt matter, creatine is fricking stupid.
Balding is mostly tied to genetics anyways

>balding guy on anti-balding meds experiences DHT fluctuations
>"creatine makes you bald bro"
Internet use should require an IQ test
This story is so sad, in the sense that there are "men" like this out there.
Don't reproduce, please.
It's not a meme. I've tried doses ranging from 2-5g. Something about it legitimately causes thinning and recession in a subset of men. Probably something to do with how it interacts with DHT.
Thats why Vegans don't go bald
>/our energy drink/
only children drink those things

Black Label Brewed Coffee contains 129.58 mg of caffeine per fl oz (438.17 mg per 100 ml). A 12 fl oz cup has a total of 1555 mg of caffeine.
>if they made a line of diet sodas with those flavors
They have some, but not all the flavors as far as I know.
>osmolality optimized
boy they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this shit. I only drink classic bang
Oh shit thanks for telling me anon, they must not carry this stuff where I live I've never seen it. I'll have to keep an eye out for it next time I go into the city.
Why the frick do these companies put like 400mg of caffeine in drinks? 200 is a good amount and won't put you into an panic attack after a whole can
The primary market for these drinks tend to be recovering meth heads it's kinda like methadone to them.
I regularly have ~350mg of caffeine within 2 hours in a day and my resting heart rate doesn't go above 80. I don't do much cardio either. Is it a genetic thing?
You build some tolerance to it. Bangs used to give me heart palpitations if I finished one in less than a few hours.
One of the largest markets for Bang is the U.S. military, people who regularly have to work on <6 hours of sleep. I had never even heard Bang until I joined, and I had been an energy drink guy for years.
This is the only energy drink that makes my afraid for my heart

I still want to try that Miami Cola flavor, can't find it anywhere and it's hard as shit to even find different flavors at the convenience store since they are all the same can now.
it aint good
it tastes like a flat generic-brand cola
I can't find that flavor anywhere anymore. Feels like they stopped making it, which sucks as it was one of my favorites. Tastes like Mexican Coke.
The sweet tea flavors are pretty good.
It's pretty good, more lemony than standard cola. Tastes a lot like haribo happy cola gummies.
Depends on the flavor. I usually go for a Bang instead of Monsters nowadays though.
My fav is Key Lime Pie or Cherry Blade Lemonade.
i enjoy supporting this man
I Just mix up some "Guac Gamer Fart 9k" into my fruit smoothie in the morning.
Never been happier.
Dude looks like a 50-60 year old that's still a freshman in college.
That's my fricking hero right there. God bless him
His bit in How To with John Wilson is pretty based
i like ghost. i ended up buying the swedish fish powder and mix it myself at home with seltzer water
Dies Hiro get paid from threads like these or are companies allowed to advertise for free here?
Revenue from advertising threads like these is paid directly to the janitorial staff, so i hope they get a good price for them
t. angie varona
I like the trans one
I graduated from energy drinks when I tried modafinil.
>not drinking the goat of energy drinks
this but adderall
I've got 3 of these in the fridge, love it big time
what's up with the can texture though? Crinkles in a weird way
Theyre plain cans with plastic-wrap graphics, instead of the graphics being printed directly into the can.
I like the can texture, feelsgoodman
I love barq's
why did they change the can designs
Do need a flavor called Afternoon Bang
I've drank about 5 of these in the last few years and I think I've regretted it every single time.
Just a scoop of gamersupps in a cheap bottle of water is enough
I choose Ghost over Bang just because it has 200mg of caffeine instead of 300 that extra 100 is too much
I switched to Monster, Monster Java and Rockstar Boom
Bang is Trumpic**t trash and I havent missed it yet
If you can find it, Redline is the best I've ever had. 300mg caffeine but in a 12oz instead of 16, feels like it kicks in a lot faster too.
Nothing like cracking open a can of Bang's root beer.
Personally I only drink Oliet Bang's for its more refined flavor.
Jesus, shut the frick up
Seethe frick boi
Seething MUG moper
it clearly says Oüiet ßanq's and you know it
Do they have a Ricoco Bang?
Georgia peach is pretty good
This one isn't available where I've looked ;_;
I just drink half a can and put the rest in the fridge.
energy drinks are disgusting
Bang is a forced meme
monsters were a forced meme, bang is organic
Zero sugar is for gays
Bang is my favorite brand of bottled energy drinks, especially the sweet tea and pina colada ones.
Due to dental health, cost, and environmental concerns I instead just chew some caffeine tablets and drink filtered tap water.
I only like uncarbonated stuff, any other options besides monster rehab?
Rockstar recovery, otherwise it's mostly just coffee/tea variants. There's always good ol' caffeine pills as well.
I miss the Monster Dragon Fruit and Green Tea cans like you wouldnt believe
Coffee. Black.
>Mogs you and blocks all of your paths collectively
Not even close energylet
classy choice right here. refined, mature, diligent, powerful.
these mfers kept me going working 16 hrs a day and an intense cardio and lifting regiment while being in a caloric deficit and managing ~4-6 hours of sleep a night (probably not aided by the 2-3 of these I was drinking a day)

>4-6 hours of sleep
you're going to get dementia bro...
Im pretty sure I went completely manic or something during this time, I was behaving weird as frick. Made a lot of progress in the gym during that time though
they taste like shitty diet sodas not really a fan.
FRICK BANG
I had a Bang the other day and felt like I was going to have a stroke, i'll stick to my coconut Redbull
blueberry red bull checking in.
why does bang have 200 flavors and not a single one of them are good
holy based, redbros, we fricking won. banggays eternally btfo.
>not drinking Reign

Reddit is that way, homosexual ——>
Mutt thread. No wonder they all get heart attacks.
you aren't white.
>didn't ration my sips wisely
>now trying to extract as much caffeine from green tea bags as possible
help me
Just get a bottle of 200mg caffeine pills, they're like $15-20 for 500 capsules.
that's not very enjoyable
frfr
I personally prefer their rootbeer.
Work in a convenience store. Bang, rockstar, celsius, and any other fringe energy drink have all been dying off lately. People are only buying redbull and monster. The energy drink meme is dead.
Celsius is the only energy drink Ive truly enjoyed, I'll be sad to see it go. I only drink like 5 a year though so I'm not the target audience
I thought it was "Banq"
Mandela effect
only ones i've ever seen drank is rainbow unicorn. tasted like shit
thats the best one. all the others are somehow a lot worse.
>t. someone who tried every bang and reign flavor before switching back to monster
I like redbull better.
I cant stand sugar alternatives.
Forever the GOAT

The only thing that tastes worse than monster is bang. How many times were you dropped as a child?
Breakie's up ya slack dawg c**ts
different business models. bong needs to dump hundreds of millions into motorsports alone to topple monster.
bang and reign taste weird to me, i can't enjoy them. only energy drink i really enjoy drinking right now is Monster Assault.
or gtfo
full throttle tastes the best. it's like liquid sparkling gummi bears
Frick off, shill.
Until they fix the color issue (they won't) BANG will never surpass MONSTER
Way too much caffeine for a regular energy drink. It's an entirely different product than Monster. Bang is supposed to be more of a preworkout. Bang always gives me the jitters, and then I crash super hard. I never crash after drinking Monster. It's good for getting your heartrate up and taking a shit, but Monster is just better if you want a regular amount of energy.
dunno why these kinds of things are never mentioned around here. these are some of the ones that got away for me...
You can still buy it on Amazon. I thought they went out of business, but I guess they're back now.
I just don't support any company that does the troony unicorn stuff. Sorry! haha
*kneels*
Frick no, bang sucks
/sipboys/ never die
