I hate when it double posts like that.
It is an energy drink as well. It comes in a 16fl oz. (473mL) can. Redbull comes in a 8 fl oz. can, and it is the same price. I checked the caffiene content on redbull, and it is like 80 mg. (1 No Dose = 200mg). Let me look it up. Monster is like off the charts on caffiene content. Dude, this stuff knocked my socks off the first time I tried it.

At my campus they were handing out free cans, so I took one and drank it right before my Circuit Analysis class. And I had to chug it (it's like the size one of those tall beer cans), because I couldn't bring it into class. In almost exactly 15 min, I was SO f'n focussed. I felt like the professor was talking directly to me during the lecture. I have been buying it every since.
And it tastes GOOD. I don't mean good like redbull, kind of different normal good, I mean this tastes EXACTLY like soda pop.

I know exactly what you are talking about!Monster is still my favorite. Here are some others for you to try,
- green can of Boo-Koo (I've only seen it on my campus. I'm beginning to think this is my new favorite though. It's really that good.)
- NOS
- Commando Bear (You can only get it in specialty Chinese grocery stores). It's not that good, but if you are ever in there, you should pick it up just for kicks.

There is a plethora of Energy Drinks in the US as of the past couple of years. I think the reason that they sell so well is because they are so expensive. I think that people think that they are getting a better quality product just because they are paying more. I mean, it's just soda pop with a lot of caffiene and a few other mild stimulants. I bet it costs 17 cents to produce each can of the stuff.

I'm not so sure about the just "soda pop can caffeine".
I notice a "kick" out some energy drinks. I think the mixtures of chemicals really do add to give one somewhat of a mental boost. I recall when I first started taking suppliments how weird I would feel. B6 would especially make me feel different (not in a good way, not bad though).
Looking at the energy drink in front of me (low carb monster) it has niacin, b6, b12, taurine, l-carntine, guarna,... to name a few. If you were to purchase those suppliments individually, they would be quite expensive. So the price might accurately reflect the cost of the beverage. At least I hope that's the case.
Buying all that stuff in bulk probably discounts it so hard, that it really is 17 cents.
Some of the cheaper energy drinks do nothing for me. If you look at the labels, you can see that they don't contain half of what the Monster's and Rockstar's have. Although, this could be all in my head. I've not actually conducted a double blind taste test... yet.

I take Adderall and it helps me a lot! Without it, my grades would go from A's to C's. But that's probably because I have AD/HD...
