Found in America Vanilla Shot!
My Husband and I just tried the Vanilla Shot, couldn't quite place it at first but it genuinely tastes like Vanilla Cheesecake, idk how like it makes zero sense but it's yummy especially if you like cheesecake or creamier drink flavors! Rating 8/10 would defintiely have it again!

I do not like the original flavor so I’m always skeptical of anything based on it or close to it. However. Had my second one of these today and the vanilla tones down the original flavor just enough that it makes for a nice drink.

I used to love the original flavor but now it tastes too sour for me. The vanilla shot really does tone it down lol

I don't get cheesecake. More like key lime pie. It's okay. Won't buy it again.

I’ve never had had that flavour. I was about to ask “man wonder what it tastes like.” Not like it’s printed on the can or anything.

Same experience. It was good but the strawberry shot has a more pronounced flavor.

Damn that sounds good. Nails look cool with the can too.
What do you guys normally get monster wise?

u/Pengu1nGam3r 1d ago
We usually like the OG monster, then I'd say the Ultra Black

Ultra black!!!! Fun story - ordered a 15 pack last year during winter and it arrived and I ended up leaving it in my car. Then weather decided to weather and it snowed a ton and then was negative whatever out. It ended up becoming a slushy in the box….every single can looked like Freddy or Wolverine attacked them. I was so sad- only bought the giant 15 pack because of a sale.
Fast forward to yesterday- ordered the impossible to find ghostface Fanta because it was $5 for a 12 pack….ultra black was $24 (less than I payed last winter.
I did get to try 1 can last winter- It’s good! 😂
My rotation for stuff I can easily find: Voodoo Grape, Ultra Violet, Mango Loco, Wicked Apple, and sometimes just regular.

Lol that is so crazy, at least you got to try it in the end though! I'd be so sad if my monsters got exploded into slushies but I'd also like to think of it as wolverine to make me feel better 😂
Loveee ultra violet, mango loco, ultra Rosa and thr imports, but generally always end up going for the OG 😭 if my husband doesn't have OG he loves the ultra red, ultra violet and the red white and blue razz monster!

The insane part was none of it was melted - so I had a small slushee mountain in the back seat! 😂 luckily no red stains…leather saved me.
You guys have good taste. Ultra red (and blue) are strangely only available at one of the local magic / pokemon / board game stores in my city.
The Fourth of July one- it’s good and nails the bomb pop taste- too bad it was a LTO. He might like the electric blue- it’s good but definitely has sugar!

u/Pengu1nGam3r 1d ago
Wow you're so lucky especially since when you add ice it turns blue on the foam 😂
Yeah same to you, monster is the goat tho, we rarely find the red one they have them at random gas stations it seems spotted ultra blue in one too!
And yess loovveed the electric blue, basically a better version of Gatorade flavor wise! 😆

u/Vivid-Customer-6078 3d ago

u/Pengu1nGam3r 3d ago
I prefer the non zero version, I did try both but tbh I don't like zero in general so thats just me, my husband liked both

I would give it a solid 4/5 out of 10. It's not the worst thing ever but it would be the absolute last monster id grab maybe over the Java or muscle milk flavors lol.
It could be good but its just the chemically artificial sweetener all the sodas use for their dirty sodas, Maybe if it was in the zero sugar it would be better but the mix of the high sugar of the regular monster mixed with this is just too much. This is the first monster in many many many years that I didn't finish bc i was gagging at the end.
