@yakkoTDI As regards this stuff specifically, I applaud your decision. Good on ya. I sometimes wish I hadn’t developed a tolerance for caffeine decades ago, but such is life. At least my maintenace dose is a fraction of what this one delivers. And my preferred energy drink is entirely unlike this one in nearly every way; not canned, not overloaded with caffeine, not overloaded with sweeteners (by my standards, YOMV), and not hideously expensive relative to the cost of manufacture. I will decline to buy this Bang stuff even if all I’m paying is the shipping. Fortunately for Meh, there are loads of folks out there who find it marvelous. And those buyers provide a valuable service by disposing of it.
@werehatrack@yakkoTDI
I hadn’t heard of that. Nice and portable, but I don’t like Splenda (or any of the artificial sweeteners.) I just go with coffee and tea myself.
@mexicantacos Bought previously and than local discount brick n mortar store had stock for this same currently priced 12 pack. So couldn’t resist using the 30% off store coupon getting 2 more 24 packs. Drink 1 a day so yeah eye am about out again. Eye also bought some C4 cotton candy as well. Eye like to mix them up. All energy drinks are not intended for teenagers under 18. That said these do seem to give me headaches yet they are still highly addictive as any source of caffeine can be. In for some more bang. Now, get it wet for me honey!
The eye shtick isn’t doing anything for you. It reminds me of a local yelper who goes by the name of GEM. Everything is GEMariffic and GEMtastic and GEMnificent. It’s fucking stupid and annoying.
My local grocery store can’t move these even at half this price. “Every flavor name is something that can’t possibly sound good to anyone” is a bad gimmick for a beverage, who could have thought.
@brennyn That’s funny my local discount store went through a pallet in less than a month. Obviously, they are not popular in Alabama and are a huge hit in Florida.
@warpedrotors I don’t feel like I have high standards for drink flavors, but Unicorn, Radical Skadattle, and sweet tea all sound like things to not take a chance on.
@brennyn I’ll give you that those first two aren’t exactly standard flavors, but “can’t possibly sound good to anyone” is a bit of a stretch. If sweet tea seems strange or unappealing to you, I’m sure that puts you in a very small minority. It’s pretty normal and basic, even with the inclusion of lemon.
@brennyn@warpedrotors A lot of us will swiftly remove ourselves to a safe distance from anything canned that calls itself “sweet tea”. For some, that’s because the authentic substance as served up in a number of areas across the South is closer to waffle syrup than I want to risk drinking. But there’s a second reason to avoid canned “tea”, and that’s because if you actually like real brewed tea, the canned stuff more often comes across as just fecking awful. Ditto for the majority of the instant tea. Two brands of not-horrible gallon-jug-in-refrigerator-case tea are readily available across the Gulf states, Red Diamond and Milo’s. The rest of them vary from “ugh” to “ewww” to “git a rope.” Outside of that range, I brew my own or hit the drive-thru of McD; about 30 years ago, they figured out that there was a genuine demand for brewed-fresh tea, and theirs is reliably pretty good in my experience.
@brennyn@warpedrotors@werehatrack
I’m envious that you can get brewed tea at drivethrus - here it’s rare even in actual restaurants. Usually if you order tea you get a cup, a teabag, and a small metal pitcher of rapidly-cooling boiled water.
Maybe it’s just me but I feel your tea standards are just a might high.
I have had way too much “iced tea” that bore far less resemblance to the real thing than Sunny D bears to decent OJ. I’ve had some handed to me that was contaminated with coffee, and some that had sat in the machine so long that it had gotten cultural, and more than a little that was made from the revolting instant or concentrates. The worse it got, the less tolerance I had for sloppy and crappy product, because decent tea is so damned easy to make.
@communistjack@eeterrific Definitely sodium hexametaphosphate. Sodium hexametaphosphate, hexametaphosphate,hexametaphosphate, Supercalifragelistichexametaphosphate…it’s just fun to say.
@communistjack@eeterrific@ponagathos These will lower your sperm count, cause you to have massive amounts of headaches and increase your chances of having cancer. Great in for 3!
@communistjack@eeterrific the sodium hexametaphosphate is a harmless preservative. The potassium citrate monohydrate is a diuretic, so that’s probably the better of the two. Everything is chemicals. Chemical names don’t mean things are poison. Everyone gets so scared when they can’t pronounce things or don’t understand what they are. If you’re afraid of chemical names, don’t eat, drink, or touch anything. Canned energy drinks aren’t going to be pure spring water. Candy isn’t health food. Relax and enjoy things in moderation.
@warpedrotors chemicals. Hmm… This actually contains large amounts of dihydrogen monoxide which is an industrial solvent, a major component of acid rain, and the gaseous version of of dihydrogen monoxide can cause severe burns. http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html
@communistjack@eeterrific@warpedrotors God, thank you. I came here to say this. I cannot stand the crowd who don’t trust what they can’t spell or pronounce. I wonder how many people out there still fall for the old dihydrogen monoxide joke…
I still have some Rainbow Unicorn left over from the last time it was here. I think I’ll pass. My eye doctor asked me if I do cocaine, then said I should lay off the caffeine, so I might be overdoing it anyway.
@JT954@uscpsycho I have to wonder if they’re using nitrogen to pressurize these. It would work, and the result would be a mostly non-sparkling beverage. As for whether it tastes like flat soda or actual tea, my personal bet is that it tastes like something distinctly unlike either decent tea or a palatable-when-flat soda.
The previous “flavor”, Rainbow Unicorn, had the distinction of not only lacking the truly nasty strong flavors and weird aromas of the typical Monster, but of having nearly a complete lack of flavor. What they did not lack was the caffeine, which was present at levels that I swiftly discovered were Just Too Much. Yes, yes, I know, fossils like me are not the market for this … stuff. All the same, my preferred artificially-flavored-and-colored caffeinated beverage costs less than a quarter as much per serving, and tastes better, so I’ll give this a hard pass…
@werehatrack My go to is NOS or any cheap citrus flavored energy spike. Tea and coffee is okay. Although, those looking to lower sperm count without the risk of wearing a rubber could easily count on drinking these.
Yes - these are marketed to destroy the adrenals of youngnis so they end up caffeine hyper-sensitive old coots like us.
I was down to 1/3 caffeinated coffee - and recently had to give it up 100% when my last cardio stress test showed PVCs - coming in groups of 3 no less…
For those who are wondering, this is not carbonated. It is iced tea flavor and it is flat. That might be a deal-breaker for me, but that’s a feature for anyone who wants to mix in any powder supplements as a pre-workout or something like that.
@uscpsycho@werehatrack Radical Skiddadle or what others call cotton candy was a personal preference. Rainbow was my least favorite as well. Rain has similar flavors so does Moster well actually about any name brand flavor is just a wrap of a less known brand with their own toxic ingredients added into the great mix. Drink some today enjoy it while you walk earth in human form.
@whomeyesu Cotton candy is its own flavor. Reign(Rain) has carnival candy, I believe. Monster(Moster) has nothing that even tastes vaguely similar, nor do most other energy drink brands. You’re talking out of your ass, and the eyes thing is really fucking tiresome. You’re replying to every other comment in here with completely fabricated nonsense. If you just like seeing words you put together, you can start a diary. That way no one else is subjected to it. Other than that, I see no value in anything you’ve posted. You’re apparently trying to entertain yourself, or maybe you actually think others will find your posts informative or amusing, which is more pathetic. Either way, please stop… eye beg you! See how stupid that is?
@uscpsycho In my experience, most of the canned energy drinks are far less carbonated than the typical non-E soda. Some seem to barely count at all; I’m not even sure that the can is pressurized with CO2. These cans need internal pressure to maintain structural integrity in handling; they aren’t robust enough to withstand being stacked without it. Because CO2 will dissolve in water, some may use nitrogen instead. I haven’t tried to investigate this possibility.
Huzzah huzzah huzzah!!. Been waiting for a Bang return. The cheapest I can buy around here is a 4 pack for $9.95. Even with shipping it is still a great deal.
Been buying the Lidl energy drink, zero calories 16oz. can $.99, this is ice tea with 3 cents worth of vitamin’s and 3 cents worth of creatine, I don’t think this is a bad deal at all for an energy drink, 0 cal. I buy the biggest Lipton canister i can find for about 9 bucks and make ice tea at about $.90 per gallon, than add a taurine supp also take pro lab multi and have plenty of energy.
@mellowirishgent Any 0 cal energy blend is bad on your digestion. We already know this yet we continue to corrupt our bodies with these creatine and bull sperm toxins. I prefer sugar over sugar alcohol yet prices always over come all decision-making practices.
This is hands down THE worst deal I’ve seen on Meh.
We some dude at work bring in two pallets of this sewage he got free due to a sponsorship. He thought he was being nice by giving them to us.
Everyone tried one, decided it was garbage, and the cases just sat there for 6 months until one enterprising coworker opened them up, dumped them out and then collected the money at the recycling center.
@robthedude05 It’s tea sweetened with splenda or something very similar with some other added in toxins that will cause additional skin growth in areas its not wanted. It’s not for all. Only those who live on the edge shall attempt. Drink at your own risk.
@robthedude05 Dunno about it being the worst deal, that probably has to go to the things they’ve had to backpedal and refund like those “diamond” ankle bracelets back in December. That’s really rare, but there have been some. But as for Bang being one of the worst things sold here, yeah, it’s in the running. IMNSHO, all of the canned energy drinks, without exception, are a ripoff. Even Venom, whose strawberry-apple flavor is not putrid and whose price printed on the can is 99 cents. (That one has the distinction of being just barely close enough to not-a-ripoff that I will grab one occasionally.) But otherwise, my go-to is a mix, with a per-portion price of 21 cents ($3.78 for 18 at the local grocery store.) Less but enough caffeine (for me), decent flavor that is not overwhelmed by the sucralose.
@robthedude05 It’s Bang Energy Drink, it’s almost as polarizing as politics and/or religion. Some people love most of their flavors (like some of my former co-workers), to others they taste like various forms of diluted puke (me). I’m usually an energy drink guy, but I don’t want to have to shotgun them before the taste catches up to me.
Most people consider these “better” lol for you than Monster, Red Bull, etc. and the brand has definitely grown a ton. But I can’t believe nobody has mentioned the HBO show “How To With John Wilson”, and the episode where he stumbled into / crashed the Bang CEO’s party (I think for his kid’s birthday). Highly entertaining show & episode .
@Pufferfishy
Typical price as chilled singles is $2.29 (and up) around here; SO not worth it. At least Jolt, which predates the whole Energy-Buzzword beverage fad, is semi-honest with their slogan “all the sugar and twice the caffeine”.
@werehatrack Personally I like “Bawls” - the Guarana had a slightly better effect on me than just straight caffeine. Plus I loved the blue glass - busted up and polished the pieces from a couple cases of empties then used them for artsy-fartsy shit on rainy Crafternoons in mi casa.
But I def. had my share of old Jolt back in the day.
@bass1193 Even without the O, a basic knowledge of chem would help. Lots. I long ago gave up trying to get some people to understand that “natural”-sourced pure substances have zero difference from the synthetic substance, among other vast misconceptions. Possibly the worst was the person who considered distilled water dangerous. Oy.
@bass1193@ladyhawke001@werehatrack
Another favorite content-free claim is “clinically tested”. That just means you and a couple of friends tried it and didnt die. Notice there is no claim of what was tested.
And for the love of Goop, squeeze some lemon juice in your alkaline water to give it a refreshing flavor. Right after you finish sunbathing your taint.
Interesting that this sold out, I hope everyone who likes Bang Energy Drinks actually enjoys this. If you’re trying it for the first time, you’ll either like it or hate it. I haven’t encountered anyone who says “it’s alright” after trying one. Although I suppose someone could be out there…
@marvelljones They are indeed not bad. Not the best tasting although if drunk within a few hours as myself drinks them they do not give you that crash feeling as more powerful versions do. Not my go to yet for about the price of ripit or venom not to shabby either. Indeed eye bought some more this go round.
Tastes just like sweet tea. I was actually shocked when I first had it a few years ago. Hopefully BANG will be back for the Europa UBU Expo this year. I would get a variety of Bang products for free (well with paid entrance).
Bang energy drinks is pure poison. Please do not drink it. Seriously, absolutely dangerous to consume! It is not worth it. Your health is much more important!
@rphawx I survived a catastrophic illness, sepsis, renal failure, and a few other fun things. Now that I’m in my 60s I much rather would be bouncing off the walls energized than worrying what I might be ingesting. There’s worse things in the atmosphere I breathe - hell, microplastic particles have been found in blood recently. I’ll take my chances with guarana, creatine and caffeine, tyvm.

@fuzzmanmatt Why, do your eyeballs quiver or something?
These are not super sweet. Worth it for the caffeine that the $1 cans of Arizona tea don’t have.
These are too rich for my taste, liver, adrenals.
Almost done with the Rainbow Unicorn flavor (down to my last box). Curious to know if today’s offerings taste like iced tea or flat like soda.
@JT954 You usually drink flat soda? This is iced tea and it’s flat, not carbonated like soda.
@JT954 @uscpsycho I have to wonder if they’re using nitrogen to pressurize these. It would work, and the result would be a mostly non-sparkling beverage. As for whether it tastes like flat soda or actual tea, my personal bet is that it tastes like something distinctly unlike either decent tea or a palatable-when-flat soda.

Typical price as chilled singles is $2.29 (and up) around here; SO not worth it. At least Jolt, which predates the whole Energy-Buzzword beverage fad, is semi-honest with their slogan “all the sugar and twice the caffeine”.
Jolt Cola - The Details
@werehatrack Personally I like “Bawls” - the Guarana had a slightly better effect on me than just straight caffeine. Plus I loved the blue glass - busted up and polished the pieces from a couple cases of empties then used them for artsy-fartsy shit on rainy Crafternoons in mi casa.
But I def. had my share of old Jolt back in the day.
Some of these comments are a great reminder that this world would be better if every human was required to take Gen Chem and o chem.
@bass1193 Even without the O, a basic knowledge of chem would help. Lots. I long ago gave up trying to get some people to understand that “natural”-sourced pure substances have zero difference from the synthetic substance, among other vast misconceptions. Possibly the worst was the person who considered distilled water dangerous. Oy.
@werehatrack I don’t know, the whole alkaline water crowd trying to “fix their body’s pH” is at least as bad
@bass1193 @werehatrack
My response for 20+ years when hearing “but it’s all natural” has always been ‘so is dog shit’ - still stands.
@bass1193 @ladyhawke001 @werehatrack
Another favorite content-free claim is “clinically tested”. That just means you and a couple of friends tried it and didnt die. Notice there is no claim of what was tested.
And for the love of Goop, squeeze some lemon juice in your alkaline water to give it a refreshing flavor. Right after you finish sunbathing your taint.
How did you not call this “Bang for your buck.”
@joshguillen Because “soliciting” is still illegal in Plano?
@joshguillen
How did they miss the opportunity to say “Buy Some Bang, Gang!”?
Wtf is that? Oh, sold out?
Interesting that this sold out, I hope everyone who likes Bang Energy Drinks actually enjoys this. If you’re trying it for the first time, you’ll either like it or hate it. I haven’t encountered anyone who says “it’s alright” after trying one. Although I suppose someone could be out there…
@marvelljones
There’s one across the room from me, so they exist, even if scarce.
@marvelljones They are indeed not bad. Not the best tasting although if drunk within a few hours as myself drinks them they do not give you that crash feeling as more powerful versions do. Not my go to yet for about the price of ripit or venom not to shabby either. Indeed eye bought some more this go round.
Tastes just like sweet tea. I was actually shocked when I first had it a few years ago. Hopefully BANG will be back for the Europa UBU Expo this year. I would get a variety of Bang products for free (well with paid entrance).
Bought myself some dang BANG and got my 12-pack today. This flavor is delicious IMO
Bang energy drinks is pure poison. Please do not drink it. Seriously, absolutely dangerous to consume! It is not worth it. Your health is much more important!
@rphawx I survived a catastrophic illness, sepsis, renal failure, and a few other fun things. Now that I’m in my 60s I much rather would be bouncing off the walls energized than worrying what I might be ingesting. There’s worse things in the atmosphere I breathe - hell, microplastic particles have been found in blood recently. I’ll take my chances with guarana, creatine and caffeine, tyvm.
