    If you live in a first world country, living vegan is honestly not a problem at all. And of course I’m not counting the US here. These guys are just poor people that are challanged enough already.

      I mean, your country can be rich but it does not mean it’s easy being vegan and even if its, often there is still an economic impact on going vegan that poorer people cannot afford

      Yes but don’t be fooled by the name: Taurine is called like that only because it was first discovered in bulls but it’s present and produced by many other animals and micro organism; as much as i know most of the taurine is today produced either by synthesis or by harvesting what some micro organisms produce

    I’m seeing influencers advertise these everywhere. Are these actually good?

      Good? No. Fine if you want to not sleep for a concerning amount of time, and better than coke zero because it’s got more caffeine per caffeine.

      White Monster (pictured) tastes like… orange pop that’s less sweet, much more citrus and has something else going on akin to saltiness at the same time; maybe it’s an umami-flavour. It is genuinely delicious. I have now tried the rest of the Monster line-up and despised them, they are all fit for the pit. I haven’t tried any other energy drink.

        Compared to the amount of coffee a lot of people drink, these aren’t that bad. There’s no sugar at least.

        A standard run of the mill large coffee has more caffeine than one of these, and people guzzle those down.
