It is very nice, but also… Mango Loco.

[-] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago

Mango loco #1, whatever the white sugar free can is #2. Because sometimes I don't want to speed run diabetes.

I used to regularly buy a case of the white can to bring into work for myself and my colleagues to share. We burned through them.

Have you tried the sugarfree watermelon variety? Had a solid week of drinking that exclusively after first trying it.

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

The sugar free ones kinda get old fast for me, I really used to like the green ones (paradise I think) but now I can't stand them.

Similar things happened with most of the other sugar free flavors.

In the end I decided that I should really just not drink them at all and now they're a nice treat once in a while when I need a bit of energy and something very sweet.

Honestly, I prefer sugar to date, even though I know it isn't good for most parts of me. Dunno, those artificial sweeteners are just... they always feel like I'm drinking sweetened aspirin.

That's why I value anything sugar-free which can hold my attention. I know I should prioritise discipline, but given how things are going nowadays... Well, let's say a bit of hedonism has become a must for me in maintaining a semblance of psychological stability...

My brain works in fantastic ways so I have absolutely no idea. I don't think I have, but that doesn't mean I haven't. I'll see if my store even has any tomorrow.

Can relate, though my memory seems to be functional when related to taste.

Thoroughly recommend a taste if you manage to find some, it felt simultaneously fresh and nostalgic (used to have a lot of processed fruit juice/soda variety when growing up).

Ugh, Ultra tastes like metallic Lilt, utterly vile (to me).

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Mango Loco's good, but it kinda'... loses its novelty after the first half of the second can... Honestly prefer the peach one (forgot the name) over Mango Loco:-?

[-] warl0x@feddit.nl 3 points 8 months ago

Peach and nectarine is Monarch?

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yes, that one! Thank you! Really nice, especially love to drink a can before starting my evening relaxation period, ironically. Peach is just such a calming flavour in general, I find.

[-] Amputret@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I think the peach one is the Nitro version? That is also yummy, though less so to me.

Edit: Just replied from my replies pane, forgot Monarch, that is yummy, but I can taste the sweeteners in it just about.

Personally I miss old Ripper, I swear they changed it (probably sweeteners) from what used to fuel me at Uni in the 2000s.

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Oh, definitely not perfect, genuine peach and nectarine juice is lightyears ahead, still! But close enough, y'know?

Yet another variety I never knew existed! See, this is why I hate the internet, it always reveals more and more regrets...
