Monster Hydro

Almost got the green/yellowish one but I was sweating my ass off so I opted for water. The packaging is sick though.

I've had the melon one. I dont like nor buy monster typically but the melon was like a light juice or flavored water kind of. Good flavor & not too strong & syrupy either imo

The blue is kinda a berry flavor .

buddy texted me the other day a picture of the clear/green hydro and said it tastes like pripps? can anyone verify? i can't find it for sale around here. lol. i'm curious because pripps was the best thing ever.

Never heard of Pripps ?

Hydro has been out for almost a year but was only available at certain retail locations until recently when the updated their bottles and sizes as well as flavor line up in a list of retail stores.

They started with a bottle/can which was 16 oz and came in 3 flavors melon, mean green, and tangerine. Since then it is now in a 24 oz bottle and comes in purple passion, blue ice, tangerine, zero sugar ( i heard it taste like the ultra zero white monster), as well as they still show the mean green and melon in old packaging on monsterenergy.com.

I have yet to see the melon or mean green since the update in retail stores Not sure if the mean green & melon are old stock they are trying to get rid of or if they are still in the line up. Kinda odd they didn't update that packaging as well.
.

like gatorade?

It's got electrolytes

Lime/mean green: basically tastes like lime gatorade. 8/10

Purple: hard to place flavorwise but good. 9/10

Blue: Cool blue Gatorade. 9/10

Tropical Thurder: like a popsicle. 7/10

However, not to derail this but the Summer edition RedBull this year is fire as well. 10/10

WADA approved?

Pripps Plus, was an energy drink back in the 80's...very gatorade like. they sponsored loretta's every year and had a drink cooler line by the starting gate...like 20 coolers of it with snow cone type paper cups. lol. It was like crack....best drink ever.

maybe some of the old loretta's guys remember it...i'm talking like 82' or 83' era? if anyone can find that recipe they had and re-issue it...its 100x better than gatorade or any of the stuff going nowadays.

finally found something with their logo. not much on google.

Hahahaha

Love it.

In other news, I thought this thread might be hinting at a sponsorship tie-up between Monster and some weed company. The amount of people smoking weed in Vegas was out of control.

Guaranteed to make you fail a WADA piss test.

Old guys will remember, gee thanks. Used to get that Pripps plus stuff from our old moto store in the Midwest called Torque Center. Drank that stuff until someone at Cincinnati dealer show handed out this stuff called Red Bull.....then add Stohli.

For $1 those are the best hands down. $3 for an energy drink seems crazy! I will sometimes get the 2 for $3 deal but it seems like they don't do those as much anymore in our area.

Another Pripps plus fan here. I got hooked on the crack at Ponca back in the early 80's. Been telling friends about how good it was. I'm going to have to try the green now.

The hydros are good, kind of like Gatorade but little less sugar. Good on monster. They also came out with this flavor recently, it’s not part of the hydro line but it is amazing. It’s like the old purple dub editon but crispier. P.S, Didn’t realize there were so many caffeine junkies like myself on this site. Simple pleasures

so monster promote these different flavors on different teams. everyone does not need the green freakin claw. it seems so simple. people might actually look into it instead of just scanning past another green claw.

Lemon Propel Fitness Water tastes just like Pripps
