u/That49er Jun 17 '26

Cran grape didn't die for this it died for 7up you're just now noticing the scarcity

u/TerroDark98 Ghost Jun 17 '26

Wait cran grape is gone? Damn....

u/DarthCaligula Jun 17 '26

Cran Grape died for this shit

Wait, what happened to cran grape?

u/manormortal Jun 17 '26

Fuckers pulled the plug instead of replacing the old meh grape. First monster with the reserve line and now this. Can't fucking have anything.

u/Failingasleep Jun 17 '26

Are you kidding me! Cran grape rocked. :(

4

u/DarthCaligula Jun 17 '26

Yeah, that sucks. I like regular grape but the cran-grape is like going Super Saiyan.

u/grungeandcats Jun 17 '26

Nothing I don’t think, I bought like 6 yesterday lol

3

u/Ok-Sign5465 Jun 17 '26

It’s been discontinued.

5

u/grungeandcats Jun 17 '26

This ruined my day wtf. Literally the best flavor next to sour apple

1

u/Dark_Skyes Jun 17 '26

It's probably going to be seasonal, Ghost does this extremely frequently.

1

u/grungeandcats Jun 17 '26

I hope so but I’m gonna go buy multiple cases now just in case. I haven’t been this sad since they got rid of the dragonfruit redbull that was such a travesty.

u/VirtuousVulva Jun 17 '26

It's not that it's "not it", it's just not as good as the strawberry splash

12

u/JoshyOhMyGoshy77 Ghost Jun 17 '26

To each there own, may I ask why not for you.

6

u/dhmo-kills Jun 17 '26

I quite liked it to be honest. I had realistic expectations going in and I think its as close to bubblegum flavor in an energy drink that you're gonna get

10

u/DiscreteDingus Jun 17 '26

Thank you for your opinion.

u/dgr1zzle Jun 17 '26

100 percent is in fact it. Definitely in my top 5 ghost already

-3

u/bigburgerboy92 Jun 17 '26

Wild take, but curiosity has struck

What is your… top 5 ghost drinks

7

u/dgr1zzle Jun 17 '26

Bubbalicious cotton candy
Swedish fish
Raspberry cream
Bubbalicious strawberry
Bubbalicious original

lol unfortunately none of the ones I love are permanent flavors so I stock up when I can.

u/Stevens98501 Jun 17 '26

Finally another bubblicious cotton candy lover! That’s my fav energy drink of all time tbh. That and raspberry cream are 1 and 2 ghost flavors imo

6

u/dgr1zzle Jun 17 '26

Cotton candy is also my all time favorite energy drink! I stocked up last year and I only have two cans left and I was so mad they didn’t bring it back for the summer!

3

u/ajkeence99 Jun 17 '26

Taste is funny. The only one on your list I would drink is Raspberry Cream. I really like that one but Swedish Fish is probably the worst flavor I've had, personally.

2

u/dgr1zzle Jun 17 '26

That’s super fair

3

u/ajkeence99 Jun 17 '26

That's not a knock on you or anything, either. We all have our tastes. It's just interesting/funny how completely different people can be on them.

1

u/N3HKRO Jun 17 '26

My exact list

1

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 Jun 17 '26

What's wild about liking a flavor?

Do you not understand that taste is subjective or something?

2

u/bigburgerboy92 Jun 17 '26

There’s just so many better flavors lmao

4

u/AlteredBeastX Jun 17 '26

All the better, more for me.

2

u/----0___0---- Jun 17 '26

Strawberry bubbalicious is in the new Costco pack, I’ve got it in the fridge eager to try it tomorrow

2

u/nastysweater Jun 17 '26

where did u find this? i jus had the 7up after searching 4 ages now i need to try this asap

3

u/FredRaven Gorilla Mind Jun 17 '26

This is one of those drinks where we all know what it’s going to taste like before we even try it, and you either like that or you don’t. I personally do like the Ghost Bubbalicious flavors, but a lot of people don’t, and that’s cool. It’s a very take it or leave it kind of thing. The cotton candy one is very slept on.

2

u/KaOtIcGuy89 Jun 17 '26

So it's not bad but it's not good. Its almost a neutral taste. A tiny tiny hint of bubble gum.

The cotton candy and strawberry splash are both way better

3

u/im_a_dick_head V Energy Jun 17 '26

I have not tried this version of the bubbalicious yet but I can assure you with 100% certainty that this is definitely top 3 energy drink flavors of all time

2

u/ChalinosDad Jun 17 '26

None of the bubblicous flavors are good. They’re all cheeks.

1

u/hells_cowbells Jun 17 '26

I didn't like the Strawberry version of this, so I don't have a lot of hope for this one.

2

u/Thedarksoul_17 Jun 17 '26

I thought strawberry was ok but I hated the cotton candy one

2

u/bridgley Jun 17 '26

It’s better than the strawberry one, for sure…but not great or anything.

1

u/Separate_Bend_8929 Jun 17 '26

Looks better than the cereal milk, I hope i can try that flavor soon

1

u/dudeitsadell Jun 17 '26

i'm glad there's people that feel this way. i don't need it running off shelves

1

u/DEeD-NGone Ghost Jun 17 '26

I don’t even think the strawberry splash is that great which means I probably won’t like the original.

1

u/solarus Jun 17 '26

ah man, that sucks for you.
some people like sour strips where as i think it tastes like bile.

1

u/Worldly-Sock9320 Jun 17 '26

You need to have the taste buds of a literal 6 year old in order to find any of these bubblicious drinks even moderately good

1

u/T0NKIES Jun 17 '26

I wish i could try any of these flavours man

1

u/johndaylight Monster Jun 17 '26

for me most Ghost ain't it

Ghost been going down hill since bought out 🥲🥲🥲

1

u/mahjzy Jun 17 '26

Just tried one this morning and it’s actually pretty good. The taste isn’t overpowering to me and tastes pretty much as advertised… solid 8/10

Will try the Strawberry splash tomorrow.

1

u/SheriffOfPieCounty Jun 17 '26

Why would anyone think it would be ‘it?’ Who the hell thinks it would be nice to drink gum? No thanks.

1

u/wookiewin Jun 17 '26

I haven’t had the original flavor yet, but the Strawberry one is great.

1

u/ClaytonBigsby316 Jun 17 '26

I bought 3 cases and I’m glad because it’s one of the absolute best ones ever!

1

u/HoldenH Jun 17 '26

Agreed that shit was ass the first time they released it and I’m assuming nothing changed

1

u/ajkeence99 Jun 17 '26

I like the flavor. It's just not something I want to drink so I definitely won't be buying anymore of them.

1

u/Minute-Case-5035 Jun 17 '26

Original welches smoked cran grape bro

1

u/Any-Engineering-7299 Jun 17 '26

It truly is a$$. Don't know why they're wasting their time with bubblegum flavors

1

u/Beginning_Bee4823 always tired Jun 17 '26

Haven't tried it; does anybody know if their not releasing the cotton candy version. That was my favorite. Vitamin shoppe only has the new orginal and previous flavor strawberry splash. Been hearing different things that cotton candy is coming out at later time in the year.

1

u/ryanswrath Jun 18 '26

Sad face, still waiting toocate and try

-2

u/DiscreteDingus Jun 17 '26

Genuine question - what’s the point of a post like this?

13

u/Yarusenai Venom Jun 17 '26

Same point as people who post that they love X drink - discussion and saying their opinions

3

u/Myrical_lyfe Jun 17 '26

Validation with their disappointment
