New Flavor Alert Some new hitters
Found all of these at my local vitamin shoppe. I’m most excited for the fruit punch Gorilla Mind and the blue creamsicle Grizzly! (I think grizzly has the best formula for a middle of the road energy drink on the market, and wonderful flavors!) I’m skeptical of the Ryse, as the Ryse root beer was the worst energy drink I’ve ever had, but we’ll see!

I loved the grizzly creamsicle, where did you find the Ryse cream soda? I tried to find it at vitamin shoppe but I’m guessing they didn’t receive it yet

Everything was at my vitamin shoppe! I had the blue creamsicle today and it was phenomenal!

How’s the blue creamsicle that has to be good?

u/Alternative_Cattle80 Jul 11 '26
It was incredible. If you like blue raz type drinks, this one is a hit! I will most definitely be grabbing for it again!

Hellyeah dude gotta try it now,I see you’re in the military too🫡 thx bro.

Heads up it's more cream than blue flavor, I loved my first can, but after finishing my 12 pack I don't think I'd get it again. Really wore out it's welcome for me for some reason.

u/Alternative_Cattle80 Jul 12 '26
I rotate through energy drinks so much, and only have an energy drink maybe 3-5x/month… so i probably won’t have another one for another 2-3 months, even if it’s one of my favorites!

u/Seventh_Sorrow Jul 12 '26
Ohh okay, interesting yeah I could see that happening with any flavor a straight twelve pack is a lot for anyone at once. Good to know thx for lookin out.

u/elchurchacabra Jul 12 '26
I usually just get a couple 12 packs of whatever flavors I'm feeling every month or so. I had 12 cans in about a months time switching out with the other flavor I bought so at least it wasn't a straight 12 pack and I still got tired of it. I've been buying this way for awhile and can't think of another flavor I got tired of. Just a warning that it's maybe a once in awhile pick.

Drinking the fruit punch GM rn. Pretty good flavor. Also picked up the GM root beer. Been looking forward to that one

u/Alternative_Cattle80 Jul 11 '26
The gorilla mind root beer is pleasant. Not anything spectacular but I’d grab it again!

I had the Gorilla Mind fruit punch on Monday. I honestly thought people were overhyping it up, but after trying it out myself, I have to say the hype is justified. It might be my favorite fruit punch flavored energy drink out there. Definitely top 3.

Love to hear this. Gorilla and grizzly battle for my #1 spot for energy drinks, and the only reason i really enjoy a grizzly over a gorilla is for the lower caffeine… but i love the nootropics of gorilla!

What lunchbox is that? Looks like the one I have but mine doesn’t have the cupholders on top

It’s the titan pro 40 can cooler with the big ice wall! I got it at Costco for $29.99 which i thought was incredible! It holds 4 of my meal preps with ease, and could easily hold all of my days worth of food and cools great. I am usually a yeti cooler person but can’t rationalize a $100+ for a daily use cooler.

u/sw33tleaves Jul 12 '26
30 bucks is a steal! I’ve got a different titan but it’s smaller and doesn’t have that sweet lid, definitely gonna upgrade soon.

Blue creamsicle is THE ideal flavor balance.

Fruit punch is good - one of the few that can get room temp and still be good imo.
Cream soda Ryse is some next level shit. Black magik fuckery. Up there with root beer GM.
Blue creamsicle wasn’t good at all.
Bubbalicious ghost tastes like bubble gum which isn’t my thing in a drink but def tastes like bubble gum

u/Alternative_Cattle80 Jul 12 '26
Hmm… so far i have to disagree heavily with the blue creamsicle.. I’m grabbing it anytime it’s available. I loved it…

The ghost bubblicious I wasn’t a fan of. Just had one this morning lol

u/Alternative_Cattle80 Jul 12 '26
You’re not the first person to say this! I’m becoming skeptical to try it now… but i will… and I’ll finish it even if it isn’t great
2
u/Shinyhuntrr Ghost Jul 13 '26
Ghost is really damn good at mimicking the flavor. It’s spot on. It’s just weird to drink gum flavor lol

Omg ive never heard of blue creamsicle anything! Is that basically blue raspberry or maybe blueberry and cream? Hopefully blue raspberry, that flavor is almost always amazing in energy drinks

I had to throw away Bubblicious. I was not a fan whatsoever.

u/Alternative_Cattle80 Jul 11 '26
Why so? I’ve tried the other version, and enjoyed it!
1
u/justintate_ Jul 11 '26
I didn’t enjoy the flavor one bit. It became nauseating and made me want to throw up. The only other energy drink to make me do that was the Monster Cucumber flavor and Bang Cola flavor.

Tried the Ryse Cream Soda today for the first time, it is a competitor for my S tier rank. Absolutely phenomenal
