...and it tastes like crap. I won't lie.

Anybody know if it's worth the $8 i just paid for a 4 pack?

I never liked energy drinks, they all kinda had the same metallic taste. $8 for a 4 pack isn't horrible, but a friend of mine gets his for $5 for a 3 pack in Philadelphia.

I would have to agree im not a fan of red bull either it does taste funny...not sure if it taste like crap as ive never tasted that but it does have a certain funky taste to it.

the best tasting energy drink I have drunk that works is 'V'.

Tastes like they took gummy bears and sauteed them with urine and 3 year old McDonalds.

Working street corners are we?

I didn't care too much for red bull. I liked the other ones like Monster. Rockstar doesn't taste too good either. I can't remember what brand it is, but there's a cheap brand that sells their cans for 88 cents, and are the size of monster energy drinks.

Nick....you're not paying for taste. It's all about results.

The real question here is did you get $8 worth of energy (assuming you drank them all).

How many people drink coffee for the taste?

Definitely worth it when you're up late working, ignore the taste - redbull throws a massive kick. Advise against more than 2 - start shaking hehe.

eh, I think people look for taste as a side note. I mean, you aren't going to drink something that may have the taste of arse.

I don't mind the taste when it's mixed with Vodka or Jaeger.
