Ever want something so savagely that the need for it rang in your ears, clouded your sight, and saturated your tongue with a flavor so ambrosial that it almost paralyzes you?
It’s a wonderful feeling, and that’s exactly how my relationship with Monster Khaos might get me kicked out of the coffee-drenched city of Seattle. I needed something to get me through my day because I tend to run on 2-3 hours of sleep, but I’m not a coffee person, never really have been, and probably won’t ever invest in a coffee maker.
I experimented with other energy drinks, and various caffeine pills, but I couldn’t decide on anything worthwhile. Then, by the grace of a good friend, I was introduced to Monster Khaos. I started questioning my ENTIRE EXISTENCE after that first 16 oz. can. Everything after that, couldn’t compare. Not that I tried to. Monster Khaos stole my heart.
I kid you not, when I tell you that I buy these suckers by the case. (Pricing varies depending on where you live, and what stores want to stock on their shelves. I buy my cans in bulk at our neighborhood Safeway, which makes it out to be about $2.00 a can.) It’s not a very cheap addiction, but it kickstarts my heart (like that? see what I did there? Motley Crue style?), and makes me feel like I can run laps around my apartment complex, screaming at the top of my lungs about how much I love this aluminum can of pure magic. Part of the reason I was drawn towards Monster Khaos, and not the other flavors was the fact that it was a “juice”, meaning it wasn’t as bitter as the other drinks seemed to be. In fact, I don’t really think it’s bitter at all. It does have it’s “omfg too sweeeeeet!” moments, but those are pretty rare. I’ve become associate with it, and I’m pretty sure that when I die, I’ll have a can in my hand.
My friends, and even my coworkers know just how addicted I am to what seems like a gift from Energy Drink heaven to me.
Khaos is an explosive mixture of apple, orange, tangerine, peach, pineapple, and white grape juice concentrates, power-packed with ginseng (an herbal plant with vitamins and minerals to help keep the body balanced and energized), B-vitamins (said to be one of the most important vitamins for giving you the energy you need to work all day. B complex helps metabolize carbohydrates, the body and brain’s main source of fuel) sugar, caffeine and energy blends. For me, the flavor that stands out the most, is the peach-citrusy jolt that I get when it first coats my tongue. It also reminds me of a melted popsicle stick, only not as messy. I don’t notice much of an aftertaste, if there’s one at all. If I had to describe it, I’d say it tasted like victory.
Drink up, but make sure you’re strapped in.
Monster Khaos is one helluva ride.
(and remember to save one for me!)
I’m drinking one right now. I like to have mine later in the day so that I can stay up later. I find that if I drink it around breakfast time that I crash later and can’t handle another one. Two a day messes up my system. It was the juice part of it that drew me to it and away from Red Bull.
