Monster Heavy Metal

Welcome back, trusty reader! We've updated the site's look, and we have a lot more ideas we're working on at the moment! Let us know what you think!

Earlier this year, Monster released Heavy Metal to their already expanding lineup of products. Heavy Metal is a limited edition drink and may already be out of production. Luckily, I stocked up on the stuff when it came out, and have had several experiences with their new product. Now mind you, this is not one of those weak, low caffeine, energy drinks that are marketed mainly toward young children that carry energy drinks with their cell phones and Hannah Montana merchandise in an attempt to look cool. So those of you that fall under this category should step back and let the true fans of caffeine have a go at this stuff. This hardcore drink has a toxic, bright green color and a very strong taste (rumors have it the drink is just bottled byproducts of oil refineries). The first sips might have you rethink your purchase, as it’s somewhat metallic and industrial tasting. If your throat hasn’t dissolved after the first few sips, you’re good to go and can enjoy the rest. Now, as for the kick this gives, look out! The first time I finished the 32oz Heavy Metal – same size as the Monster BFC (I’ll let you figure out what BFC stands for, but here’s a hint: B is for Big and C is for Can) – I got fairly wired. A quart of liquid and 320mg of caffeine (remember, caffeine’s a diuretic) didn’t exactly add to my comfort level either. According to my peers, I resembled a monkey with ADD during this incident, but some of my twitching was bladder related, not from the caffeine – I was on the highway and I had to wait quite a bit for the next rest stop, give me a break! I have had Heavy Metal since, and find it very helpful when I need a big kick anytime during the day. If you like energy drinks for the kick, and not just to look trendy, Monster Heavy Metal will not disappoint you, and if it does, who knows? Maybe it will double as a paint stripper too!
