Favorite COLD beverage?

Monster Energy drinks again. I started drinking them again recently. I'm way, way, way more productive when I drink them, although I know they're unhealthy.

I hardly drink anything cold any more. I used to only like drinking soda and stuff cold but now I don't care either way, which is funny.

It's funny you say that...

My 1st favorite is Gatorade (lemon lime - really cold. I keep my fridge STACKED... it's time to go shopping again so aside from what's in the door, I only have a few scattered in the actual fridge part. It's usually pack3d w a cpl packs stashed aside to put in the fridge when there's room.



2nd is dunkin donuts iced hazelnut coffee - I just started buying the big bottles of the cold brew concentrate so I can save a little money and just make it here to take out w me instead of buyng it every day.

I DO LOVE trying different energy drinks... some monster. I NEED a lot of caffeine though, I get bad headaches

Here's what I have right now: lol but I won't lie, SOME are just to keep the cans.






The Starbucks tripleshot energy I got to try....as a Dunkin substitute when I don't have any. It was okay but it is 225 MG caffeine so good for a quick headache relief
The GFUEL pacman cherry lollipop - I got 2. 1 to actually taste cuz I love cherry and the 2nd for the can.
The GFUEL Sonic peach rings is just for the can though peach is my 2nd fave flavor after cherry.
The MONSTER hydro energy water - purple passion - I got 1 to try and 1 to keep the bottle - made me think back to the Purple Passion liquor I used to drink as a kid. The Rockstar punched - I've been getting for years. I love it.
The BIG GAME energy drink I got because it's cotton candy - another flavor I love. The cinnamon toast Crunch iced coffee and Twinkies iced latte - I have to try. It looks good. Lol I love cinnamon toast crunch + just curious how the twinkie will taste. The VENOM energy original - I got just for the can. I LOVE snakes. The VENOM fruit punch is to try.
The MONSTER cosmic peach energy nitro is to try. I love peach. The MONSTER cold brew latte nitro Infused coffee - I got 2 to try. Sounds really good and I've been buying a lot of diff "cold brew" stuff to make at home. Just bought Nescafe ICE ROAST. It's for "instant" iced coffee. I drink Nescafe Tasters Choice as my every day morning coffee so had to try it.

I used to be a big HOT coffee drinker - for over 20 years but recently preferring iced now. It doesn't quench my thirst like the Gatorade but is cold - and has CAFFIENE.

OH... ALMOST FORGOT. I also keep a BUNCH of these in my freezer then move a cpl to my fridge to defrost a bit when I'm wanting one. I LOVE cherry and these are SO good when it's over 90 out.

Damn, that's a lot of different drinks!

I've only tried a few of the energy drinks. 4 different ones I think. I like Monster the best. Even Monster though I've only tried a few different flavors.

I need energy. I walk at least 4-6 hours a day, EVERY day, no matter the weather + Caffeine doesn't give me energy, I just love coffee that I get really bad headaches if I don't have a certain amount every day. I have more diff kinds of coffee than the energy drinks, I think.



Yea..I have a problem. And even more teas as emergency caffeine.

Glad to move all these off the "coffee bar" so I can wash it down instead of around this all.

Forgot 1, i usually have the hazelnut too but finished it.

It would take me forever to get through all that lol. I buy a 12 pack of energy drinks and when I get low I buy another.

I usually buy 4-5 12 packs of the gatorade a month. Coffee - I usually just buy 1 jar instant for a month- that's my regular groceries as far as coffee and cold drinks. I order most my groceries from Walmart.
I usually go to the dollar tree and grocery store on the same day (not same day as Walmart order) - I wait cuz sometimes at the last minute b4 they deliver something was "not available" so I'll get what wasn't while at the other stores and then whatever catches my eye as far as caffiene/ energy. All those energy drinks, monster .. was all a buck at dollar tree. It's rare to find Starbucks or anything like that for a dollar. The coffee stuff I get at the grocery store ... usually it's something I never saw before or was on sale.

I am down to just 1 serving of my Dunkin Cold brew and my coffee mate hazlenut cream. I used to hate liquid cream/milk cuz the idea if adding COLD to my hot coffee didn't appeal. I buy the big things of the powder coffee matebut now that I'm barely drinking hot coffee anymore I been buying the coffee mate liquid. Just stopped at my store and got the DUO (vanilla and caramel) - to try but it's nearly $6 for 32 oz so went on Walmart to add a bunch for my shopping this week and saw this - I'm not a pink girl but like most the reviews say - I'm buying it solely outta curiosity but reading the reviews is entertaining. I love strawberry milk - don't really care for pink frosting and not a fan of fruity in my coffee either so not sure I'm gonna like this. Check it out... what's your opinion? Sound gross? Curious? Lol

I don't know that I've ever had creamer so I don't know what it normally tastes like or tastes like in coffee. Strawberry coffee though, not sure I'd like that.

Yea .I didn't end up getting it. Sounds gross. If I want strawberry milk, I'll just get that.

Saw this rust today and I have to say...it's disgusting. I got it before. I thought it'd be good but was nasty.



I did see another kind I never tried yet... one of those Victor Allen iced coffees in Breyers Cookies and cream. I got one.. to try.

I discovered creamer in jail. I grew up w milk... that's what my mother always put in her coffee but in jail .. no fridges lol ..so they sold powdered creamer for people's coffee. That's when I got hooked on coffee. It makes coffee taste SO different than milk. Very creamy and delicious
They used to sell 'stingers" for heating up the water... I'm gonna see if I can find a picture cuz they stopped selling those in there years ago.

Wow. I can't find one picture of the stingers they sold in canteen/commissary but I find a bunch of how we made them

I noticed that a coffee flavor looks like it would be good and then it's not. I had bought a variety pack of different k-cup's and there were 40 flavors and some I thought for sure would taste good didn't.
