Has anyone who has drank Monster tried this and how are they alike and different?

Also wanted to add what might be obvious, but might not. Monster (at least all of the flavors that I have tried) are carbonated and basically similar to soda. This is not carbonated and is much more like drinking juice. I find the Strawberry Banana OK tasting. Doesn't really taste like Strawberry or Banana, but also doesn't taste like vegetable juice either. I strongly prefer a soda energy drink, I just tried this because it was juice - but a closer examination shows that it is only 50% juice, so not as healthy as one might think. I will keep looking.

3 weeks ago this was 12.84$ form Amazon. I believe these sellers are gouging.

How much caffiene per can?

It contains green tree extract with natural caffeine. I don't see where it lists the exact amount. The label shows 20% B12 and 20% B6. It doesn't give you the jitters like a one hour energy shot. I just don't feel sleepy after drinking. I love these drinks. I've become somewhat of an addict because I'm always tired. I usually drink one can in the morning and another can in the afternoon.

To manufacturers: why did you have to ruin this with a toxic artificial sweetener??

For all of you saying what artificial sweetner…SUCRALOSE IS AN ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER aka Splenda. And it is VERY TOXIC! Sucralose is made from sugar in a multistep chemical process in which three hydrogen-oxygen groups are replaced with chlorine atoms. The worst sweeteners are artificial sweeteners, such as sucralose, saccharin, and aspartame. These sweeteners are manufactured in a lab, meaning they’re not found in nature. While research considers them “generally regarded as safe,” inconclusive research shows evidence suggesting they’re not a healthy option and can even promote weight gain in the long run.
