Original Energy 16oz 12pk

After not being able to find these easily at big box stores, I ended up ordering them on Amazon, and I’m glad I did. I’ve been drinking Rockstar for about 15 years at this point, so it’s a hard habit to break, and it’s nice to have a reliable way to keep them stocked. I’m a working adult, but I still like the taste, and I need something to help me stay focused during the day. I also like knowing exactly how much caffeine I’m getting, which feels more consistent than coffee, where it can vary quite a bit. The price on Amazon made it a solid deal compared to what I’ve seen in stores, especially when they’re hard to find locally. The cans arrived in good condition with no dents or leaks. Overall, this is a convenient and cost-effective way to keep something I already use regularly on hand. I’ll keep ordering it this way.

Great tasting and gives me the caffeine boost I need! No leakage. And nicely carbonated. You cannot go wrong with an original rockstar.

Absolutely love these drinks.

One of my favorite drinks. It's just unfortunate that the price fluctuates constantly. The drink is definitely good, and gives you energy. I always have some for work.

I love energy drinks. Red Bull, Monster (my favorite), and Rockstar. I just love how they taste, and they do taste very similar. With Rockstar, their taste profile changed a bit over the years. I think I first noticed it some 4 years ago, maybe even a bit before Covid, but you can taste a hint of honey in there. Anyways, they all taste similar enough, and if you like those other brands, you'll like this too. As far as "ENERGY", since I consume so much caffeine, none of these really have an effect on me. I just consume these for the taste. For the price, it seems to me Monster is offered cheaper most often. Redbull always has a premium. This sits right in the middle. Anyways, get it if you find it on sale.

I haven't had pure guarana soda for years. I've managed to find it a few times in the states over the years, but it's hard to find. When reviews started mentioning that it tasted more fruity, and I love me some rockstar, I decided to get some of this new "original" flavor. When I popped the can open I was greeted with a familiar smell. It smelled very strongly of guarana. Drinking a little bit .. well, it's a slight bit sweeter than a typical guarana soda drink (it tastes more like the guarana powder drink mixes), but I like it. I could always barely taste the guarana in the original flavor through the pungent bite, so I'm pleased that they either punched that flavor up quite a bit or toned down the ingredient that caused the biting aftertaste and smell (taurine? ginseng?) The only downside, which I'll get used to because I really like guarana, is that I did like the pungent bite that's missing in this new formula. Rockstar had been the only energy drink left that had that, and now it's gone.

EDIT: Rockstar sold out to PepsiCo last March for 3.85 billion dollars and a few months ago PepsiCo decided to reformulate most if not all of the flavors, including Original (and had the audacity to change the cans' graphic to now say "Original"). The new formula is so unbelievably disgusting that there's a change dot org petition going around with thousands of signatures already begging them to change it back. PepsiCo first tried to lie and say they didn't change it then confessed they tweaked the formula according to what the die-hard fans liked (another lie). You can still find the old original formula in some places, there's still stock floating around however, if you see it in this new style can then you know it's the new formula. On top of it tasting like melted cherry chapstick, the calories per can have increased as well. I urge longtime rockstar original fans to grab and stock up if they come across the old style cans, including the cyberpunk cans. The old OG formula is 250 calories per can and the new one is 270 iirc, so that's one more way to know if you're looking at old or new. The skinny 12 oz cans calories went from 190 to 210. Good luck and lets push PepsiCo to change it back! Best flavor is original, hands down and if you're addicted like i am and constantly running to all of your local and some not so local stores trying to find sales, these usually will be closest to the best sale prices you can find anywhere else and you can save more through their subscribe & save by getting auto delivery. They usually come out to $1.50 each but, I've seen them on sale for lower recently, so keep checking if you don't get auto delivery. Having them delivered to my door saves me a lot of time, money & gas trying to look for good deals in stock in store. They always run out if the orginal flavor the fastest and it's so annoying. Until i kick my 4 rockstar a day habit, I will continue buying from here, as long as they don't jump up in price.

My go to energy drink, I’ve got a subscription for this so that I’m never without! Literally have to have one every day, I’m addicted! Love these and the test is just so crisp and clean it’s way more refreshing and tastes better than any other energy drink I’ve tried! I honestly couldn’t live without this stuff!♥️
