None of those do anything for me. I rotate the following:

Coffee
Green tea
Ice water
Starbucks Doubleshots

I really like the NRG slurpees that you can get at Cumberland Farms. They're delicious, but they only work as energy drinks in that there's a pound of sugar and caffeine in them (no fancy taurine or anything. Green Monster is also good, along with some of the brands that show up in the job lot stores like Tasmanian Rage and Von Dutch. Purple Monster is the worst thing ever.

I've tried them all.

Honestly, I find redbull works the best.

Monster tastes the best though. Monster's 2nd.

My personal favorite (after Coffee) is Venom. I've found I don't crash so hard when it wears off.

Redbull works the best for me, but its so expensive compared to the same volume of Monster or Rockstar

My favorites are:
Diet/Sugarfree Rockstar (gives me the most energy)
Blue Monster(tastes better, but gives less energy) and of course, Red Bull. (good energy, good flavor, just more expensive)

Most of the others taste awful.
Low-carb Full Throttle and sugar free Full Throttle also get an honorable mention.

I like NOS, amp, full throttle (especially the now-gone blue agave flavor!), and some stuff called burn that i had in costa rica

the worst i've ever had was shark... it was like a chalky red bull if you can imagine that.

but for the best kick i'll get a java monster... if i'm running nothing else will do... if im not running i'll be shaking for an hour or so

Iced lemon juice used to do it for me, mostly from the shock of drinking something so intense.

I prefer the taste of Rockstar, but it does nothing for me in terms of energy. Nor do any energy drink and coffee/tea taste nasty.

I find most energy drinks have a specific aspect of their flavor that's constant and that I don't particularly like. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Bawls, which tastes very good IMO. That being said, energy drinks, caffeine, etc. seem to have no effect on me, so I can't vote based on effectiveness.

Beaver Buzz, the Saskatoon Berry flavour. Tastes great, but like all other energy drinks has no effect on me.

Red Bull

I find none of them really work for me but monster and rockstar give me heart palpitations which scare me awake..

I love the size of the redbull, also rockstar has a nasty yet good taste..

BUT MONSTER TASTE DISGUSTING, yet I buy them anyways..

Yes, one makes you appear feminine and the other a dude.
