FeedsMonster Mixxd

I first saw a can of Monster Mixxd at Speedway a few days ago. The same Speedway where I first saw Monster M-80. The same one that sadly no longer carries Monster M-80. I was sick earlier this week, so I wanted to save it for when I was feeling better. I've been looking forward to drinking this all week.
You may or may not know, I love Monster Energy drinks. The original Monster Energy is a classic, and Monster M-80 is my favorite drink of all time. I can never get enough of the M-80. So, I had high hopes for this new Monster as it is also in the "Energy+Juice" category like my beloved M-80. Though, this one is only 30% juice as opposed to 80%.
I cracked open the can and took a smell. Bad idea, was gross, yet familiar. Took a sip. Worse idea. This stuff is horrid. I've since taken about 6 sips over the last 20 minutes thinking maybe the taste would grow on me. It's not. I have determined it smells kinda like a rum and Coke. One made with really crappy well rum.
If you like Monster or M-80, I'd recommend sticking with those, don't waste your money on this one. It's exciting to see a new Monster on the shelves, but this one just doesn't live up to the name. Speedway, please bring back the M-80!!

Can't say I've really ever had the pleasure of a monster...

You should fix that and buy one. You won't regret the decision.

I was searching online for mixxd to see what other people thought of it and I agree. M-80 is the best drink ever. Mixxd is horrid. I tried it about a week ago. It has so many different taste it kind of shocked the system. Pecan pie, prunes and... something else I cant quite recall. Me and my friend tried it at the same time and bounced about 15 different flavors back and forth. All in all, I hope it's gone soon. Have you tried "Heavy Metal" in the BFC? Side note: M-80 needs to be in the BFC. I usually buy lost 50-50 if I need to buy a really big one. I get to jacked up on normal monster.

oh yeah, notice that mixxd and the new coffee flavors are not on the official site. Maybe they even think it sucks.

Glad to see a fellow Monster drinker commenting. If M-80 was in the BFC, I would be in heaven. I haven't tried the Heavy Metal yet as I haven't really heard anything about it. And $4 for a can of it is a lot of money considering it could be shitty like Mixxd.

I like all the monsters that Ive had except for this mixxd. I think its grape flavor but, its pretty gross. It tastes like it should have alcohol in it. Maybe mix some vodka in it and it would be doable.
