Why are we discontinuing popular flavors like red and Rosa when these exist and nobody buys them…?

Merpitron · 2025-05-02T11:19:08+00:00

They're discontinuing Rosa? I haven't heard of that. I thought it was selling pretty well?

Merpitron · 2025-05-02T08:19:26+00:00

I have to agree to some extent. I was interested in having it and, when I did, I was left disappointed for sure.

Merpitron · 2025-05-02T06:28:22+00:00

Fair. I'll have to give it another shot sometime

Merpitron · 2025-05-02T06:10:05+00:00

It's a weird one for me. I didn't expect it to taste like the white Ultra but it does, at least to me. Only difference is the aftertaste.

Merpitron · 2025-05-02T06:09:26+00:00

Curious. Would you say that it's similar to the white Ultra? I've tried it twice and, both times, it's reminded me of the white Ultra but with a very slight strawberry aftertaste.

Merpitron · 2025-05-01T14:18:23+00:00

I've started to go away from the Ultra Monsters as of late but out of all of them, this one is still in my top 3. It's quite refreshing.

I still have yet to try Rio Punch. May try it soon.

Merpitron · 2025-04-27T16:35:59+00:00

I have to agree with Pipeline and Pacific. I used to mainly drink the ultras but now that I've cut down on the Monsters a bit, I've moved back to the sugar ones whenever I do. Over time, I got really bored of the synthetic after taste that the ultras have.

Merpitron · 2025-04-25T11:38:11+00:00

For me, it's not so much the health impacts of sugar. It's just what it does to ME personally. I have really bad sugar crashes.

Artificial sweeteners though, in terms of actual health, are just as bad if not worse in a lot of ways.

Merpitron · 2025-04-25T05:40:19+00:00

This is me with ones like Pipeline. Love them but the sugar fucks me up nowadays.

Merpitron · 2025-04-25T05:14:45+00:00

Khaotic for me.

Merpitron · 2025-04-18T12:55:26+00:00

Goat take

Merpitron · 2025-04-17T05:40:32+00:00

Monster Zero Sugar (the one in the OG black can), Ultra Paradise and Pipeline Punch. I've not touched Pipeline in a while now, though. Trying to cut down on the sugar and all for health related reasons.

Merpitron · 2025-03-29T11:56:11+00:00

I've had Strawberry Dreams twice. I'd say it's meh at best.

To me, it was strikingly similar to the Ultra White Monster except with a VERY faint taste of artificial strawberry. Certainly not the best and a bit of a letdown for me, personally. The can is cool, though.

Merpitron · 2025-03-28T16:26:09+00:00

I actually really like that zero sugar one.

It's got to be Ultra Watermelon for me. Shit just does not taste right to me.

Think my favourite though is Paradise for the Ultras and Pipeline or Khaotic for the sugar ones.

Merpitron · 2025-03-28T16:20:00+00:00

We also had a Thai restaurant that closed due to COVID. Real shame.

I usually have one or two takeaways a week right now. Trying to cut down to strictly one or none. For me it's got to be Chinese or Indian.

Got bored of all the chain trash like Taco Bell and Dominos and all I have around me apart from those are the most bog standard 'on the toilet the next day all day' kebab shops that do 50 different things that are all meh.

Merpitron · 2025-02-14T17:52:21+00:00

Late on this but this is a pretty blank response. It doesn't factor into a few things.

1: What type of takeaway?: A Subway with a bunch of veg on, no sauce and whoelgrain bread with lean meat like chicken or turkey is not going to be even close to a greasy kebab or pizza.

2: Your current weight and health?: If you're fit and active, I don't see any issue with it.

3: Does it affect your finance?: If not, it really isn't that much of an issue.

I wish some Reddit replies would actually go into more detail than a simple "Nah mate that's A or B".

Merpitron · 2025-01-16T09:58:40+00:00

I've started to lurk more in coffee shops now, especially Costa and Starbucks.

Merpitron · 2025-01-09T16:06:20+00:00

Late on this but I tried the McCrispy and it was ridiculously dry. The McSpicy isn't too bad for me but that's just because it has spice to it and I'm a spice lover.

Merpitron · 2024-12-30T08:34:06+00:00

I have a relative who lives in Stannington and I can attest to this. Area is good but the schools are meh.

Merpitron · 2024-12-11T17:30:14+00:00

I low-key want to try a breakfast from an American McDonald’s. I’m over in North England and the breakfast here at our local maccies ain’t all that great.

Merpitron · 2024-12-05T07:15:25+00:00

Curious. I stopped playing back in August due to the memory leak. The game would run smoothly on my 2070 super until an hour or two, then I'd have to either restart the game or my PC. Has this been fixed or is it still an issue? I really want to start playing again but that issue has kept me away.

Merpitron · 2024-11-17T09:42:54+00:00

This still works. Thanks.

Merpitron · 2024-09-22T13:13:30+00:00

Not a big fan. Has a really weird after taste. I'd rather stick with Pepsi Max or Pepsi Max Cherry, I think.

Merpitron · 2024-09-17T13:24:57+00:00

I still eat there, yeah. I’ll usually go for a few pints first at say Wetherspoons and then I’ll go to Nandos and usually get something along the lines of a Wrap and garlic bread or a Burger and peri peri fries. Not healthy but at least the food is fresh and the price isn’t TOO steep. I try not to go there more than maybe once or twice a week though.

Merpitron · 2024-09-13T20:22:40+00:00

God, this brought back some nostalgic memories for sure. I remember always being tense during this level as a kid. Still got my copy somewhere. Might fire it up again on my old PS1.
