Woodmans, a Wisconsin-Illinois grocery chain, has pretty much every brand and flavor here. This one is the Bloomingdale location.

$24 with a coupon, not bad

Ok good morning yall im not sure who the tren twins are so im gonna look them up. Ok so they’re those roided up dudes on Instagram and the “tren” in tren twins was actually what i thought it was. Ok then. I always forget that a lot of these energy drink brands also make workout supplements too so sometimes I’ll see like a ghost protein bar or something and be like wtf. Ok let’s get onto the taste. This tastes like those ICEE squeeze candies man. Wow I actually can’t believe I just remembered those but this drink hit me with a nostalgia feeling like that scene in ratito… wait I can’t spell it… rattitooi… ratitoui… ratittoui… I just had to look it up and I was nowhere close lol. It’s like that scene in ratatouille (yeah no way I was getting that) where that food critic tries that dish that people commonly refer to as ratatouille and has this visceral flashback to him as a child. Not that those ICEE squeezes were my favorite candy but I just remember trying one and for the first time I was like ok maybe too much sugar is a bad thing. This drink is very sour and really coats the whole surface of your mouth. The taste finds its way into crevices I’ve never addressed before and the flavor itself doesn’t mask much. The flavor turns into more of a texture after 1 second and the drink becomes something you kind of have to tell yourself to swallow. Idk if that makes sense but swallowing doesn’t feel intuitive with this. Maybe it’s just your brain going “dude what the hell are you drinking right now.” I can’t say I hate it and I can’t say I like it. To be honest I can’t form much of an opinion on this because it’s just not normal. It’s a bit more of an experience than a drink and I’m not saying that in a positive or negative way. It’s hard to imagine the… oh my god I just took a big sip and had to stop typing cus it just hit me so hard… but it’s hard to imagine the tren twins drinking this and doing reps. Actually idk cus I don’t know those guys and only found out who they were like 5 minutes ago. Yeah I don’t know man now my stomach hurts and my mouth is in a state where if I drank water I may throw up.

4/10

Have y’all ever had these?

I’ve never seen nor heard of them until today.

My $1 Ryse pickup at GNC! What’s your favorite flavor? I personally never had a Ryse so I’m excited!

I'm putting this here because im imagining there's a big overlap between loving/needing energy drinks and this new type of depression variant.

if you
•sleep longer than normal people
•are still tired in the morning as soon as you wake up
•are really effected by the lack of sun in winter
•are a night owl
•dont respond well to SSRIs

there's a few more details. the paper is linked.

I heard about this yesterday and it felt like it described my experience perfectly.

I don’t taste any vanilla!

EDIT: upon actually tasting the vanilla, I am actually more disappointed. This sucks. The vanilla tastes like it doesn’t belong. Trash/10.

I’m a huge fan of these two, and the Kirkland one is outstanding for the price ($0.75 per can). But Ghost Peaches has a stronger peach flavor which is solid because I mix a can of seltzer with it and stretch it further.

The only other one I’ve had was G-Fuel and I think it had Sonic on the can. Wasn’t a fan of that one though because it seemed too “candied”, which is fair because I think it’s modeled after the peach ring candy.

What other brands of Peach are good?

Oh MANN!!! We never have ghost over here in ireland (at least not where i am), but im in dublin this morning and stopped at Circle K to see if they have any Monsters i usually can't get. Punk punch.... but alas.

Scored an awesome Ghost tho!!! I have always wanted to try cherry limeaid

And im not a big warheads guy. I like the strawbango the best. Sipping the warhead black cherry rn and playing manhunt for Xbox.

limit of 6 per customer as long as you have an account, pretty good deal couldn’t pass it up.

Grabbed every RYSE flavor my store had other then the fruit punch kool-aid one cause I was scared of it tasting like medicine as most fruit punch ones end up tasting like to me!!

This is actually really oddly good!

Not what I was expecting? Mostly just artificial strawberry with a little vanilla. I’ll finish the can but id choose a redbull over this next time.

Been running up the Lucky pack I got, but I had one of these left, and I knew it was time for it. The ghosts hit different, and strawbango is no exception. Just great. Maybe even in my top 10, and I have a lot of different cans in my taste profile…

Which flavors is everyone planning on picking up and which flavors have you found and which ones havent you found at locations near you?

Never had any of these flavors so it's a first.

God bless GNC. Got the bums for 1$ each and got a 10$ credit on the app cause im a new user so the other 7 ryse/ghosts was like a dollar

First time having ryse and bum too. Dr Bum tastes pretty legit, its a shame they sold out of a lot of the flavors i was trying to find

Very good if you see it in your area

My new overflow cabinet for my energy drinks that won’t fit in the fridge……. still have an unopened case of witches brew and half a variety pack of Alani.

Anyone else mixed these before working out?

as a rootbeer lover who was disappointed by ghost.. this is the best alternative i've tried. i love IBC or bargs for the sharp flavor and this nails it pretty close.

It doesn’t taste like the energy drink duh but it taste pretty good. At least good enough for me and it has the caffeine. The beta alanine. Etc so it’s beneficial for me
