You're right, usually they all taste pretty bad. Reason I ask everyone is because I like to find the ones that taste best with a good kick in energy.
I hardly need an energy drink to get through my day, but there are days where I'm just dead tired and lacking any kind of energy and I'll stop by the closest gas station for a fix to get me through the rest of my day.
I don't think these energy drinks will ever replace regular coffee for me. I much prefer a good cup of coffee or latte before a lot of these overly sweet energy drinks. Not to mention, I love the taste of coffee so much more.
