V8Energy Black Cherry Energy Drink, 8 fl oz Can (6 Pack)

Q: Has anyone who has drank Monster tried this and how are they alike and different?

Also wanted to add what might be obvious, but might not. Monster (at least all of the flavors that I have tried) are carbonated and basically similar to soda. This is not carbonated and is much more like drinking juice. I find the Strawberry Banana OK tasting. Doesn't really taste like Strawberry or Banana, but also doesn't taste like vegetable juice either. I strongly prefer a soda energy drink, I just tried this because it was juice - but a closer examination shows that it is only 50% juice, so not as healthy as one might think. I will keep looking.

Q: Why are these hard to get now? They are always on back order.

I don't know why but they were a lot cheaper too. I want to reorder but before I was paying about 50 cents a can and now they are over a dollar a can. Supply and demand. I suppose they became popular and everyone started buying, so prices went up and it's hard to get them. I guess I'll make at home smoothie??

Q: How much caffiene per can?

It contains green tree extract with natural caffeine. I don't see where it lists the exact amount. The label shows 20% B12 and 20% B6. It doesn't give you the jitters like a one hour energy shot. I just don't feel sleepy after drinking. I love these drinks. I've become somewhat of an addict because I'm always tired. I usually drink one can in the morning and another can in the afternoon.
