    seems like you can't really go wrong, no matter where you are 😎
  • @GeorgeJapan
    Hats off to both Harry and Joe. I would have a heart attack if I drank that much.
  • The standard ones do come in multiple sizes in the UK. You can get 250ml (usually sold in bars for Jägerbombs) and they also do a "Mega Monster" which is the standard one but in the resealable 553ml can like the Ultra. Also, we used to have Lo-Carb and Rehab in the UK, but Lo-Carb was merged with Absolutely Zero/zero sugar, and Rehab was discontinued.

    As an enthusiast of the Java Monster line, I'm highly jealous of the UK's Espresso line. I've only been able to find 3 of the US's Java flavors, I wonder if the others are limited time or only sold in certain stores or even certain states. My favorite's Loca Mocha, a pretty standard mocha flavor. There's also Mean Bean, which is vanilla- not bad, I'm just not big on vanilla coffee. Generally, you can find these at any store. The only other flavor I've been able to find, I only found at a single store, a 5 Below. It was a "nitro brew" black coffee flavor. Apparently nitro brewing = better texture, but I was too distracted by the horrendous taste of artificial sweeteners to notice. So much for "black coffee".
  • As soon as I saw the title, I knew I'd be seeing Joe in agony just thinking about all the caffeine he'd be drinking
  • @tyfi655
    As much as I loved the Japan and India series, I'm glad to see Harry again!
  • They sell the 46 cans here in Ireland at Mr Price, I never knew they were limited but i remember them tasting really bad. They also had the espresso monster and it was really nice, sooooo smooth. Zero sugar is still my go to, nice and smooth flavour with no sugar.
  • The age limit in the UK is 16. It was first introduced as recommended thing. But I believe it was around 2018/2019, a law was actually passed that stores are legally required to check the challenge 25 rule. Which means if an individual looks under 25 they must be asked for ID first. Though not all stores bother or care as most 16 year olds don't carry ID. My store does because if we fail to challenge ID, then we, as the workers, can be fined if caught failing to correctly apply challenge 25. I'm personally glad that this rule wasn't around when I was 16 because I was drinking energy drinks around the age of 14 XD
  • 5:10 I love the fact that Harry shaked his energy drink in the same manner as one does while tasting or sampling wine who wants to experience and understand the wine as much as possible. It cracked me up so bad 🤣
  • I've actually tracked down and tried almost all the US Monster flavors. I don't quite know why I like them. When I drink it, it's like I know it tastes like I'm drinking cleaning fluid, but I also kind of like it. I don't know, I love trying weird and odd flavored drinks. Energy drinks definitely have their own unique vibe.
  • @King-Sub-Zero
    Dont forget about the Monster Dragon tea ones. I'm not a huge fan of the dragon tea Monsters but im still a fan of Monster regardless.
  • In Poland we have got recently the Reserve series! i can't find anywhere the White Pineapple but i did try already the Watermelon flavor! Also noticed they finally added the Zero Sugar and also the Super Fuel Blue Ice(will try them out if i can find one at stores, usually new flavors get sold out stupidly fast). In total there is 28 different monster flavors in Poland :)
  • @harrykersh
    It’s good to be back, although I still have a headache from all that caffeine 🤢
  • @MrMikeJkay
    Harry said we only got 500ml original monster here in the UK but we have a mega original monster too at 550ml which i've only seen in Asda and Morrisons supermarkets 👍🏻
  • @Arii_OnTwitch
    In Canada we have a good mix of both of these, almost all of them from America and a good number of them from the UK (I'm in BC so it might be different, but my friend who now lives in Ontario has the same flavours I have here)
  • @StillMintTea
    They've had more of the flavors in a single day than I had in 3 full months. Here in India, we find a weird mix of both UK and US flavors, and I've tried almost all the flavors available, with maybe 5-8 cans left. My top 3 would be: 1)Monarch 2)Ultra Rosa 3)Pacific Punch
  • @JoeAvella
    This shoot almost killed me. Please enjoy!
  • @ruairi_d
    The food wars team are absolute legends. Love this series.
  • @Jamieb1994
    2:12 - I'm jealous that in the US, some of the cans has the same colour of top that matches the can while in the UK, most of the tops are just silver. Also I do wonder if they'll bring the Aussie Lemonade to the UK as well.
  • @erihitsuki
    Monster carried me through supplementary school and post secondary... This is the first Food Wars episode that got me salivating
