I always get the original monster energy drink they definitely give me the pep I need to make it through the day having four kids it is not extremely healthy for you it does have a lot of sugar and a lot of caffeine but if you need a quick pick me up I do recommend this they are kind of pricey I feel like but they're a must-have for me Kayla · walmart.com
