![]() ![]() Last week as I disturbingly became aware of the acts of treason commited by Rockstar Energy & Pepsico, I made my way back to the uni-mart yesterday. Grateful, I replied in my then ignorance, that as long as he kept these in stock, then we'd be seeing each other often. As I carefully carried his last 6 cans of rockstar original in my arms from the refrigerator to the counter, the kind man grinning says to me, if I ever needed anything to just let him know and he'd happily get it in stock for me. I met a nice store clerk who runs the uni-mart at an Exxon I had only just stumbled upon a week prior to finding out about the blasphemous treachery of PepsiCo after not being able to find my beloved at any of the usual joints. However, all of the stores I know of between Trenton & Philadelphia, I've either bought out, they've been out of stock for weeks, or are now getting in the new formula. My sons father and my current partner feel really bad, they say they can't imagine seeing me without a rockstar in hand and promised to buy up any old cans they come across, which is really nice. The people in my life try to understand but, unless you've experienced it, it just sounds ridiculous. I have a wife and kids and parents and siblings but, they dont get it. All this time I thought I was alone in this world. Thats what made me go to Google to investigate and on Google was where I found the link to this thread. I didnt think anybody else ever bought them until they were completely sold out for 2 weeks. $5 for a 4 pack and every once in a while they will have a 10 for $10 sale. ![]() Pay Less (the Kroger owned local grocery store chain) has always been where I get the best price though. The gas station down the street didnt even carry Rockstar until I asked them to. I have been on FB more in the last 3 days than I have in the last 3 years, just to bitch about this amongst like minded people I also went to Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. Same here, I have sent multiple emails on the website, complaining about the new formula and wanting the old formula back. So why would that work with a New Rockstar. Even though I hate the new flavor i saw 1 or 2 who like it. I thought they saw what happened to Coke with new Coke being bad even if it was better it has memories an loyalty to familiarity. I started drinking Rockstar in 04 (or 06 latest) an definitely don't remember it being like this.ĪlmostToShyToPost listed ingredients difference below, I don't know much about it, but definitely different, heh.ĮDIT Patereddit7 posted a link to tell Pepsi what you think: who bought Rockstar? An why do they hate it? now question is WHY!? If it ain't broke don't fix it. Thanks if anyone knows an my bad if it's just me, □ĮDIT: Looks like it isn't just me. Says it expires "Dec 20 2021" can looks different too, but says Rockstar energy drink original. Overall, a very well executed product that’s our favorite female targeted energy drink to date.It tastes different, an I am wondering if it's a bad batch or a change or just me? Functionally, the drink contains B vitamins, caffeine (120mg), taurine, and ginseng – so expect this drink to pack a punch that’s on par with other Rockstar products. The flavor is a berry citrus flavor, with moderate levels of sweetness and carbonation making for a clean and crisp drinking experience. Inside the can, the zero sugar formulation (it does have 10 calories – presumably from the added juice) is quite pleasant, drinking like a mellow diet CSD rather than an energy drink. Still, it’s pretty obvious who this drink is for. There’s no mention of it being for women – you won’t even find the word “Pink” on the can. Rockstar Pink, on the other hand, seems to hit the nail on the head, starting with a clean pink can that even includes an attached straw (so you don’t smear your lipstick). ![]() ![]() We’ve seen a lot of energy drinks attempt to target the female demographic, but most fall flat by using branding that borders on patronizing. ![]()
