In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of Rip It Stinger MO

The moment you open the can, you're hit with a classic energy drink aroma reminiscent of Monster Energy Original and VENOM BLACK MAMBA. On top of that, a fruity and rich sweetness adds depth. It's hard to believe you get such a luxurious fragrance for just $1...

Rip It Stinger MO
When poured into a glass, the liquid takes on a classic energy drink gold color—not an intense yellow but a more subdued hue. Interestingly, the curved surface of the glass in the photo makes it look even more high-end.

As you bring the glass closer, a gentle, sweet fragrance envelops you. The moment it touches your tongue, the sweet and tangy classic flavor spreads across your palate, lighter than expected, yet well-balanced with the rich aroma.

The texture is not too thick, and the Mogu-Mogu texture (smooth and enveloping texture) isn’t as strong as the scent might suggest. However, the lingering sweetness of the fragrance enhances the overall satisfaction ((o(´∀｀)o))

The flavor profile features the classic sweetness of energy drinks, combined with hints of banana, peach, and apple that leave a pleasant aftertaste.

According to Rip It’s official description, it’s a "tropical fruit flavor."

The sweetness of the fruits adds depth, making it more than just a strong, classic energy drink—it has a well-crafted fruity complexity. Among the many energy drinks I’ve tried, this is one of the most well-balanced and refined classic sweet flavors. It's amazing that this level of quality comes at such a low price... (^_^;)

Energy Ingredients of Rip It Stinger MO

Contains 160mg of caffeine, 2000mg of taurine, 6mg of guarana, and 200mg of inositol. Looking at the ingredients alone, it's almost on par with energy drinks priced at 200 yen.

For a budget energy drink, this formulation is more than enough to satisfy most consumers.

A Successful Example of a Low-Cost Energy Drink

Rip It Stinger MO has been on the market for over 10 years, proving its long-lasting popularity. Before trying it, I honestly had no idea what to expect, but the flavor and aroma are incredibly rich, making it hard to believe it's just $1. It doesn't follow the lazy "just make it strong" approach—everything is well-balanced with no off-putting notes, making it a surprisingly smooth drink (*´艸｀*)

Even with zero expectations for a budget-brand energy drink, this one is surprisingly well-crafted.

Rip It Stinger MO
As expected from Rip It, known for its extensive flavor lineup. Even as a low-cost energy drink, the pull-tab features a well-designed green ring tab. I love how American energy drink brands don’t cut corners, even on budget products (*´艸｀*)
