Summit Gridlock (Aldi)
So I used to work at a bar/club that had an energy drink on tap that nobody knew what it was called but it glowed in the blacklight and had a very unique taste.
This is the closest that I found to the taste, if not the actual drink itself. It definitely has an off taste to me compared to monster but it's not bad in my opinion especially for only 89 cents a can.
Different flavor profiles came out at different times, I'm not sure if it was a temperature or what but at one point it had an almost an apple taste. Very interesting to me.
In this reddit, I'm sure this has been reported a million times so I'm not trying to pretend like it's something new but it is an interesting cheap energy drink from the Aldi market. I haven't tried the blue which is low carb but I'm not usually a fan of low carb drinks so I don't know when I'll get around to that to be honest.
I just found this as well, I do like the lo-carb, I love Monster, and this is as close to Monster as I have tried, and I would rather pay .89 a can than 2.89.
