    There's a blast from the past!

    Would not recommend drinking a 30 year old original bottle of energy drink.

      It would probably taste better than 75% of the newer ones.

    woah I love these compared to redbull

  • harvestloon on 07/11/2024 - 15:19

    Remember 'Gold'?

    I do. :(

    Fond memories of riding the bikes to the corner deli with mates, grabbing these, hot chips and mixed lollies with whatever change was left.

    I also had no idea it was still being made

      grabbing these, hot chips and mixed lollies

      Tradies breakfast of choice plus an iced coffee.

      • InsertCrow on 07/11/2024 - 19:07

        You're right, I guess not much has changed after all

    How much caffeine do these have?

    • nosytt on 07/11/2024 - 15:40
      +18

      Yes

    • nightelves on 07/11/2024 - 15:40

      Less than what they have now

    • Some Random Guy on 08/11/2024 - 01:14

      I can't remember the specifics however in australia caffeine amount in store bought beverages (or beverages classified as caffeinated (fact check me)) cannot have over a specific amount of caffeine per ml beverage, so all energy drinks have been the same for a long time just due to food regulation. If you want caffeine get an (double or triple) espresso from a local coffee shop and you'll be wired asf and won't have to piss heaps

      • Nathaniel437 on 10/11/2024 - 12:07

        won't have to piss heaps

        That's what you think!

  • Brick Tamland on 07/11/2024 - 15:44

    These are delicious.

  • Boioioioi on 07/11/2024 - 15:49

    What do they taste like

    • hamza23 on 07/11/2024 - 15:55

      This classic one is a bit like a creamy soda/berry taste.

      Platinum flavour is easier to describe, it tastes like lemonade.

        Good effort hamza, I agree and can’t think of a better description but can remember the taste like it was yesterday. It has a very unique flavour that I used to love and I know I would still love it now. I think I’m gonna have to get this.

    • chewbot on 07/11/2024 - 17:32

      I'd say the classic is a bit like a red sarsaparilla, but less sarsaparillaish. Slightly root beer ish.

      Personally, I prefer the platinum. It seems less sweet and more refreshing to my palate. Like mountain dew if mountain dew was much much nicer.

      • zaphy on 07/11/2024 - 18:39

        Always been a fan of Platinum. Tastes great and the energy boost seems more 'natural' for lack of a better word ie. more subtle but longer lasting.

  • nomoneynoproblems on 07/11/2024 - 15:49

    Top tier energy drink.

  • beltdrive on 07/11/2024 - 16:05

    I reckon it's been about 17 years since I've drunk one of these. I don't drink energy drinks anymore, but it's nice to know it's still around :')

  • ColPow11 on 07/11/2024 - 16:12

    I have a mate that drinks 4 a day - I can't believe the caffeine and sugar intake. Old mate's going to die at 50.

    • beltdrive on 07/11/2024 - 16:37

      RIP

    • macrocephalic on 08/11/2024 - 09:27

      Caffeine isn't really a problem in those doses. Anything up to 1000mg a day seems to have no issues for most people. There are plenty of people who drink 5+ coffees per day (me sometimes) or take pre-workouts which have 500mg+ of caffeine for serve.

    Best tasting energy drink there is.

  • wetsandwich on 07/11/2024 - 16:15

    These are easily the best energy drink, crazy that slop like Mother ever existed when this does

  • bleeder on 07/11/2024 - 16:39

    An actual classic, used to love these in the 90s, can't believe they are still around

  • TruePursuit on 07/11/2024 - 16:42

    are there no zero sugar options?

    • hamza23 on 07/11/2024 - 16:48

      They make one but I haven't seen it sold anywhere.

      berry boost
      A zero sugar blend of natural flavours, Korean ginseng, ginkgo biloba, green tea extract, magnesium and ‘B’ group vitamins.

      Edit: Orbost Foodworks in VIC sell it, probably not other locations but you could try calling your local if you have one.

        That actually sounds really good apart from the sugar-free bit.

    I recall having red eye sponsor some of the LAN parties I used to run and go to. Peak 90s and early 2000s vibes

    Thanks OP, bought some to try for the first time.

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane, OP. I used to destroy these while doing deliveries for Pedro's Pizza in the early 2000's.

  • TheSANegotiator22 on 08/11/2024 - 08:33

    I love these and try to get them on special from woolies when $2 but its rare

  • Dyl on 08/11/2024 - 08:42

    I remember my teacher thinking we were drinking beers in school when the crew all had these…

  • umexcuseme on 08/11/2024 - 09:16

    These used to taste amazing until around early 2010s when they changed the formulation on all their flavours. RIP

  • packeteer on 08/11/2024 - 12:47

    Loved these back in the day, and have bought occasionally since then. They certainly taste better than all the mainstream options!

    Might have to order a pack.

  • johnnytran on 09/11/2024 - 00:30

    I remember some kid bringing one of these to primary school. Had a few sips and was beaming

  • hamza23 on 16/11/2024 - 06:35

    Platinum is available for $24.84, for those interested. Price matching $2.30 coles special + 10% off sub & save.
