Monster Mixxd

I first saw a can of Monster Mixxd at Speedway a few days ago. The same Speedway where I first saw Monster M-80. The same one that sadly no longer carries Monster M-80. I was sick earlier this week, so I wanted to save it for when I was feeling better. I've been looking forward to drinking this all week.
You may or may not know, I love Monster Energy drinks. The original Monster Energy is a classic, and Monster M-80 is my favorite drink of all time. I can never get enough of the M-80. So, I had high hopes for this new Monster as it is also in the "Energy+Juice" category like my beloved M-80. Though, this one is only 30% juice as opposed to 80%.
I cracked open the can and took a smell. Bad idea, was gross, yet familiar. Took a sip. Worse idea. This stuff is horrid. I've since taken about 6 sips over the last 20 minutes thinking maybe the taste would grow on me. It's not. I have determined it smells kinda like a rum and Coke. One made with really crappy well rum.
If you like Monster or M-80, I'd recommend sticking with those, don't waste your money on this one. It's exciting to see a new Monster on the shelves, but this one just doesn't live up to the name. Speedway, please bring back the M-80!!
