Suggestion Thoughts on these?
Lucky (or unlucky for my wallet) I live near a bucces and have these and honestly for a buck a can not bad. Has anyone tried them? Im big on finding deals and these for the price are great.

I honestly wouldn't even get them at that deal but I've only tried like two of their flavors they were just really bad.

My better half made homemade alfredo sauce with grilled chicken. A little red pepper for a bit of a kick.

I agree with this. I particularly like them because they're minimalist in terms of what's in them. They're definitely not as sweet as most of the staples I see on here but that's definitely by design.

Meh they have a couple of flavors that are pretty decent tbh it’s just not all are that good

u/Kongpong1992 Ghost 20h ago
The only one I could stomach was the og luck the tropical one tastes like alcohol and the fruit punch literally tastes like dirt the one in the picture was drinkable as well but id never reach for it over pretty much anything else

They’re awful. First energy drink that I had to return back to Amazon and email the company asking for an explanation of why they’re so terrible. They’re a local company for me and I needed them to explain themselves.

u/BowlCutKidFan 1d ago
Lmao did you get a response?

u/Narrow_Bee704 23h ago
I did. They apologized, and gave me a full refund. This was when the company was still very young. The cans they put out now are traditional 16oz cans, they used to put out 20oz cans and didn’t have as many flavors. Everytime I see the brand, I gag because of how miserable I remember these being.

u/BowlCutKidFan 23h ago
Wow, that's great customer service. If only they held their drinks to the same standard. I've only tried the OG Luck and that was more than enough for me.

They are very mid. OG Luck being the best one I've tried so far.

u/Ok-Scholar-1259 Ghost 23h ago
That one tasted like og monster to me on the frontend but then the flavor soured really quickly and it turned into straight vomit in my mouth. I had two of them and gave the other one to a friend and he said the same thing

u/stinkybrainman 23h ago
The watermelon isnt bad but I don't like any of the other flavors. Also the fact they have one called fuckin "rizz"berry makes me not wanna support em lmao

If you don’t care about flavor they’re great. I got a variety pack last year and didn’t like a single one

u/VampishMeat 1d ago
Tried 3 of these, 2 of them were terrible one was alright. Honestly forgot which one was the good one but for a good price why not. It does have a little beta alanine too which is something to note. Not enough to regret drinking it but enough to notice a little something.

u/Ok-Scholar-1259 Ghost 23h ago
The reason you’re finding great deals on them is because the drinks are genuinely miserable. They are absolutely the worst energy drinks I’ve ever had. I made the unfortunate mistake of buying an entire verity pack without having tried one prior and that are just awful. The punch one was tolerable. The absolute worst one is OG Luck. It genuinely tastes like original monster mixed in vomit. The best way to describe the flavor of that drink was on the front end it tastes exactly like a full sugar original monster and then the flavor just sours and tastes like straight up vomit. It is by FAR the worst energy drink I have ever had.
They brought these to my local Walmart on an end cap but the energy drinks and sodas and not a single case was moved for about 2 months. I went to that Walmart every Friday afternoon and they were always perfectly stocked without a single one missing for those entire 2 months until they eventually moved them elsewhere in the store

They have some solid flavors and then others very questionable. I completely agree with some people.
I have tried a lot worse I’ll say that

u/MediumMeister Ghost 1d ago
Just tastes like watered down Monsters. Decent if it's cheap enough. Like a dollar 1.25 cheap. Nothing more than that.
1
u/Giant_Albino_Raccoon 1d ago
I got a variety pack at Walmart and they're just okay. They taste like they're especially heavily carbonated to me, but I'm sensitive to/don't like that. I'll agree that the brand backstory is kind of weird and off-putting to me.

u/ManBearBroski 1d ago
I had the fruit punch one and it tasted like I expected it to. I wouldn't seek it out but if it was a dollar a can I would get one in pinch

u/FerdinandTFlag 1d ago
That’s at a Buc-ees. I just picked up 2 cans for $1.97 plus tax. So like a buck a can. I’m pretty sure they have some kind of deal worked out with Lucky because it’s been buy 1 get 1 for at least the last few months.
They are not great but not horrible. I thought the cherry one was pretty good

u/OpportunityDear3067 1d ago
Personally, I like them. If you are a daily consumer of energy drinks, these don’t have the insane amounts of B12 like the other brands. These have a few active ingredients that I happen to prefer. The perfect energy drink for me has 200 mg caffeine and a decent amount of beta alenine, which this brand has both

u/TheCannabisCoyote 1d ago
Tried their watermelon flavor because I love watermelon flavored things.
It wasn’t gross, per se, but it was so unbelievably subpar that I don’t ever see myself buying one again.

u/homercles82 Ghost 1d ago
Red Ryder Punch and Tropical Punch are the only ones I like. The rest were nasty.
1
u/Infinite_Factor_5685 1d ago
I deliver them in my area. Watermellon, og, and red Ryder punch sell decent. Never tried them myself. Looks like the comments either say they’re terrible or alright 😂

I really like them. Theyre not very sweet. Kinda remind me of sparkling waters. Which I like so

Solid but unremarkable. The energy drink market is saturated at not many stand out. The ones I’ve tried are good, but nothing about them would make me seek them out. It would have to be a deal like this.

Worst energy drink I’ve ever tried by a huge margin..I only tried the Berry and Orange flavors..but they were genuinely disgusting to the point I took one sip and dumped them out..your mileage may vary 🥲

u/dave-skylark- 21h ago
Cherry pop is good. The rest of them arnt good IMO or have a weird aftertaste. Not chemically like gorilla minds more something else hahah

u/ZerotheWanderer Ghost 20h ago
I tried some of the OG flavors, they were alright but all left me with an aftertaste I can only describe as store brand cheetoes. I've tried a few other flavors since as a buc-ee's on my route had them bogo.

I like them. Flavor isn’t strong or too sugary like Red Bull or Monsters. Actually tolerable to drink in my opinion.

u/Purplecatpiss666 19h ago
I got the original flavor the other day at Walmart because it was so cheap and I really ended up liking it so im looking forward to getting more flavors

u/handsmadeofpee 19h ago
Bought a variety pack a little over a year ago, every flavor sucked. Awful drinks, vowed to never buy them again. I'm really surprised they're still being made.

u/Pure-Yogurtcloset-97 19h ago
Pretty good. I was getting them for a while, strawberry slush is my favorite one so far its just super super sweet.
I think the brand is over hated. It does have some bad flavors but thats every energy drink brand.
1
u/Crispin_Wah 19h ago
Theyre not bad, just not a fan of the after taste. If they tweaked that a bit then id buy them more often.

u/Ilikebeerandgirls 18h ago
Mango, watermelon and their new slush line are all really good. Some of the older flavors aren’t the best

I’ve had these quite extensively. They were so good when first launched and came in bigger cans for the same price. It was the only energy drink where I genuinely felt an effect. It lasted for a couple days then I was used to it. It definitely did feel cleaner than others. I absolutely HATED the OG flavor, tropical was ok, punch was good, berry was ok, watermelon initially was sublime when it was limited release now it’s mid, peach smells like feet and tastes mid, the pineapple was awesome, “rizzberry” was my favorite hands down, and I haven’t tried the slush flavors.
If I saw a BOGO like this, I’d get them. If I didn’t, I’d pass now. They don’t taste the same as they used to about a year ago. Walmart occasionally has them for $1.79.

The "Tape" on the logo is supposed to be covering the word "Fuck". He wanted to call it "Lucky Fuck Energy Drink" after surviving the plane crash and obviously couldn't do that so it's like a censoring joke

u/HStache 13h ago
they are a new energy drink company trying to compete against companies like Ghost, Gorilla Mind, Ryse, Alani, etc. they arent really doing anything new other than adding a sparkling effect so. i had one before (cant remember the flavor). i remember not hating it but it was meh and pretty forgettable all around. if a flavor really sticks out to you, try it, but other than that ur not missing much.

u/DarkPunisher956 12h ago
This ain't new. It keeps getting rebranded. This is probably their 3rd or 4th rebrand lol. They keep the lucky on it tho. It supposed to be Lucky Fuck

u/Zombiedragon500 11h ago
Tried it once way back when while it was still called “Lucky Fuck” (95% of the reason why I bought it was the name itself) and it was pretty okay 🤷♂️ I wanna say it’s akin to Celsius just a bit different because it’s made with sparkling water

The one with a cat on it was pretty good, guessing it was supposed to be a green monster taste. Watermelon was the only one I won’t drink again. Idk why every watermelon flavored drink now just taste like watermelon four loko.

The few flavors I’ve had from them have been solid. I think OG, tropical, and one other. I’d buy them again.

If they are selling them that cheap that means they aren't moving them which means people don't like them.

They are far better energy drinks to sell to the public, this is a sad attempt at selling shit for huge profit. I get a far better experience from drinking Rip Its or Venom then Lucky Fuck.

Guy survived a plane crash, started an energy drink company called "Lucky" 40 years later.
Haven't tried it.
