Notes

^ Marked for redo — These drinks are flagged for a re-test. Ranking may change.
* C4 Ultimate WWE Berry Powerbomb — We believe this drink changed its formula. C4 denied any change and sent us a case; that batch was better, but probably still not enough to justify its current placement.
** C4 Skittles Original — Originally ranked lower on 3/29/2024. Re-tested and re-ranked according to The Science.
*** GHOST Energy Orange Cream — Originally ranked near the bottom in late March. Re-tested and re-ranked after we found it deserved significantly better.

About Matt & Nick's Stupid Adventure

Matt and Nick are not food reviewers or even good reviewers, but they're good at being bored and hyperfocused on bullshit like this.

What started as a curiosity inspired by Jeff Gerstmann's own energy drink rankings snowballed into this, a ranked list of 200+ energy drinks with what I wouldn't call reviews so much as I would say mildly interesting immediate reactions. All drinks are rated according to The Science, a proprietary algorithm using the latest AI models utilizing 18,000 GPUs. That or just a personal code and how we feel that day.

No thought or review has been sponsored. We did once receive a case from C4 that was not requested after questioning the formula of one of their WWE-branded drinks. It's noted in the footnotes.

Reviewers: Matt (MSL) & Nick (NF) — two people who probably drink too much caffeine.
