Kong Strong find in Spain but not in France

I admit it: I'm addicted to energy drinks.

I’m especially into Monster (sugar-free, preferably).

I do a lot of my shopping at Lidl in France, but their standard sugar-free Kong Strong isn't great, and the other versions are packed with sugar.

I don't have tons of money, but like I said, I'm hooked. So, I keep an eye out for Monster deals and promotions at other stores; I know exactly where to buy them—and where not to—based on the prices in my town.

But anyway, I happened to be in Spain and stumbled upon these. I stocked up a bit. They’re €0.95 a can, compared to the €1.70–€2.50 you pay for Monster.

Why aren't these available in France yet?

I’ve seen that Spain isn't the only country that sells them.

Lidl could have my money. And plenty of other French people's money too, I'm sure.


J'avoue je suis accro aux boissons énergisantes.

J'aime surtout les monster (sans sucre de préférence).

Je fais souvent mes courses à Lidl mais leurs Kong Strong classique sans sucre est pas ouf, et les autres sont pleines de sucre.

J'ai pas des masses de thunes mais comme j'ai dit je suis accro. Du coup je guette les monster et les promo dans les autres magasins, je connais les endroits où les acheter ou pas, en fonction de leurs prix dans ma ville.

Mais voilà. J'ai eu l'occasion de passer en Espagne et de tomber sur ça. J'en ai fait un petit stock. 0,95 € la canette au lieux des 1,70€ à 2,50€ des monster.

Pourquoi en les trouve pas déjà en France ?

J'ai vu que l'Espagne n'est pas le seul pays à les proposer.

Lidl pourrait prendre mon argent. Et celui d'autres personnes j'en suis sûr.

I had a crazy idea: I converted my Mini Countryman R60 into a micro-camper! 🏕️🚗

​I had this crazy idea to convert my Mini Countryman R60 in a way I’ve never seen done before.

​The build is based on a trunk box and two slide-out slatted bed modules connected together. I can't drive and have the bed set up at the same time, but it only takes 10 to 15 minutes to switch from driving mode to sleeping mode. In driving mode, most of the bed and gear fit perfectly in the trunk, and I still keep my rear visibility!

​It’s designed for two adults to sleep in, and a bit of storage but you definitely have to be comfortable with proximity ☺️. The bed is about 120cm (47 inches) wide near the head and shoulders, and the usable sleeping length is around 172cm (5'8")—though you can get a little extra room if you sleep diagonally 😉.

​What do you guys think?
