It's been a long time coming...

But I can no longer continue to support this brand. I only do sugar free drinks, and many of Rockstar's offerings were among my all-time favorites—namely, throwback sugar free, zero carb, mandarin orange, TMGS, and fruit punch. I saw three of those flavors disappear from shelves as a result of the Pepsi buyout, but I continued purchasing them online. The other two remained in stores near me, and I could count on getting them cheap when deals came around. Now three of those flavors have been axed, and I've been told TMGS and fruit punch are no longer seeing distribution in my area. Being unable to find a single flavor I love during my local supermarket's last 10/$10 promotion is just the straw that broke this camel's back, and man have I tried to stick with it.

I tried to enjoy both the 2021 and 2023 iterations of the "new" sugar free original, but it tastes like it has twice as much sucralose as it needs. I tried to enjoy the recovery line, but they've since discontinued 3 solid flavors, and orange has never been as good since they changed it to orangeade. Lemonade is awesome, but it's also less common than orangeade. I tried to enjoy the focus line, but it was a complete miss imo. As for pure zero, silver ice is still solid. I enjoyed strawberry peach and grape, but they're both gone now, too.

I just don't understand why they're seemingly so hellbent on changing their best products for the worse or doing away with them entirely. If someone hands me a can of silver ice, I won't turn it down, but as I sit here sipping on my last zero carb, I can't imagine Rockstar will ever get another dime from me.

old rockstar energy

anyone remember the old cans and flavouring i used to buy the guava flavour everyday but ever since they changed the cans it feels like they’ve flavour or recipe has changed it’s no where near too how good it used to be i read online they have tried adjusting the sugar and other things i understand making it healthier but they should have just made separate versions for better health alternatives anyone agree or does anyone else remember the old cans or flavours

Rockstar DUPE

I am DESPERATE for a Rockstar dupe.

I'm pregnant, and my favorite carbonated beverage by far has been Black Can Rockstar for years. Obviously, in my condition the caffeine, taurine, and guarana really shouldn't be consumed. I'm looking for anything that has a similar flavor with low/no caffeine and none of the zoomy juice herbals.

I actually tried opening a ticket on the Rockstar website itself, but they closed it without answer. Any suggestions?

Places i can order (Canada)

I live in Canada (east coast) and for the past month I haven't been able to find many rockstars. I used to be able to find almost every flavor I could think of at almost any store that carried them. I've checked my local wholesale store, walmart, conrer stores, dollar stores and even online. Every store I check the stock seems totally empty, The few I do find are always just the original and fruit punch. Not that I dont like those, they just aren't my favorites.

Online (amazon as well as the actual rockstar website) all it says is "out of stock" or "unavailable". Or it will try to find a store close to me, like Walmart or a popular gas station chain (that i have already checked, and doesn't have what i'm looking for).

Is there a better website I could order from in Canada to get more selection? Or maybe an American website that won't charge me up the arse for shipping? Im looking for flavors like grape, green apple, strawberry lemonade, peach, stuff like that. My favorite is Berry Burst, but I have a feeling that one was a limited run.

Any info is great on where I could order a case, thanks!

is Rockstar original zero sugar gone in canada?

I live in BC and over the past 2 months I have noticed that the zero sugar original rockstar is nearly impossible to find? It use to be everywhere from what I can recall. I use to get them from the dollaramas, but now they are just replaced with celcius on the shelves. I've seen that they are maybe doing some rebranding, or something along those lines, but I havent heard of any reasons yet to why they might have stopped selling them. Anyone got any insight?
