Do I know who Lando is?<\/p>\n
Of course I know who Lando is.<\/p>\n
He runs Cloud City on the planet Bespin, right? Hence, the clouds plastered all over the can. Besties with Han Solo and Chewbacca. Owned the Millennium Falcon. I know who Lando Norrissian is. I’m not sure why this Monster Energy can doesn\u2019t have his full name. Maybe it\u2019s like ScarJo in that using his full name would wrap around the can too much.<\/p>\n
Is there a new Star Wars thing coming out? Oh, wait, what am I saying? There\u2019s ALWAYS a new Star Wars thing coming out.<\/p>\n
Hmmm. Maybe there\u2019s an explanation for the shortened name on the side of the can.<\/p>\n
“Multiple Formula 1 race winner Lando Norris\u2026”<\/p>\n
Oh.<\/p>\n
It turns out it really is just Lando Norris, and he doesn\u2019t run Cloud City. Instead, he runs laps in an F1 car at 230 miles per hour.<\/p>\n
Much like my confusion with the only two Landos I know of, I\u2019m genuinely confused about whether this is a pickle-flavored energy drink. I don\u2019t smell it, and it\u2019s not a mountain of pickle flavor; it\u2019s more like a moledill of it. It starts with a distinct pickle flavor, then morphs into something more citrusy, with the pickle peeking in the background. It\u2019s surprisingly good and not off-putting in the slightest.<\/p>\n
Like Monster Ultra Energy Drinks, this Lando Norris flavor has zero sugar, but unlike the popular zero-calorie Ultra line, this has five calories. It also has slightly less caffeine at 145 milligrams, compared to Ultra’s 160. That’s not a complete dealbreaker, but I do loves me some caffeine, so I’m more inclined to reach for an Ultra.<\/p>\n
Maybe I\u2019m really only writing this review to find out if my taste buds are hallucinating \u2014 halluci-tasting, if you will. If you tried this and didn\u2019t taste pickle, please let me know. And if you did, I hope all our taste buds aren\u2019t halluci-tasting together.<\/p>\n
