The 9 Best Bang Flavors: Ranking the Best (and Worst)
In this article, we will rank and review the best (and worst) Bang flavors on the market and even some that aren’t unavailable. We’ll also examine what makes Bang Energy Drink so popular and its background.
How I Was Introduced to Bang Energy Drinks
Bang Energy Drinks has been one of my area’s most common and available energy drinks over the last several years. You could find it in almost every grocery store and supermarket, even before other well-known name brands were available.
This, combined with their clever marketing and roster of exciting flavors, made them a household name, at least in our household, during that time. We would commonly have a Bang Energy drink ready in the morning when we felt like we needed a little extra pick-me-up.
Since drinking it for many years, we have tried almost every flavor available from Bang Energy Drinks.
What is the best Bang flavor? Let’s get right into the Bang energy drink reviews and rankings and look at the best-tasting Bang energy drinks available.
Ranking the Best Bang Energy Drink Flavors
1. Blue Razz
While Bang Energy Drink doesn’t necessarily come straight out and tell us what flavor this is supposed to be, the name implies some berry, maybe a raspberry, or something blue.
Whatever the intended flavor was, this is an absolutely delicious drink and an easy top spot on our list of the Bang Energy flavors.
It’s got just enough sweetness to satisfy, but not overwhelmingly so
And as I mentioned before, this beverage flavor seems to be the most widely available flavor of them all, as pretty much every gas station, convenience store, and mom-and-pop shop seems to have Bang Energy Blue Razz on hand.
Contains: 300 mg of caffeine • EAA Aminos • CoQ10 • Super Creatine® – Creatyl-L-Leucine (Creatine bonded to L-Leucine)
2. Purple Haze
As a fan of anything with a grape soda flavor, picking the Purple Haze as my second choice didn’t take too much time.
While the taste probably isn’t an exact replication of grape flavor, it is still sweet enough to hint at the delicious fruit flavor but unique enough to have its own character.
If you’re a fan of fruit flavor or grape flavored drinks, this will be your top option.
Contains: 300 mg of caffeine • EAA Aminos • CoQ10 • Super Creatine® – Creatyl-L-Leucine (Creatine bonded to L-Leucine)
3. Star Blast
Despite no specific directive regarding what this beverage drink should taste like, it’s still one of the most popular flavors of the Bang Energy Drink family.
While I think its taste profile is closer to a fruit punch, anybody with a sweet drink fan will enjoy it. It’s not overly sweet, so you won’t be overpowered by too much sugar taste.
It’s a well-balanced fruit punch and is sure to be one of your favorites.
Contains: 300 mg of caffeine • EAA Aminos • CoQ10 • Super Creatine® – Creatyl-L-Leucine (Creatine bonded to L-Leucine)
4. Delish Strawberry Kiss
Delish Strawberry Kiss was one of the most recent Bang Energy Drink beverage lineup additions.
Introduced between 2021 and 2022, it hit the shelves with much promotion and fanfare from Bank. And, it turns out that was absolutely warranted.
This is a delicious Bang Energy flavor with a fantastic balance of strawberry and freshness. Not overly sweet, but good enough to satisfy those sweet tooth urges.
Contains: 300 mg of caffeine • EAA Aminos • CoQ10 • Super Creatine® – Creatyl-L-Leucine (Creatine bonded to L-Leucine)
5. Sour Heads
Sour flavored energy drinks have become quite popular over the last couple of years, with the most similar and often thought of as competitor, Reign, having a very similar drink.
However, this Sour Heads Bang flavor can stand on its own 2 feet, bringing a flavor profile that is sure to appease those looking for that tart punch but still balanced enough to be an enjoyable energy drink experience for those who don’t like overly sour flavors.
Contains: 300 mg of caffeine • EAA Aminos • CoQ10 • Super Creatine® – Creatyl-L-Leucine (Creatine bonded to L-Leucine)
6. Lemon Drop
While this one is not necessarily one of my favorites, it is my wife’s favorite, so it deserves an honorary spot on this list of the best Bang Energy Drink flavors.
And I actually do like the Lemon Drop quite a bit myself. It’s very subtle and doesn’t have a strong flavor profile.
That said, that can appeal to those who want something a little bit more middle-of-the-road rather than something with a ton of flavor in any direction.
So if you’re looking for decent-tasting energy drink that tastes as good as it is easy to swallow, this Bang Energy might be your choice.
Contains: 300 mg of caffeine • EAA Aminos • CoQ10 • Super Creatine® – Creatyl-L-Leucine (Creatine bonded to L-Leucine)
7. Power Punch
My favorite thing about this drink flavor is that you know exactly what you’re getting into as soon as you buy it.
No surprises here; it delivers the fruit punch flavor just as it says it will.
And unlike other energy drink flavors, they don’t go too overboard with this flavor, making it great tasting and easy to drink.
Contains: 300 mg of caffeine • EAA Aminos • CoQ10 • Super Creatine® – Creatyl-L-Leucine (Creatine bonded to L-Leucine)
8. Peach Mango
It’s not that I dislike mango; I actually like mango flavor a lot.
But I felt like the Bang Energy mango intruded on the flavor profile of the peach with this drink, nullifying what would have been my favorite part of it.
Other energy drinks have a peach option that is much better than the Bang Peach Mango. That said, I’ll still pick this beverage up occasionally just for a change of pace.
But if I had my choice of a peach beverage pick, it would be a different brand other than Bang Energy.
Contains: 300 mg of caffeine • EAA Aminos • CoQ10 • Super Creatine® – Creatyl-L-Leucine (Creatine bonded to L-Leucine)
9. Wyldin’ Watermelon
I love anything watermelon-flavored, and I do enjoy this drink.
However, it probably should’ve been higher on my list because I love anything and everything flavored watermelon.
So why is it down here at the bottom? It is because it’s almost got too much flavor.
I’m not exactly sure if it’s the sweetness or just too strong of a flavor profile, but it’s almost too much to drink one of these if I’m thirsty.
Again, I love watermelon, but even I have my limits.
Contains: 300 mg of caffeine • EAA Aminos • CoQ10 • Super Creatine® – Creatyl-L-Leucine (Creatine bonded to L-Leucine)
The Bang Energy Drink CEO
The Bang CEO is a man named Jack Owoc. He is a former professional football player (team unknown) who calls himself a “marketing genius.”
He has been involved in several successful businesses, including creating VPX Sports, which is the parent company of Bang.
Bang Energy Drink has gained quite a large following and has become popular for its unique flavors and even more unique marketing campaigns. But, the company has also faced controversy, including accusations of false advertising and lawsuits related to the safety of its products, one of which you can read about below.
In late 2022, Bang Energy Drink lost a lawsuit to competitor Monster Energy Drinks and were forced to pay $293 Million Dollars over false advertising. You can read about that verdict HERE.
Despite these controversies, Bang Energy Drink remains a popular choice among energy drink consumers and shows no signs of slowing down. Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no denying that Bang Energy Drink has made a big impact in the world of energy drinks.
Bang Nutrition Facts
Let’s face it, we’ve all been tempted to chug a can of Bang Energy Drink in the hopes of a quick energy boost. But is this popular energy drink actually good for you?
Is Bang Energy Drink Good for You? Here’s the Lowdown on Its Nutritional Facts
First things first, let’s take a look at the nutrition facts of Bang Energy Drinks. One can of sugar-free Bang Energy Drink (16 fl oz) contains 300 milligrams of caffeine, which is a lot compared to the recommended daily limit of 400 milligrams for adults.
Just enough caffeine can be great for a quick pick-me-up, but too much of it can lead to negative side effects like increased heart rate and jitters.
Bang Energy Drink also contains taurine, an amino acid that some believe can improve athletic performance. However, the long-term effects of taurine on the human body aren’t clear yet, and more research is needed.
In terms of its vitamin content, Bang Energy Drink has B vitamins which are important for maintaining a healthy metabolism and helping the body produce energy. But it’s worth noting that you can get all the B-vitamins you need through a well-balanced diet, no energy drinks required.
Bang Energy drinks contain a blend of ingredients that include essential amino acids and creatine, which are known to contribute positively towards daily health needs. According to its ingredient list, typical servings contain up between 4 – 32.5 mg of these components – an amount much less than our recommended safe dose allowance for both elements per day (which stands at 5 grams).
Ultimately, it’s up to you whether or not you want to chug a can of Bang Energy. Just be aware of its ingredients and try to consume it in moderation. And if you have any concerns about its safety or effects on your health, it’s always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.
Brand Alternatives To Bang Energy Drinks
If you’re thinking about going for an energy drink but want to try a drink other than Bang Energy Drink, lucky for you, there are a ton of other options on the market to choose from.
Brands like Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar, and NOS are some of the most popular and well-known names in the energy drink game. These brands offer a range of flavors and ingredient formulations, ensuring a great option for everyone.
Reign Energy Drink is another brand that is often thought of as a competitor to Bang Energy. It offers a variety of flavors and boasts of having no artificial flavors or colors, making it a popular choice for those looking for an alternative to Bang.
I did a great article (if I do say so myself) where I rank and review the best and worst Reign Energy Drink flavors, which you can check out HERE.

Final Thoughts On The Bang Drink For Energy
We’ve been checking out some of the best and not-so-best flavors of Bang drink flavors. We also did a deep dive into what makes this drink so popular and a little about its background.
As for our choice of the best Bang Energy flavors, we’re digging Blue Razz, Purple Haze, and Star Blast. But that isn’t all Bang flavors ranked. Others are still good to drink, like the Birthday Cake Bash and Delish Strawberry Kiss. A couple, such as the Pina Colada, Key Lime Pie, Candy Apple, Rainbow Unicorn, Miami Cola, Purple Guava Pear, and Cotton Candy, did not make this list. I’ve tried all of these, and honestly, I didn’t think they even made the top 10.
But hey, the taste is a personal preference, so we urge our readers to taste-test the flavors and make their list of faves. There is an option for all levels of sweet tooth.
It’s important to note that Bang Energy has about 30 flavors on its website, so even making it on the top 11 list means these are still the cream of the crop.
Just a friendly reminder: energy drinks like Bang Energy have high levels of caffeine, so it’s important to consume them in moderation and to check the nutrition facts.
Always check with your physician before trying any new supplement or drink, especially if you’re pregnant, nursing, or have pre-existing medical conditions.
