It's like a sparkling fucking Just Juice, and that's a 9 out of 10 from me.
16 July 2026 · AUSSIE LAUNCH! Bad Apple Monster Review
9
9 out of 10, could do with a bit more twang
Bought at Ampol
Aussie launch of Bad Apple Monster bought at Ampol Foodary for a normal Monster price. Unlike the US version, which tasted like Somersby, this tastes like a sparkling Just Juice. He rates it 9/10 but says it needed more twang, and it isn't a fake green apple flavour.
