Monster+Energized!!



Question- What are peoples favorite flavor of Monster energy drink?

Introduction- Energy drinks have a special taste to them. I want to know what kind of Monster energy drink people like the best. Materials- Assault Monster. Khaos Monster. Monster. 5 people. 15 cups. 3 bottles of water. Hypothesis- That people will like Assault the best. because it is cherry flavored and everyone likes cherry.

Research- Monster is a brand owned by Coca Cola. There corporation head quarters is in Corona California. Though Monster Energy is not widely advertised in the media it receives a large amount of recognition from its sponsorship of various sporting events. On November 10, 2008, the distribution of Monster turned over to CCE, Coca Cola United, and other Coke bottlers in many markets. Contracts with existing distributors were bought out in these markets. In late 2009 or early 2010 Monster Energy will expand their market and release their products to other countries including Germany. It is distributed in Australia by Schweppes.The original is packaged in a black and green can, "Assault," a combination cola/Monster flavor, was originally in a red can however a new design is now used featuring black digital camouflage with a red logo. Khaos is a citrous flavor and containing 50% real fruit juice is packaged in a black can with an orange logo.

Procedure- 1. Collect all materials. 2. Take one tester into a testing room. 3. Have the tester drink one of the flavors of monster. 4. After they drink the monster have them take a drink of water to get rid of the last taste. 5. Then repeat steps 3 and 4 with that person. 6. After that do steps 3 through 5 with the other testers. 7. Finally gather results.
