Which One Tastes Better?

Figuring out which one tastes better comes down to personal preference. Just like Coke vs Pepsi, you have groups of people that will only drink one or the other, depending on their personal tastes. The same is true for Reign vs Bang.

Bang Energy currently offers more flavors than Reign Total Body Fuel but Reign just came out with 3 new zero sugar flavors so more flavors could be in the works. 

A Quick Warning

While Reign and Bang brand energy drinks boast a lot of performance perks, it does not necessarily mean that either are healthy or good for you. You will find more than a few warnings on each energy drink label, so be sure to read through them. Note that both brands recommend the consumer be 18 years or older.

The FDA currently recommends no more than 400mg of caffeine a day. A single can of either of these energy drinks gets you very close to that limit so please drink responsibly.  

Where To Buy Them

You can find both brands at most convenience stores now. If you are looking for specific flavors, places like the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC also carry the energy drinks. For quick, easy shopping, we found a few variety packs available on Amazon.
