Companies can only pay stores to stock so many products on so many shelves. I\u2019ve already written about a couple new <a href=\"https:\/\/sporked.com\/article\/best-monster-energy-drink-flavors\/\">Monster Energy<\/a> products coming to shelves in 2025, but now we know what we\u2019re giving up in <em>exchange<\/em> for all those new drinks. Namely, we\u2019ll see two Ultra flavors, two Java Monsters, a Juice, and a Rehab make their way to the great convenience store in the sky. Word of caution: The chart of discontinuations I consulted didn\u2019t come with specific timetables for <em>when<\/em> these drinks will be leaving shelves. If you\u2019re losing a <a href=\"https:\/\/sporked.com\/article\/monster-energy-drink-zodiac\/\">favorite Monster flavor<\/a> in this wave of farewells, the time to stock up is ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bye bye, Monster Rehab Strawberry Lemonade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rehab is Monster\u2019s line of electrolyte-filled non-carbonated tea energy drinks. (It\u2019s for hangovers, y\u2019all.) There\u2019s one crucial word in that description: <em>tea<\/em>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/sporked.com\/article\/rehab-monster-green-tea-review\/\">Monster Rehab<\/a> flavor being discontinued is\u2026 Strawberry Lemonade? That\u2019s not tea. How did they get away with this? Anyway, I\u2019m a big fan of the entire Rehab line <em>except<\/em> Strawberry Lemonade, so I\u2019m not complaining. If you\u2019ve never tried a Rehab, I highly recommend the Wild Berry Tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See ya, Juice Monster Aussie Lemonade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Allegedly people actually do drink Juice Monster! Well, we\u2019re losing the Aussie Lemonade flavor, which is described as an \u201cExotic Lemonade.\u201d I\u2019ve never tried it, I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ve ever even <em>noticed<\/em> it on a shelf. We\u2019re getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/sporked.com\/article\/new-monster-flavors-2025\/\">new Monster Juice flavor<\/a> called \u201cViking Berry\u201d in 2025. Time will tell whether it can make more of an impact than this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ranking The Ultimate Olipop Flavors - Olipop Review (Unedited) | Sporked\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nTEJL9uNbm8?list=PLHbjKrchTZzsZ79ca1ANDHZ5lYy7-KiNq\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oh, no! Not my precious Java Monster 300s!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Worry not, caffeine addicts; Java Monster 300s are being discontinued in name only. The two existing Java Monster 300 flavors are being replaced by a new, very similar line called \u201cKiller Brew.\u201d I\u2019ve got all the details about that development in <a href=\"https:\/\/sporked.com\/article\/new-monster-killer-brews-news\/\">this article<\/a>. Call me <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/RkRFtxqu1eo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nicki<\/a> because I\u2019m <em>killing<\/em> the Monster beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re even killing two zero sugar Monsters!?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ultra line has been <a href=\"https:\/\/sporked.com\/article\/new-monster-flavor-guava-monster-news\/\">expanding consistently<\/a> over the past few years. But there are <em>15<\/em> flavors on shelves right now, so it\u2019s time to say goodbye to a few underperforming options. Monster Energy Ultra Rosa <em>and<\/em> Ultra Red will be discontinued at some point in 2025. Ultra Rosa is officially described as \u201cBright and Sweet\u201d with no defining flavor notes beyond that. I\u2019m sure I\u2019ve tried this Monster flavor before, but honestly I can\u2019t remember a single thing about it. Ultra Red is \u201cCrisp and Refreshing Mixed Berry,\u201d which is more distinct than Rosa, but still not in line with the hyper-specific flavors we see launching from Monster these days. So far, we know about <em>one<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/sporked.com\/article\/new-monster-flavors-2025\/\">new Ultra flavor<\/a> coming in 2025; it seems like we should look forward to a second coming later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smart cuts?
