NOS. I thought you were dead, I thought you were gone!

As a subsidiary of Monster I thought they'd give you the axe, considering Moster has so many sugary flavors already. I was wrong. Happily wrong.

NOS Grand Prix Guava released in April 2026 and displaced NOS Sonic Sour. Their lineup is now 4-wide: NOS, NOS Zero Sugar, NOS GT Grape and this one, Grand Prix Guava.

Grand Prix Guava smells and tastes like candy, like bubblegum in particular. Real bubblegum. That one bubblegum with the punk rock duck on it that looks like Lil Uzi Vert.

I'm pretty sure they still sell it in that wrapper. Anyway, with 200mg of caffeine as opposed to NOS' typical 160mg the duck captures how I feel after downing this one. Plus the colorway almost matches.

Of course the NOS is sugary. They all are except NOS Zero Sugar. But that doesn't matter. I can always budget a NOS into my daily routine, especially one that is as good as this one.
