Question about Monster Energy in chess

I drank Monster Energy Orange (Monster Energy Chaos).
But, I feel the effect is weaker than the normal one, Monster Energy that is packaged with black and green colors.
My chess rate was better with normal Monster Energy than Monster Energy Chaos.
Please tell me your experiences how you felt about the differences between the kinds of Monster Energy.
Such an obvious ME advert :(
That stuff is worse than alcohol and contains at least 6 times the sugar.
It's no better than snorting 2 grams of Cocaine and eating 25 grams of refined sugar!
I just had a 500mL can of Monster Energy™ traditional, i.e. the black and green one. I'd definitely say my performance is optimized by consuming this variant, rather than Monster Energy™ Khaos®. The latter is more effective when I am undertaking strenuous physical activities.

I'd rather drink my own piss due to the fact:
1: It's healthier
2: It contains less sugar
3: It contains less carcinogenic additives and poison
4: It tastes like sh1t but is not poison
@TheRider Accept my challenge to 1+0 bullet. I just consumed a second can of Monster Energy™, and I think this will give me the edge.

I think Monster Energy Chaos (Orange) is worse than the Black & Green.
I'm more energetic with the Black & Green.
Yesterday I drank the Orange Chaos but my energies ran out faster.
I checked each nutrition on the internet, then the Black & Green has higher nutrition generally as my using experiences.
drinking monster always makes me feel gross after, especially if i consume it regularly. i gave up on it. its just nasty stuff.

a better alternative ive found is Mio energy. it doesnt come in a can, its super concentrated in a little 2oz bottle. you should be able to find it in the grocery store (Kroger and Food Lion also have generic store brands that are basically the same thing, but cost less. most of the store brands flavors are terrible, but the black cherry ones are ok). you just add 1 squirt to every 8 oz of water. so, regular 16 oz bottle you add two squirts.

the ingredients are simpler, the most important thing being zero sugar. sugar just gives you a sugar crash, so this cuts it out entirely. the energy is mainly from the caffeine, but it has B vitamins and stuff in there too.

also it has no calories, so you wont get fat sucking down energy drinks or soda. i stopped drinking canned energy drinks, and totally cut out soda and just drink water, or water plus Mio/store brand Mio, and I lost some weight!

its really economical too. the canned drinks are $2 each, at least. they get you hooked on the shit and then you end up paying $5 for the big cans. the Mio bottles are $3-4 (store brands about $2), but its concentrated, so itll make 8-10 16oz bottles. so basically $4 of Mio is equal to about $20 of Monster. ok, you have to buy the water too, but you can save there buying cases of water, or getting water from a water fountain or tap. it definitely works out way cheaper, and being hooked on monster is as expensive as being hooked on cigarettes. you can save a lot if you get off of it.
