GHOST Energy Drink Variety 18-Pack Review
Candy-aisle flavors and 200mg of caffeine — assuming the cans survive the delivery truck.
GHOST's zero-sugar 18-pack delivers 200mg caffeine and candy-accurate flavors. Buyer reviews on taste, crash, dented cans, and what $1.52 a can gets you.
Bottom Line
If you want a zero-sugar energy drink that actually tastes like the candy on the can, GHOST earns its 4.6 stars — 81% of 14,589 raters gave it five. The variety pack is the gamble: you're buying 18 cans and letting GHOST choose them. At about $1.52 a can it still beats the convenience store, and Amazon has been quick to refund the dented ones.
**The flavor is the whole pitch.** Read the 14,589 ratings and one pattern swamps the rest: people buy GHOST for taste, not chemistry. Swedish Fish, Welch's Grape, 7UP, Warheads — reviewers keep landing on the same claim, that it tastes like the thing printed on the can, and that the zero-sugar formula skips the aftertaste that sinks most diet drinks. The sour ones land genuinely sour. The candy-sweet ones run sweeter than expected. In a variety pack, that cuts both ways.
**The caffeine is a tool, not a treat.** 200mg in a 16-ounce can is about two cups of coffee. Buyers using it as a pre-workout crack one half an hour out and describe roughly four hours of focus with no sugar crash. Buyers treating it as an afternoon soda report the predictable result at bedtime. One reviewer put it flatly: don't stack these toward 400mg in a day.
**The cans are the weak link.** Dented and crushed cans on arrival is the most repeated complaint in an otherwise glowing set — one buyer counted 6 of 12 damaged on top. Amazon's refunds have been fast enough that several of those buyers still left five stars. Budget for one annoying claim anyway.
At $27.39 (as of August 14, 2026), the case works out to about $1.52 a can against $3-plus in a cooler. Quality isn't the question. Whether you'll drink the flavors you didn't pick is.
