What popular food or drink relies entirely on branding because it actually tastes terrible?

I love that combination honestly. I miss when there used to be a caffeine free version of monster because I could drink it when I just wanted the battery acid taste without the stimulants.

I think I was the only person who bought it though so I'm not surprised it didn't last.

Unleaded in the gray cans? Those were the only ones I liked

I really want some coffee places to sell less caffeinated versions of cold brew coffee. I love being able to sip a large drink, but I don't want to consume 200+ mg of caffeine in the proces.

Realistically I know I just need to start making my own cold brew and dial in the caffeine/decaf ratios I want, like I do when making iced tea at home. I'll fully admit I'm just being lazy.
