I’m not a kid anymore, so I don’t entirely understand the fascination with energy drinks. If I were going to try the product on a consistent basis, however, I’d probably go with Rockstar energy drinks. First, I’ve found that free Rockstar energy drink coupons are easy to come by, which allows me to save money on each purchase. Second, it’s got the same name as the video game designers responsible for the Grand Theft Auto franchise. The latter may seem like a poor reason to choose a product, but I really enjoy being able to pick off people with a sniper rifle and murder prostitutes with a baseball bat. I would never commit such acts in real life, but I’m betting that Rockstar energy drinks would give me the necessary energy to do so.

The only time I feel like I need an energy drink is when I watch awful movies. Sitting in the dark in a comfortable chair, it’s a challenge to stay awake through films like The Thin Red Line, Titanic, and anything put out by Michael Bay. The next time I plan a night of cinema with my pals, maybe I’ll print off some printable Rockstar energy drink coupons (the online, printable version will also work) and stock up on the product.

History of Rockstar Energy Drinks

Rockstar was founded by Russell Weiner (I’m sure he had a pleasant childhood) in 1999, and immediately sought to compete against Red Bull by offering a can twice as big for the same price. By 2008, Rockstar had captured 14% of the global energy drink market, and it’s currently being marketed in more than 20 nations across the globe.

2004 was a landmark year for the product, as the energy drink craze (marketed to teens and young adults) resulted in a 155% growth in sales and a total revenue of nearly $50 million. Despite claims of certain health risks, Rockstar has continued their rise to become one of the top three energy drinks in the U.S. market and abroad.

No doubt, Mr. Weiner is having the last laugh on his high school classmates. As I write this, half the people who used to taunt him are probably sitting around their dimly-lit kitchen tables and clipping free, 2011 Rockstar coupons.

Types of Rockstar Energy Drinks

The following list includes all the various types of Rockstar Energy Drinks currently available on the market. While I was aware of the original Rockstar brand, I was surprised to learn that so many other high-energy soft drinks were being sold. It’s a virtual wonderland for lovers of caffeinated beverages.

• Original Rockstar

- The original brand of energy drink for those on the go, the classic Rockstar formula contains a massive dose of caffeine, as well as ginseng, milk thistle, guarana, and ginkgo. For best results, serve chilled. Whenever I get my hands on Rockstar energy drink coupons, this is the product I’ll be buying.

• Sugar Free Rockstar

- With zero carbs and plenty of milk thistle, this sugar free beverage provides a potent pick-me-up without expanding your waistline.

• Zero Carb

- The flavor tastes like wild berries, but it also has zero carbohydrates and 50% more caffeine that a regular can of Rockstar. As always, serve chilled to get the maximum flavor.

• Juiced – Mango

- All the energy of the original Rockstar drink, with the added flavors of orange, mango, and passion fruit.

• Juiced – Guava

- Combines tropical guava juice with the original formula that’s made Rockstar so successful.

• Juiced – Pomegranate

- High in antioxidants, this brand of energy juice will keep you going for hours and packs a delicious wallop.

• Punched

- Contains 50% more caffeine that the original Rockstar, Punched mixes the patented blend of guarana, milk thistle, ginseng, and ginkgo with a tangy series of tropical fruit flavors. Too bad they couldn’t have got Steven Seagal to endorse this one (since he punches people in the movies).

• Punched – Citrus

- Citrus punch flavors are combined with the classic Rockstar energy formula.

• Energy Cola

- Lightly carbonated, this energy drink is an ideal substitute for fans of Coke or Pepsi, but with more of a kick.

• Recovery

- Made with real juices, this drink is perfect for providing hydration and recovery after intense physical exertion. Sold in grape, orange, and lemonade flavors, Recovery contains caffeine, vitamin B, and electrolytes.

• Roasted

- The original Rockstar formula is combined with fresh milk and espresso coffee to surpass anything you could get at Starbucks. Four flavors are available, including Roasted Espresso, Mocha, Latte, and Light Vanilla (with half of the fat and calories of the other flavors). Each flavor contains 50% more caffeine that the classic Rockstar formula.

• Energy Shots

- Each small bottle contains 200mg of caffeine, as well as ingredients such as taurine, guarana, ginseng, and vitamin B. Consumers can choose from Tropical Punch and Wild Berry flavor, and there are zero carbs to worry about.

• Rockstar Energy Gum

- In addition to energy drinks, Rockstar also sells a line of gum guaranteed to boost your activity level. It’s sugar free, and each stick contains 80mg of caffeine for a quick boost of energy.

• Rockstar Pink

- Marketed for females, this energy drink contains zero sugar, zero carbs, and only 10 calories per can. Consumers can also expect to get the total recommended daily allowance of five B-vitamins (with caffeine and ginseng thrown into the mix at no extra charge).

• Rockstar 2X

- The strongest formula ever made by Rockstar, this brand includes twice the caffeine of the original formula, but with only 15 calories. There’s also a mixture of amino acids, vitamins, and herbs to lift your spirits and keep you going strong throughout the day.

Online, Printable Rockstar Coupons

I prefer online, printable Rockstar coupons, because I can find the specific item I’m looking for without having coupons fall all over my living room floor (which often happens when I’m trying to clip coupons from a newspaper). Whether I’m searching for 2011 coupons for Rockstar, or some later year, I can look forward to dozens of sites offering discounts and bargains. Just make sure you have a good anti-virus program, though, as certain sites may be infected. Personally, I have a few reliable coupon sites that I trust, and I visit them exclusively.

If you’re old school when it comes to savings, you can also find Rockstar coupons in the Sunday newspaper or in numerous magazines geared to a younger audience. This takes more time, as you have to sift through coupons for household goods and other products, but the end result is still the same.

A Final Word on Rockstar

In the middle of writing this article, I decided to go to the store and buy a can of the original Rockstar drink. I did get a bit jittery after finishing off the product, and I noticed from the label that it contained 62 grams of sugar and 280 calories. I don’t know if I’ll be buying any Rockstar in the future. Instead, I might stick with my first love: Dr Pepper. To read what I learned about Dr Pepper coupons, follow the handy link I provided.

Or maybe I’ll try Rockstar again–just in more moderation. If I do, I have two wonderful options for saving money. First, I can clip Rockstar energy drink coupons from the local newspaper or national magazines. Second, I can head to the Internet and find online, printable Rockstar coupons within a matter of minutes. Some of these discounts are good for 2011 and even 2012. Keep checking back and I’ll post others that can be redeemed even later. Whatever the case, saving money always makes me feel like a rock star.
