Just when we thought the rainy season had started, consecutive typhoons hit. Even as we pray for them to pass quickly, scorching hot days await us after the rainy season ends. To endure such harsh weather every day, we need at least some kind of salvation. Even if it happens to be forbidden... Today, we will be reviewing the latest Monster Energy release, the forbidden flavor: Monster Bad Apple.
A Huge Apple Arrives at Saiga NAK. What Could It Be...?
One day, a huge apple-shaped box arrived at the Saiga NAK editorial department. What in the world could this be...?
It is engraved with a mark that looks somewhat familiar.
Peel.
Peel, peel.
As we opened it with a mix of anticipation and caution...
To our surprise, inside was Monster Bad Apple, which launched on Tuesday, June 30, 2026. What a stylish presentation!
The new Monster Bad Apple is part of the popular Juice Monster series. It marks the very first apple flavor for the series!

What is the Energy Poem for Monster Bad Apple...?
The Energy Poem, a familiar staple of the Monster series! Let's check it out.
Japanese (the one we have):
試したくないか？

他のリンゴ風味飲料のことは忘れてくれ。
Bad Appleはマジで美味い。
楽園から追い出されてでも飲む価値がある。
爽やかでドライなアップル風味。
甘すぎず、喉越しも滑らか。
罪深いほどに素晴らしい味わいで、伝説のモンスターエナジーブレンドがふんだんに詰まっている。English:
Tempted to try? We hope so!
Juice Monster Bad Apple
isn’t like anything you’ve ever
had before.Forget your regular apple juice.
Bad Apple’s enticing taste is
completely one-of-a kind.Take a bite. It’s got a crisp,
dry apple flavor that’s not too
sweet and goes down smooth.
Sinfully great taste and
packed with a full load of our
legendary Monster Energy blend.
A rebellious energy poem reminiscent of the "forbidden fruit" in the Garden of Eden. Letting yourself be tempted by the devil might actually be part of the fun...!

Time for a Taste!
Thanks for waiting! Let's dive right in and taste Monster Bad Apple.
What poured out was a rich, honey-like golden liquid. It looks somewhat mesmerizing, as if it were truly squeezed right out of the "forbidden fruit"...
Ultimately, the temptation was impossible to resist. As if drawn in by the shining liquid, taking a sip lets the slightly strong carbonation pleasantly stimulate the tongue. However, that is only for a brief moment, as the mellow sweetness of the fruit juice immediately fills the mouth. The pleasure of the carbonation and sweetness does not fade even after swallowing, remaining until the exact moment the aroma escapes through your nose. This is exactly what the forbidden fruit is all about...!
Monster Bad Apple has been available since Tuesday, June 30, 2026! It is just human nature to want something more when it is forbidden. Why not give in to temptation and pick up a Bad Apple to experience this forbidden flavor for yourself?
