A self-proclaimed ‘avid energy drink drinker’ has some questions about Alani after she switched to the cult-followed energy drink. Her doubts had people coming forth with their own strange experiences with the TikTok-beloved beverage.
In a viral clip, TikToker Ashley (@ashleyhorning87) says she has been drinking Alani Nu energy drinks for the past month after being influenced by the video-sharing platform. She’s no stranger to energy drinks, so Ashley was surprised to discover that it made her feel odd.
“White monsters are my favorite, but I switched to Alani thinking it was probably a healthier choice,” Ashley says. “But I have been feeling off.”
Ashley describes feeling “sick” and more tired. She then asks her viewers if they have experienced the same. Turns out, they have.
She’s not alone
Ashley’s clip earned over 200,000 views, with several commenters validating her concerns. Many shared their own strange experience drinking Alani Nu.
One user who drank it once claimed they were nauseous for hours after: “I haven’t had one since.” Another reported bloating, which Ashley said she also experienced.
When one said their eye was “constantly twitching” since drinking the energy drink, Ashley once again shared that it happened to her, too.
Others alleged that the fact that Celsius, another popular energy drink, bought Alani caused some changes.
“I have been drinking Alani since they came out with no issues until Celsius bought them out and now they are definitely making me feel weird,” one wrote.
Did Celsius buying Alani change anything?
When Celsius finalized the acquisition of Alani back in April for 1.8 billion, several eyebrows were raised. Namely, die-hard Alani fans who were scared something that wasn’t broken would be fixed. However, in a FAQ section on its website, Celsius assured consumers that no changes to Alani’s ingredients had been made. Formula change or not, several viewers have reported strange side effects allegedly caused by drinking the energy drink.
One high schooler ended up in the ER after she passed out from drinking them frequently, while another user recently went viral for getting “stroke-like” symptoms from the beverage. While the caffeine content in Alani Nu–200 mg–is considered safe by the Food and Drug Administration standards, it’s important to note that every consumer is different. What may be normal for one may be too much for another, more sensitive user.
