Do you love energy drinks? Perhaps are you looking for a way to get a shot of energy without all of that extra sugar? If so, then you are the target market for Boomer Juice. While any energy drink that comes in a “healthy” sugar-free version will suffice, many still prefer the white can of Monster juice.
The original Boomer Juice is the sizeable white can that is low on sugar and carbs and features a large silver “M” on the front for Monster. This post unpacks the meaning and origin of this expression.
Meaning
Older adults are known for declining many of the high sugar, high-calorie options offered by energy drinks today. The term Boomer juice means an energy drink that is either low sugar or no sugar. If you hear the term Boomer Juice, it just means a better version of any popular adrenaline-boosting beverage on the market. The original version was released by the Monster brand and came in a white can with the trademarked “M” on the front.
Many companies came out with other sugar-free options that the boomer generation also enjoyed, but the big white can was the most popular and the one who started it all. Plenty of companies offer healthy versions of their energy-boosting drinks that have low or no carbs, and little to no sugar. Traditionally it is older adults who prefer Boomer juice, but there are plenty of younger people who are looking to curb their sugar consumption that enjoy it as well.

Origin
The phrase Boomer juice came from a meme in the Oomer Wojak series. The meme is a drawn older person who is holding a can of White Monster Energy Drink. The figure is in what is considered the natural habitat of a person from the Boomer generation, namely their front driveway in front of their car or garage. This meme was posted on 4Chan for the first time in 2018, specifically on May 4th.
Monster energy drinks started in 2002 when the monster energy drink company released some of its first energy drinks. One of the options was a big white can that featured no carbs and no sugar. Being health conscious but still wanting a pick-me-up that wasn’t coffee, baby boomers reached for the original boomer juice, the all-white monster energy drink can.
