    Can someone tell me what they’re trying to say with that line? Does someone in the Monster marketing department think the covers of history textbooks are… Exciting?

      “This isn’t a drink for some woke liberal blue-haired nerd!”

      It almost feels like negging. They’re somehow trying to appeal to the non-nerd by playing up fake nerd cred? I don’t know. It’s entirely too confusing.

      Well besides not having enough education to know AP and Honors classes are different things; they’re trying to raise a patriot boner when some maga walks up to the drink case so they’ll buy the can. ~“This drink is so patriotic that you’ll be an expert in US history, and (take a shot at europe because magas are anti-europe) this ain’t no small European can,” referencing the tendency for 330ml (11.1oz) cans in the eu instead of the 12oz (~473ml)

        The funny thing is I don’t think I’ve ever seen the 330 ml monster can. Not that I really been looking since I’ve had one monster drink at one point in my life, and felt like I was gonna die.

          I only do energy drinks if I’m on the road for long hours late at night, just before i know i’m going to get tired and I slowly ramp up until i get tired again anyway.

          Caffeine has more of a subtle effect on me.
