Somewhere out there a dudebro on a dirt bike is looking at this monstrosity and thinking it’s an awesome idea.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 month ago

I would honestly try it. And regret it

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wait... Am I a dude bro now?

If I did this I'd be worried every time I started my car

Car bombs were a specialty of some people there

When I drank Guinness from a can for the first time, I had no idea it contained a little plastic ball. So at first, I thought the can had been tainted. When I found out that it must have been added at the factory, I became really annoyed by that damn ball.
That night, I had a vivid dream of drinking Guinness from a glass and the plastic ball had turned into a fly that kept diving back into the beer as soon as I fished it out. The whole time, Grandfather Westinghouse played in the background.
Pointless story, I know...

Everything sounds like AI to me now.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are our dreams AI now? (This sounds like something from a futurama episode.)

What the fuck does that monster mean by "Super Dry"...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

Less/No sugar. The dryness of a beverage is about the sugar content/sweetness. Though, I've usually only seen it applied to alcohol.

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 month ago

It's normally used in alcohol specifically to refer to liquid with low fermentable sugars remaining, typically meant that it's been fermented "fully". Beers like Japanese lagers have both low fermentable and (mostly) non fermentable sugars left (and are tasty)

Monster Nitro refers to Monster Nitro Super Dry, an energy drink that uses nitrous oxide for a smooth, creamy, and "dry" texture and a citrus flavor. It contains a classic Monster energy blend, including caffeine, taurine, and B-vitamins, to provide an energy boost. The drink is packaged in 16-ounce cans and has a unique, light, and fizzy feel similar to fine champagne.

Just more drinking?

[–] IDraw4u@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

Guinster or nothing.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

My heart hurts just looking at that.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I vomited yesterday looking at this today.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

Cursed stout snakebite

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

OMG... I didn't even drink that and I still want to puke.

I'll be trying it next Friday though, lol

[–] moobythegoldensock 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is one of those drinks that sounds awesome in college, interesting in your 20s, and disgusting once you hit 30.

Is monster actually that green colour? I've never tried it and assumed it was a normal colour and the green was just the can design

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

What's "normal" for energy drinks? It's all artificial colors anyway. Can be dyed anything

Edit: but, yes. It's that color

[–] petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Golden piss is actually pretty normal:

You'd think Monsters would be green, but they're not actually. At least, not the main flavor.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

ah, right, the classic one is more dehydrated piss color.

The nitro one is that atomic green, though
