It’s a Thai and Austrian company.

This is the original Red Bull

An Austrian dude found this drink in Thailand and then negotiated a deal with the family that owns Krating Deng (Red Bull) so he could sell a fizzy version in Europe and later the rest of the world.

Thanks to that Austrian guy that Thai family is now the richest family in Thailand.

Yeah, Austrian with the original development done in Vietnam

I hate to ruin things for you, but the founder was a right wing piece of shit.

Red Bull straight up own the Red Bull Ring racing track in Austria, formerly Österreichring i.e. ‘Austrian circuit’.

In the US you can get 8.4oz (248ml), 12oz (355ml), 16oz (473ml), 20oz (591ml).

The "euro can" is 33cl/330ml

Red Bull is Thai, but its marketed as british in America.

Nobody understands Imperial.

They don't understand insert basically anything either though.

Tbf does anybody? It's a pretty stupid system.

Nooo they can't mean the most famous energy drink in the world with its uniquely small can that shares a shelf with it! They MUST mean the European Monster cans that exist on the other side of the planet!

my brain has to be under very specific conditions to do math. if any of those conditions change i draw a blank. adding a $5 tip sounds easy right? it's just +5. Not when some teenager is watching you. it's like peeing in public. here it comes... damnit someone walked in.... oh near they can instant piss. probably doing calculus in their head too.

How old were they? That is forth grade math.

The mushroom Swiss was genuinely a great burger. Of course hardly anyone ordered it.

Don’t think beverage,

chug beverage

Yup. Taurine for pep. Same reason they put it in cheap dog food.

I dont like the normal energy drinks, they indeed taste like piss, but oh my gawd all these fucking sour apple guava fruit punched in my face shit tastes great 😭 please Lemmy, give me an alternative

People come to like what they consume regularly. People's insecure clinging to dietary preferences is so short sighted, pointless, and harmful.

Funnily enough, that would be pretty hard to find in Estonia these days, only a few alcohol stores carry Russian stuff anymore

Very multi-cultural though, you got a "czech style" beer made in Russia from Estonia

Of course the truly big beers come in 2 liter bottles and are consumed by... well let's say not the favourite customers of store clerks working in small grocery stores in small towns.

12 volts, 900ml. It would be a 2 days hangover for me.

Reminds me of this one I found in Germany, 1l & 10%

What is 12% and what is 4.9%?

Yes, Switzerland is weirdly obsessed with centilitres, not sure why. But it's metric so it's not a big deal.

is it just a different way of saying 56.5cl?

Yes.

Common enough in a drinks context. But really, that doesn't matter because it's metric: you're not going to end up with 4269 fartbuckets to the whateverthefuck. Instead it says centi so it's a 100th of the thing, which is barely even mental arithmetic at all.

It's slightly larger than the standard 500ml can, the + is because they'd like to emphasize the "bonus"

It's basically just saying "hey, it's more than 50cl!" (Which is a common can size). It's a pretty stupidly small amount to have different cans and advertise for IMO, at least make it 10cl more.

Hey! Thats 78hr workweek, no healthcare, and poorer living conditions to you! (Plus delivering food on the side so we have money to lose on sports betting)

3 is smaller than 4. And they don’t understand fractions

Not a teacher, are you? lol

You'd be surprised how bad our education system is.

"Contract" 💀💀💀

For added confusion, pints are different sizes on either side of the pond too

I don't want a large Farva

I'd rather have 2

If I had to have cola I'd probably prefer 250ml or 330ml depending whether I was sitting at a table or climbing a hill.

The gram: Am I a joke to you?

"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.

I'm convinced that most marketing copy is ai generated these days.

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)

It really depends on the stadium how much they gouge you. $20 is more than every NFL stadium charges for 16 oz (about 48 cl) of beer according to this as of February 2026: https://1075thefan.com/...

Heh, true. But however the numbers change, you can be sure that the game remains the same.

You don't have monster chicken?

Flavour is one of the lowest dietary priorities. If you eat it regularly and it is remotely similar to food, you will come to enjoy it. Why not fall in love with something you control rather than with something a corporation is openly trying to use to control YOU??

AI slop version of this:

They also never get pointing at things right

Exactly. Water from higher elevation tastes better. That's why I only buy Figi Arrowhead Calistoga Spring water.

It's a real enough thing that kids do. If you mean the fact that it's a completely pointlessly sloppified AI version where the water slops on the outside because slop, you're completely right.
