Calling canned water "Liquid Death" and shoving it out there for edgy teens to slurp up is 'comic book villain' levels of foreshadowing that they're going to try to pull off something comically shady, either in marketing or practice.
I accidentally bought some thinking it was seltzer like LaCroix, ended up being caffeinated and fake sweetened, tasted like absolute ass. I very much believe this dipshit that his company still hasn't made a profit after many years because the shit is disgusting.
Monster gave out a generic "diversity and inclusion" statement in 2020, only to get hammered for not saying BLM/Floyd/police brutality by name. As far as I know, they left it at that and didn't further ingratiate themselves.
Given how hard I see that shit shilled across half the grocery stores in my area, 300 million does not sound like much. They cost about four bucks a can so that's about 75 million sales in a year.
That'd be a lot if you were a local brand but it's not much for a company that immediately tried to go national. I'd wager given how this shit popped up overnight that they have a chunky marketing budget too.
It makes some sense that they wouldn't be showing a profit. This is not a comment on their ridiculous product or it's idiotic packaging.

Little-known fact: Grocery stores rent out their shelf space to vendors, with prime end caps and floor space costing more.
Imagine how much they would have to pay to outbid the likes of Coca-Cola or Mondelez, especially in the middle of October where every snack product has a limited-time Halloween gimmick that they want to get out.

Canned caffeinated water is the gayest thing you can put in your mouth, up to and including another man’s cock. Just have a Diet Monster you pussies!

Isn't Monster a woke company too? Wasn't it Red Bull against faggotry and DEI shit?
IDK Red Bull just seems like the most 90s company ever signing kids doing rad and dangerous shit.
I thought the Thai Monarchy was the majority shareholder and they're pretty based imo.

I'd rather they not even bothered to begin with. Although Dunkin and Chick-fil-A tried that and later cucked out.

Hell, I’ve seen ads for them on LINKEDIN
