    To be fair, that marketing language is likely pointed at the main competitor of Monster drinks in US - Red Bull. Which is a European brand and is packaged in smaller cans.

      That’s weird. Does the audience know that Monster is US American and Red Bull is European?

        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.

          If it’s Austrian why do they use a bull instead of a kangaroo?
