The can is lots of fun, like the newer pressure-capped Monster XXL, which seemed to come around shortly after the Jolt Energy cans, which were the first I'd seen using this technology. The noteable difference being that Monster Nitrous is 12oz. can, so it's like the 24oz. cans that have been put in the dryer...which doesn't really make sense, since aluminum doesn't "draw up" in the dryer. It's not like these cans are made out of wool.
Anyway, lots of fancy modern grafixx on the can, a mishmash of green and black indicating that Monster has gotten a great graphics intern with a lot of Adobe Illustrator layer experience. Yeah right, Monster probably farmed out this job to some marketing firm and paid like $50k to get this can made, which may explain why they cost $3 each. Meanwhile, vector graphics of this quality are available online for $10 each with unrestricted use. Who am I to criticize, I can't charge $3 for a 12oz. drink and rook people into buying it.
Alright, so as for the rest of the can, it comes with a plastic film cover over the cap, which is somewhere around impossible to remove. I had to use scissors/nail clippers to get into each and every one. Even after cutting it, it still spirals off like peeling a spherical fruit/vegetable. So, the front of the can is bright Monster green, with "Super Dry" in some graffiti font, under the Monster "Claw", "Nitrous" is written in the same font. Then "Monster Energy" appears in the standard format. Moving onto the back, where Hansen Natural certainly has something longwinded to say, "Nitrous Monster Energy - Nitrous Oxide makes your car faster at the Drags", ('Drags?' Is that supposed to be hip lingo?), "but put it in a drink? Call us crazy, but we combined Nitrous Oxide with Carbon Dioxide in a precise ratio and injected it into our potent Monster Energy base", (usually referred to as "proprietary blend"), "Nitrous Monster has a unique texture, smooth drinkable flavor and buzz that's bigger than ever. This is no "Whip-it", but it will whip you good...Unleash the Nitro Beast!". Who writes this stuff
