From memory that flavour of monster specifically is even more sugary than normal almost being more of a syrup than a drink. And that's compared to normal Monster which is already pretty much a sugar syrup
yeah it contains nitrous oxide and the can even says it contains milk. it definitely is a creamier thicker texture. it doesn't even really fizz it kinda just foams up
Lol, they're just confused. All the nitro beers and drinks use nitrogen gas for their bubbles (smaller bubbles, creamier texture, and sweeter taste).
Some people see "nitro" and just think nitrous oxide.
Edit: maybe I'm the confused one. Nitrous oxide canisters are how they infuse drinks with nitrogen.
You are indeed the confused one lol, it’s infused with nitrous gas! But so is Guinness, even from the can they have a nitrous ball in them that supposedly creates the same effect
It is infused with nitrous oxide, however the main source of bubbles in the monster nitro is still normal carbonization. At least that's how it is here in Sweden and you can check it by having a look at the ingredient list and seeing that carbonated water is high up
I was in California last summer and found something called Pepsi Nitro.
It has a widget in the can, and makes the Pepsi ridiculously smooth, with a massive froth on top.
Turns out, this is the absolute worst way to drink Pepsi.
Turns out smoother Pepsi just means flat lol, I love stout beers and a lot of them have nitro widgets so I was pumped when I saw nitro Pepsi. What a disappointment.
I fell in love with Nitro Pepsi. Specifically the vanilla one. I have to refrain myself from buying them often because I have and will continue to chug all 4 in less than 20 minutes. The smooth creaminess of nitrogen bubbles and vanilla taste is heavenly. It's like drinking an ice cream float.
Was looking for this. Found those a little while ago in a cool convenience/glass store and have to restrain myself because I also try to avoid sugar. Nice treat every now and then though.
Also didn't know there was nitro monster. I like monster more than pepsi so I have a feeling this will be my last comment.
It’s is. The nitrogen gives it a thick feel. It’s not any heavier or denser than regular beer. The small nitrogen bubbles give it a creamy texture. Try a Nitro Brew coffee. Same concept.
Is there a viscosity measure?
Now I also wonder how viscosity differs from density..
Now my mind is blown
Only beer could make me feel smarter and dumber at the same time
I found useful information!
[Guinness is just barely denser than water, and about twice as viscous.](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-42094-0)
For reference, milk is around 7 times as viscous as water.
Ah ok makes sense. 55g seems too much to dissolve in water but I checked and actually you can dissolve 200g of sugar in 100ml of water. So you could even fit 1 fucking kg in this can.
I formerly worked at an Olive Garden restaurant in the southern US. One particular drink that is obsessively drank there is sweet tea, and every restaurant is expected to serve it.
When I was given the assignment of preparing sweet tea, they directed me to a container for mixing drinks. If I am correct, it had somewhere around 15 liters of tea. I was told to dump two 4-pound bags of sugar into the tea, so roughly 3.6 kilograms.
To the best of my abilities, I could not dissolve anymore sugar as it began to participate towards the bottom. The customers complained it wasn’t sweet enough.
Usually dissolving is just about time and agitation. Heat can speed it up.
So if you're carefully stirring in the same motion over and over, the sugar will take longer to dissolve than if you were to use the fold-strats, alternate clockwise/c-clockwise and with enough volume you'd likely also need to get some vertical action in there.
I’ll try it tomorrow and describe it
Ive had white monster with light beer and that was not terrible but too trashy and red necky even for me so I’ll gird up my loins and make even worse life decisions than I already planned on
Surprisingly it wasn't bad. And by that I mean redbull vodka is better, but Gonster is better than red wine cola
Edit: [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/meirl/s/b0kP6ajQTj)
Given that they're both "carbonated" with nitrogen, this might not be as random of a pairing as it first seems.
Still absolutely cursed though. This some dark mage alchemy shit.
Been to a bar which served a "snake bite", which was a sour beer with a stout layered on top like in the picture. Considering the flavor profile of sour beers, can't imagine this would taste significantly different.
My opinion is the snake bite was delicious.
you sure ? when I worked construction in SF, half the people I worked with was drinking monster every day. Usually, the stocky built, average height, Puerto-Rican or deep south, working dad types with Tacomas or F150s.
* The color is like [her hair](https://i.redd.it/rd5m94tit7d41.jpg)
* The Eilish/Irish reference to Guinness
* She's enough of a pop icon that you can actually picture bartenders doing this (if this drink wasn't an abomination)
You could at least acknowledge the tweet you stole this joke from: [https://x.com/justingrayesq/status/1783603689107644497](https://x.com/justingrayesq/status/1783603689107644497)
As an American who drinks just about anything fermented while having a crippling caffeine addiction; I have no clue if I would drink this or bottoms up it.
As a fellow Irishman currently drinking a Guinness, I'm now hugging my pint in appreciation, knowing it'll never suffer this fate. Good Jaysus is nothing sacred anymore?
As a not Irishman but someone who really likes Ireland, I feel physically sick. I‘m gonna run to the store real quick to buy every Guinness just to spare them this fate, brb
I was a a bus in Dublin years ago and one of the chrome Guinness tanker trucks pulled up beside it, and a 5yo African girl turned to her mother and pointed to it and said “that’s daddy’s drink!”
how to layer a cocktail for chumps:
Shake the alcohol you want on the bottom with 10-20ml sugar syrup at 3/1 sugar/water ratio and pour into glass
Slowly pour what you want on top over the bottom liquid using a bar spoon to reduce the chance of breaking surface tension with your pour.
There are many beer cocktail combos that put guinness on top of other pale ales / lagers. I don't know the physics of it, but guinness is lower in alcohol and also nitrogenated instead of carbonated, so that might contribute.
Hilarious. If you're not up on bartending, there are a huge number of drinks that are half guiness, half something else.
The most famous is the "Black and Tan" (Guinness and some English bitter). This is a fucking fighting drink. Don't order this outside the states.
But the combinations are endless:
Guinness + Harp Lager = Half & Half
Guinness + Smithwicks = Blacksmith
Guinness + St. Pauli Girl = Black Beauty
Guinness + Strongbow Cider = Black Velvet (Guinness and any cider is often called "A Dirty Hippy" in the States)
Guinness and Monster is a goddamn abomination though. Maybe Guinness and Bucky, if you're looking to get proper fucked, Celtic style.
I'm sorry, is this what monster nitro looks like?
I feel like I'm too European for this, but I'm not drinking something that looks like liquid plutonium
Guinness has a perfectly good break point at the N to make Guinster, or the reverse in Monness (the latter being undoubtedly inferior)
I spent an inordinate amount of time creating portmanteaus
It must be disgusting but oh Boi that's looking good in the glass
Assuming it’s real, I’m really surprised the monster is denser than the Guinness. It looks weirdly better this way though
From memory that flavour of monster specifically is even more sugary than normal almost being more of a syrup than a drink. And that's compared to normal Monster which is already pretty much a sugar syrup
yeah it contains nitrous oxide and the can even says it contains milk. it definitely is a creamier thicker texture. it doesn't even really fizz it kinda just foams up
What the fuck am I reading, are ya'll drinking racecar fuel or smth?
Lol, they're just confused. All the nitro beers and drinks use nitrogen gas for their bubbles (smaller bubbles, creamier texture, and sweeter taste).

While I don’t doubt that, it’s definitely a smoother taste than the other monsters
It's called a widget, and it is used to create or manage the head. So yeah to the rest of your statement.
I used to work with the son of the fella who invented the widget. True story.
Did you thank them for their service?
Manage the head you say??
I was in California last summer and found something called Pepsi Nitro. It has a widget in the can, and makes the Pepsi ridiculously smooth, with a massive froth on top. Turns out, this is the absolute worst way to drink Pepsi.
Turns out smoother Pepsi just means flat lol, I love stout beers and a lot of them have nitro widgets so I was pumped when I saw nitro Pepsi. What a disappointment.
It’s nitrogen gas (N2), not nitrous oxide (NO2) EDIT: apparently I am the confused one also. Guinness uses nitrogen gas, monster uses nitrous oxide.
This thread is a mess.
It's due to multiple methods being used and labeled the same.
It’s by far my favorite monster, I don’t drink it very often because I want zero sugar but every now and then I’ll get one
I fell in love with Nitro Pepsi. Specifically the vanilla one. I have to refrain myself from buying them often because I have and will continue to chug all 4 in less than 20 minutes. The smooth creaminess of nitrogen bubbles and vanilla taste is heavenly. It's like drinking an ice cream float.

Also didn't know there was nitro monster. I like monster more than pepsi so I have a feeling this will be my last comment.
It's definitely an experience..I didn't believe in creamy monster either, but it really has that mouth feel
It makes you go vroom vroom fast.
Last time I checked, monster was a brownish, failing kidneys color.
I once had a Guinness Snakebite for a dare and the cider sits lower than the Guinness in that too. Guinness is deceptively light
I always assumed that it was the nitrogen.
It’s is. The nitrogen gives it a thick feel. It’s not any heavier or denser than regular beer. The small nitrogen bubbles give it a creamy texture. Try a Nitro Brew coffee. Same concept.
Guinness is lower calorie than the average beer, always seems to surprise people because I guess it has a 'thicker' flavor than like your basic lager.
Is there a viscosity measure? Now I also wonder how viscosity differs from density.. Now my mind is blown Only beer could make me feel smarter and dumber at the same time
I found useful information! [Guinness is just barely denser than water, and about twice as viscous.](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-42094-0) For reference, milk is around 7 times as viscous as water.
Surprised it's denser...? It's 50% sugar or something. It's 53g of sugar in UK monster.
Jesus what? In Germany it is 11g
11g per 100 ml so 55g sugar per can. So more than what the UK has in their can. I assume they did a conversion error or derped.
Ah ok makes sense. 55g seems too much to dissolve in water but I checked and actually you can dissolve 200g of sugar in 100ml of water. So you could even fit 1 fucking kg in this can.

Was it cold. Think more dissolves if hot. Physics 101.
Usually dissolving is just about time and agitation. Heat can speed it up. So if you're carefully stirring in the same motion over and over, the sugar will take longer to dissolve than if you were to use the fold-strats, alternate clockwise/c-clockwise and with enough volume you'd likely also need to get some vertical action in there.
Challenge accepted.
Aesthetically, kind of. But I ain't ever drinking that. It looks like a videogame poison flask that insta kills you
The monster looks so comically like nuclear waste lmao Im convinced if the lights were off that shit would glow
"My potions are too strong for you, traveler."
I agree that it looks cool but I just want to point out Monster Energy Drink isn’t actually the color of its logo.
Well this is the most cursed thing I’ve seen this morning
It’s still early. Keep on trying!
Depends, it's almost 1600 where I am
Funny considering it's 2024 in most other places /s
He's American
Damn how'd you even get the internet back then
Don't tell the others as they'd most likely burn me ;)
The most cursed part is, that despite it sounding horrible, I still feel an urge to try it
DO IT! Report back (if you're still alive)
I’ll try it tomorrow and describe it Ive had white monster with light beer and that was not terrible but too trashy and red necky even for me so I’ll gird up my loins and make even worse life decisions than I already planned on

Saaame bro!
Haven’t looked in the mirror yet huh I’ll see myself out

Where I'm from Snakebite is cider, lager and a swirl of blackcurrant squash. Delicious and dangerous

You clever mother fucker, you were probably smiling when you wrote that
It was the top reply to the original twitter post
Oh, arunnm24 wasn't clever then.
Obviously. They're a Redditor.
Oh, I am Redditor too! Nice to meet you!
Well you’re not so unique, ya know.
They fucking should

Oh no, someone copied someone else's joke on the internet? Call the internet police!
Relevant to their comment you silly bitch
Thats so good LOL
Man I wish gold was still a thing, that is so clever for like three reasons lol
Name all 3
- Billie Eilish - Irish - The two jokes but now together
Gottt eeemmmm
I'm looking at the man in the mirror 🪞 👀
-The green to black transition.
Lol, this comment is so clever for like two and a half reasons.
Name all 2.5
-Explains the joke -makes new joke -It has
one of them definitely other than the wordplay is the hair color. but I fail to see the third.
Maybe because zoomers drink monster?
you sure ? when I worked construction in SF, half the people I worked with was drinking monster every day. Usually, the stocky built, average height, Puerto-Rican or deep south, working dad types with Tacomas or F150s.

Last one is a bit of a stretch lol
Billie Irish sounds like Billie Eilish Guinness is an Irish beer Billie Eilish was famous for having lime green and black hair for awhile
He said *like* three things not *actually* three things.
You know this person is walking around, happily understanding that they won the entire internet today
I mean it was on Twitter before they posted it
You could at least acknowledge the tweet you stole this joke from: [https://x.com/justingrayesq/status/1783603689107644497](https://x.com/justingrayesq/status/1783603689107644497)
Lmmaooo /u/arunmn24 was perfectly happy to silently take all the credit but you shut that down
NARC
Lmao wtf is this cringe? He should credit a comment/joke now? Y'all are fucking chronically online.
All the "broooo youre so crazy so genius for this" comments and this tweet was doing numbers hours earlier
[удалено]
The Muinness
As an Irish person, I'm not sure if this should offend me, or I should be happy
As an American who drinks just about anything fermented while having a crippling caffeine addiction; I have no clue if I would drink this or bottoms up it.
Now try replacing the monster with kombucha for a double dose of fermentation.
I'm offended by it, but I also love Guinness. Seems like such a waste of good beer.
You need to hand in your citizenship because that shit is a god-damned international incident.
As a fellow Irishman currently drinking a Guinness, I'm now hugging my pint in appreciation, knowing it'll never suffer this fate. Good Jaysus is nothing sacred anymore?
As a not Irishman but someone who really likes Ireland, I feel physically sick. I‘m gonna run to the store real quick to buy every Guinness just to spare them this fate, brb
Can you die from drinking this?
Probably not but you'd want to
Yes but you have to drink 30
Only on St. Paddy’s Day.
Mercifully, yes.
That fucking monster… i collect cans and that shit when i tried it straight up tastes like Lead. But Gonster… you made a bio-weapon.
Gotta suck to live in a part of the world where you learn how Lead tastes.
Funny enough, lead is supposed to taste sweet. That's where the whole "eating paint chips" joke comes from.
Plot twist: He lives in the US
I thought plot twists were meant to be unexpected
Big oofins
Big Flint Michigan vibes
That's not a plot twist
Like.. a can on the side of the interstate? Probably tastes like a lot of things tbf.
Interestingly enough, monster nitro is one of the better energy drinks monster has IMHO
monster nitro is also like Guinness The bubbles come from nitrogen being in the drink.
It’s so smooth especially poured over ice
You didn't try it out of an old can, did you?
Don't knock it till you've tried it
Don't knock it til you've died from it
[I tried it yesterday.](https://imgur.com/a/lDBCo6n) It was kinda good actually
How is there a liquid more dense than Guinness
Other than its color, Guiness is essentially a light beer. 125 calories and 4.2% alcohol. *North American Guiness
If you can get it, you should try Nigerian Guinness. 7.5% from memory and actually pretty good
I was a a bus in Dublin years ago and one of the chrome Guinness tanker trucks pulled up beside it, and a 5yo African girl turned to her mother and pointed to it and said “that’s daddy’s drink!”

Most beers are denser than Guinness, try a black and tan someday. Bass and Guinness.
Yeah I wouldn’t order one of those in Ireland The Black and Tans committed numerous atrocities against the Irish during the Irish war of independence
THANK YOU, THIS IS WHAT I CAME HERE TO SAY.
Alcohol is less dense than water, so Guinness is less dense than plain water. Sugary drinks like Monster are more dense than water.
There are many beer cocktail combos that put guinness on top of other pale ales / lagers. I don't know the physics of it, but guinness is lower in alcohol and also nitrogenated instead of carbonated, so that might contribute.
I like both but not like this
Not like this...

Guinness + Cider is a Snakebite just about everywhere. Never heard it called a dirty hippie. Guinness and Pear Cider is called a Bruised Pear
Neat! Guinness and Strongbow has always been a Crown Float to me (Canada)
Sweet baby Jesus noooooooooooooooooooo Why would anyone desecrate a perfectly good Guinness ….my goodness!
Guiness from a can so not too much of a loss
You realize the Guinness you get at a pub is just stored in a large metal can right? It's not like piped straight from the Guiness factory.
With the worst tasting monster too...
I think I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.
Well go on then, we're waiting
Looks like it should be caramel apple flavored, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it's not.
I would have opted for "guinster" but thats just me.
What the…
That's disgusting and horrific.
Why don’t you mind your Muinness, I’ll drink it when I’m good and ready.
I'm sorry, is this what monster nitro looks like? I feel like I'm too European for this, but I'm not drinking something that looks like liquid plutonium
I haven't confirmed on that specific flavor but generally monster in the US is not radioactive color
TWU you toob.
Drink combo coming in nicely toobs
An Irish Cobra, takes a refined palette to enjoy such a unique drink combo.
I got acid reflux by looking at the picture
Oh my god... can I have a sip?
Guinness has a perfectly good break point at the N to make Guinster, or the reverse in Monness (the latter being undoubtedly inferior) I spent an inordinate amount of time creating portmanteaus
that is a glyphid slammer
One day I'll break and make one just to try
Glyphid slammers for everybody! It's slammin' time yaaaah!
This image is proof that either God does not exist or if he does, he hates us but lacks the motivation to destroy us all with fire.
Why does this need the name "goblin"?
Since a shot dropped in a guinness is insensitively called and Irish Carbomb, could we call this an American School Shooting?
Gotta chug that bad boy
Poor dude is probably just trying to preserve the sanctity of his butthole, that drink looks like it would be Ex-Lax on crack.
If Billie Eyelash was a drink.
I've never been so disgusted and appealed in one image since now
I would rather attempt to force my dick into an electrical outlet than drink that...
This is a war crime on us (Irish) or treason if they are Irish.
How dare you sully the majesty of Guinness with that vile energy scum, bleurgh
Looks like used motor oil on top of anti-freeze 🤢😂
This is clearly a Black and Green.
Boston’s Finest
It's time to stop
I can hear the entire population of Ireland screaming internally.
I think the three worst things the people of Ireland have had to endure are the British, Famine and whatever the fuck this is.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should
Someone needs to be shot for this
Do you want to start a war with the Irish?
As a german, I feel a duty to protest this abomination of a beer. I send nothing but soidarity towards ireland! You deserve better.
Eww nasty… brb boutta go make one
The shrek
The entirety of Ireland just grabbed their pitchforks
Ireland wants to talk to you, out back, behind the building. Out of sight of the cameras!
Jesus Christ.... It's like the devil's snake bite
This needs to purged in the holy fire. Wtf is this abomination
Guys, please take this down. I live in England and I can hear the Irish screaming all the way over the sea.
This is an abomination and should not be allowed to continue to exist. Destroying perfectly good Guinness like this they should be ashamed
BLASPHEMY!
This is a hate crime
Well fuck now i'm gonna have to try this
This should considered to be a crime.
As an alcoholic i dont see the problem
Billie Irish
I shit my pants just looking at this
You haven't touched your Billie Irish.
I'll have a Black 'n Antifreeze.
