Pretty sure this is a poke at 8oz Red Bulls and not their own brand... But, you know, anything to make fun of the idiot Americans, eh?

Amateurs:

I thought it was that most Americans would be too ignorant to know that the European one is larger anyway and they wouldn’t bother to check. They’d just think “fuck yeah, murica” or something, and get back to their 78 hour working week.

Imma grip n’ sip.

Faxe Kondi Danechad 1lt cans mog that

Sucks, too, because 1/3 pound was the right size. Two 1/4 pound patties are too much, which is the only option now, since, yes, Americans are poorly educated. And, it's getting worse.

I'm not blaming teachers, at all. Their hands are tied by admin and parents.

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)

Don’t forget your piss-poor food standards.

My mom bought me one of these from Estonia, 900ml.

I worked at McDs during the 1/3 Angus burger and... yes. It happened, more times than I'd like. I tried convincing a couple people, then after that who cared. I was getting $8/hr. Fuck it it's a worse deal and you get a smaller burger but you do you genius.

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.

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.

They could have just called them (checks converter) 4oz and 5.28oz burgers

This feels like a metaphor...

just get the 1/10 lb patties like the value burgers and add 2 more on.

I used to work in a deli. Our scales gave weights in decimals, people always ordered in fractions. One day someone asked for an eighth of a pound. My coworker asks me "Is that .8?" I politely told her "it's .125, so it needs to say about .13." I guess part of it was panic, maybe if she had thought about it for a second she would have gotten it, but to think it's more than a half pound was crazy. People ask for a half pound all the time.

Is that centiliters? I wasn't aware that was a commonly used unit. I've only ever seen ml. But how does the 50+6.5 thing work? Is there like a second reservoir, or is it just a different way of saying 56.5cl?

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.

That tracks, considering at some American sports stadiums you can buy a regular (20oz) beer for $4 that neatly fills up the cup for a large beer (24oz allegedly) that costs $7. Humans in general, and Americans in particular, are not good at judging beverage volumes.

What the heck is happening in the middle panel the cups don't make any sense

MANLY EXTRA STRAWBERRY DREAMS!!

AI slop version of this:

AI upscale always looks trash. It’s so obviously bad.

We have cl on a lot of stuff here too, in northern Europe. And many recipes use deciliters! Love deciliters! Metric is fun!
And as a small side rant, honestly cups can go to hell, worst way to measure for a recipe! Liquids, sure if you must, but flour and sugar needs to be by weight goddammit!

I don't know about the US, but in Canada Red Bull comes in 250ml, 355ml, and 500ml sizes.

We have food standards?!?

Very appropriate username!

You can tell that's an old article because you haven't been able to get a $4 beer in sports stadiums in forever. I ordered a tall boy at a baseball game this season and it set me back $20!

What's an even funnier experiment with toddlers is to give yourself two cookies and the kid only one. When they're upset you break their cookie in half so that they now have "two" and are satisfied.

Americans have too much freedom to bother with pesky little details like that. Don't you know how bad some Jethro-Bobby-named dumbass thinks it is over here?

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"

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

We got got to go back to elementry school yo hahahaha 🤣

I didn't know they were European, good times

Me too!

The gram: Am I a joke to you?

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

Apparently that is actually the measurement of gravity in the Plato scale. The beer has 4.9% abv, and 12 degrees of gravity (??)

Here's what I found from wikipedia

"By considering the original gravity, the brewer or vintner obtains an indication as to the probable ultimate alcoholic content of their product. The OE (original extract) is often referred to as the "size" of the beer and is, in Europe, often printed on the label as Stammwürze or sometimes just as a percent. In the Czech Republic, for example, common descriptions are "10 degree beers", "12 degree beers" which refer to the gravity in Plato of the wort before the fermentation."

Yeah, Austrian with the original development done in Vietnam

I didn't even see the "4.9%“. I thought it was one of those horrible beers. Plato scale. OK, I learnt something.

The "euro can" is 33cl/330ml

They also never get pointing at things right

Thailand I believe.

I can get that. Whenever I am sharing my screen or someone is watching me use a computer I turn into a boomer. I can't type. I can't find anything. I lose where the mouse is. Very annoying!

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.

Wait but they do sell a 16 oz one according to redbull

I don't live in the US of A, tho
