Might be too late to ask, but what does this number mean?
The drink or this community?
The drink is called -196 because they flash freeze the fruit used to flavour it using liquid nitrogen and liquid nitrogen evaporates at -196°C.
This community is called 196 because it's named after the original r/196 subreddit, which was created after the r/195 shit posting subreddit shut down, which was named after the subreddit owners old college dorm room number (195).
