Energy drinks for the white monsters? Is that the Maoist Standard term?
In any case, 魔爪能量饮料.
Maoist standard Chinese
Zero Ultra nocal Monster Energy flavor. Don't ask me or my desk how we know.
White was lowcal and blue nocal last I checked but I'm clean now
you're right its 10cal. No wonder I've been blowing up
I am curious whether 怪兽能量饮料 is at all acceptable since it is used in a link in Chinese Wikipedia which apparently translates the company name as 怪物饮料: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%80%AA%E7%8D%B8%E8%83%BD%E9%87%8F%E9%A3%B2%E6%96%99
I would guess the Maoist "standard" term would be *鬼佬能量饮料, but the actual forms are 鬼佬汽水 (attested on Douyin, Chinese Tiktok) = gweilo soft drink and 鬼爪饮料 (attested on Zhihu, kind of like Chinese Reddit) = devil/ghost (shortened from gweilo?) 爪 (looks like Monster logo) soft drink.
Under the controversy section it calls Monster energy "Filth"
(according to firefox's translate)
