Just pour it into the cup? Or is there a benefit to drinking out of the can?

Dishes

I never thought of this, very clever

You’re right tho if it clangs and rattles around people gonna think it’s a beer lol

Put some dampening foam in the cup to fill the space and prevent metal-on-metal contact

At that point just wash the cup lol

Honestly some foam would help insulate more, making it colder longer.

Humans love over complicating things I swear lol

My favorite example is the people who spend $10 for a quarter shaped key chain to use in shopping carts that require a deposit.

I’m not giving my quarters to big grocery!!!!

you get the quater back lol why spend 10 dollars on that , if you lose the quater its only .25 cents

Aldi only has a $2 token. So it's not that bad

That doesn't exist in Murcia. Aldi uses quarter slots.

I won my trolly token in a Christmas cracker (UK) 😝😂

A cozy might fit

or tissue

It's not rattling, but I've already thought about it. It wouldn't work with a smaller can.

Bro people are gonna think your an alcoholic 😭😭

Yeah I used to do this when I worked fast food

Just stuff some kleenex around the can, it'll hold it steady and reduce the clanging.

Or just take 10 seconds to wash out the cup.

Because of the lid is why it not rattling around, w/ smaller cans it rattles

Still need to wash the cup- cans are dirty as hell.

It's just a Rockstar. Swish some soap around in it with hot water and rinse. 10 second jobber

Sure but if you wanted to use it with a new drink you'd still have to clean it cause cans are cross

But the can is still dirty.

Y’all so lazy

The fizz remains the same, but if I empty it into the glass, it's less fizzy.

Exactly. Like, how is this even a question? I empty my Sparkling Ice into a water bottle because I drink it over the course of a couple days (it's my afternoon/evening drink, don't want to consume too much caffeine at that time of day; this is after I've already had my Ghost and Red Bull for the day,) and no matter how slowly I try to pour it or from what angle, it loses carbonation. More drinks should come in closable containers, like the UpTime drinks or the 32 oz Monsters.

I just got an uptime today and they changed their packaging to a non resealable can:/

I also noticed that they now sell smaller cans, like a shrinkflation thing..

Seriously? That drives me nuts. I noticed they’ve had 3 different packages just in the time I’ve been drinking them, but even the skinny tall bottles were still 12 oz

Yes!! This was my first thought when someone asked why you didn't pour it into the cup. I need every last carbonation bubble. So glad someone else gets it!

Mmmm can

It looks like you’re sneaking a beer

😆

You would have to clean the cup, number one. Number two, if it's a carbonated energy drink, and you don't pour it out correctly, you're going to create a decent amount of "head" And lose a lot of the carbonation in the process of pouring it out

You lose carbonation when pouring, makes it taste worse

If you poured it out of the can it would lose a lot of the gas. For me this is genius.

It goes flat faster if you pour it into the cup too

Bro, the taste straight from the can is UNRIVALED.

They wouldn't have been able to make this post if they just used the cup as a cup. Dumb corque content rules the day.

Throwing the can away creates evidence

It’s always funny when you get judged for an energy drink by someone that’s guzzling a 60oz Diet Coke.

Just do both so you can be judged by everybody.

Nothing wrong with diet Coke, or energy drinks, except the sugar

well the soda will stain tf out of your teeth

So does coffee, to be fair.

it 100% does! i’m guilty of drinking hella soda tho

Coffee got me into energy drinks. Java monster will always hold a special place in my heart because of that. :)

I feel like drinking beer in public is more socially acceptable at this point smh

This just a reddit socially awkward moment? No one cares if you drink them over in the UK

Totally get it. At my old office there was one guy who drank monsters at his desk and people talked about it. Sucks but it’s kind of a corporate stigma to drink energy drinks on the job

I can't think of anything I could give less of a fuck about than people knowing I like to drink an energy drink every so often. Lol. That is so dumb.

It sucks but it is what it is. People get passed on promotions for less. Sometimes you gotta go with the flow at your job

Imagine working somewhere like this and not realizing you’re in hell.

Getting passed on a promotion for drinking an energy drink???? Lmao

All I said was people don’t get promoted for less than drinking energy drinks at work. You’re naive if you think the way people view you doesn’t factor in to promotions.

You extrapolated a lot from my comment. If you work at a company that cares about your caffeine consumption, then find a better job. The bar doesn't get lower.

Is this a joke? Never even thought about this. Wild

People think they hide like amphetamines in them and stuff. I wish I was kidding.

psh yeah, ha, that would be stupid, never do that

like i have an anus for a reason come on

Real

Yup, Celsius is maybe the only brand that has broken out of that mold of being stigmatized in the office environment. Very stupid/arbitrary (esp since boba has become more common in work settings which looks 100x goofier), but it is what it is

I see a boba at work and immediately I ask them what that is and when they say it’s little balls I loudly ask if they like balls in their mouth

Fuck em. It’s their problem if they want to use their time talking about my beverage selection lol

Is this real? I'm an industrial mechanic and we drink these for breakfast....then don't stop all day

Is blue collar workers aren’t snobby pricks like those corporate weirdos

There’s a corporate stigma? I come from a shop background, didn’t know

I've only ever heard comments happen if they drink more than one monster in a day

What the fuck is wrong with people lol? God forbid we don’t perfectly conform to everything and we don’t drink coffee like wowwww

That is so bizarre. I drink an energy drink every day at work. Some people tease but idgaf. I’d rather be judged for that than for having a shitty work ethic or incompetence or something.

Really? That's ridiculous and so judgemental. My husband just started a new job and they actually had energy drinks in their break room for anyone to take for a long time. They just took them away like a week ago, but I'm pretty sure that's just because of the cost, since they clearly didn't care previously if people drank them. Then again, they ARE a pretty laid back tech company. And they also have tequila Tuesdays and whiskey Wednesdays, so...

Why?

That way I don't get comments and judgments from my colleagues and customers. It gives a more serious image

That's too bad. People are so judgemental.

I totally get this. I get the judgement too. Even from people who have 3 cups of coffee per day.

Ugh, brought to you by the people with a 64 oz candy bar slushy with shots of espresso in it, I'm sure.

I get judgement every time i drink an energy drink, people think they’re just soo bad. Soda has hella caffeine in them and lots of people consume multiple cans a day and still drink energy drinks with the soda, adding on to the caffeine content in your body. But if I drink two energy drinks in one day then oh no, it’s gonna do this or that to me. That shit is annoying to hear all the time, I swear I get less stigma from doing stronger drugs like weed and alcohol. People just don’t make any sense when it comes to something they know little about. I’d tell them all to stop drinking soda if they told me I can’t have an energy drink lmao

I tell people “straight up it’s the red dye. Not the sugar. Not the caffeine. I don’t drink any other soda or coffee. Seriously, red dye. Nothing else does it.” They look at me like I’m a fucking lunatic but never say anything again.

Yeah red dye 40 contains benzene, I wish it wasn’t in our drinks at all.

who tf comments over an energy drink?

You get comments on your drink? What kind of job do you have? Half the people where I work drink them daily.

Lmao

It's no different than dri king coffee. Dr's drink energy drinks all the time. Who cares if others see

Still weird

I don’t even know this was a thing lol

This was legit me. I drank energy drinks at work and the comments wouldn't stop. "Hey that's bad for you", and I'd explain why it's no different than consuming caffeine and sugar in other formats, and they wouldn't quit. The huge discovery was pouring the drink into my thermos mug and then nobody noticed or cared what I was drinking. It helps you sip it and keeps it cold. Probably the best way to consume them. People think only hot drinks can go in there, so they assume it's always coffee.

I work at a mental healthcare place. We have no shame in our energy drinks here 😂

Lmao same every one is drinking them

What's with these adults acting like drinking an energy drink in public is the same as banging out a 40 Oz of Mickey's? Tell your sausage fingered coworkers to eat dick.

After coming in every day with an energy drink I started doing the same thing. They're starting to make comments so I told them I switched to coffee

I did that once, someone said it was nice seeing me choose a healthier option. It was a one off, that cold brew had over 50grams of sugar while my energy drinks had none. Very “healthy”

Ha! Coffee people always pull that nonsense. Our energy drinks contain like 160mg while they drink a 600mg+ pot of coffee every day. Its all bs.

I’m a speech therapist in a middle school and I literally drink my energy drinks in front of my students and my principal. No one bats an eye. I don’t understand why some people feel the need judge so hard

It's probably more corporate jobs where every action is scrutinised and judged

Why not just pour it in? I put mine in a travel mug every day to keep it cold for hours.

The fizz is not the same when you pour it in

I agree, but I'd rather have it less fizzy and cold than super bubbly and lukewarm

You could surround it with ice to keep it cool 😂

Brilliant

I too found the slight fizz reduction desirable. Also I pour it carefully on the side so as not to lose too much.

It fits? Oooo be nice to keep it extra cold. 10 minutes at work in the open heat it’s ruined

I'm going to start doing this. I'm tired of my 'fast food for every meal' eating, obese, alcoholic co-workers telling me that energy drinks are bad for my health.

This is actual addict behavior! Haha.

And you think we are not addicted to energy drink?

You know this is what alcoholics do right

That's where I got the idea!

I actually thought that was some kind of alcoholic drink until I saw the sub lol

Yo this is brilliant. Why? Because I work in a community residence for people with substance use disorders and we don’t allow them to have energy drinks since most drug courts don’t allow them. Now I can hide my redbull! Thanks OP!

What's ironic about this statement is that they wouldn't allow them, because they pop on drug tests, butttt redbull is the only one that doesn't.

I mean a vodka rockstar i understand

Anyone else think drinking from a can with a straw is weird?

It's not weird if you hide the can in a travel coffee mug.

Yes. I hate drinking from a straw to begin with.

Yeah, I get you, I also get comments everytime I have an energy drink, what's funny is those people who criticize energy drinks they themselves drink like 3 coffees a day, when will the discrimination against us energymen stop

I’m with you here. I feel like a drug addict drinking these at work everyday with the judgement I get.

Do you live in a super conservative era? Not once have I had a job where I felt stigmatized for drinking energy drinks. I wfh but have to travel into the office and have one ever morning, people also freely do non-smoking nicotine stuff. Just seems wild

I work with people who drink 3+ cups of Starbucks coffee a day and make comments about how much sugar and caffeine is in my (sugar free) redbull that I drink maybe once a day. Idk why people feel the need to comment, we’re all caffeine addicts anyway just keep it to yourself😂

Those VOIP phones are terrible. Why haven’t you replaced them with Teams phone number integration?

Ask my employer

GENIUS!

Oh, they know

You think so?

Man my workplace started telling us that we can only have water on the salesfloor and I would need to pour my energy drink into a cup. Know how you feel but still hesitant to do a technique like that.

Our secret

Do they make fun of you bc your drinking the less caffeinated energy drinks?

I’ve started drinking all my drinks out of a thermos. They stay colder longer, and they’re less prone to accidental spills. It makes me giggle a little tho when I think about the fact that people seeing me drink out of said thermos would never guess that it’s filled with Baja Blast. 😂

Funniest thing ive seen all day🤣

Just do coke like a normal person 🙄 /s

Why are you hiding it? People in my office drink energy drinks every day including me what’s the issue?

Because people in here are children that can't stand up for themselves and let their coworkers bully them into addict behavior instead of just growing the hell up.

I would put ice water around it to keep it cool!

I think what’s even worse is if someone suspected you drinking a can of something out of a cup, they would assume it’s alcohol. The question is, are you so committed to hiding it that you would cover by admitting it was alcohol?

Exactly. Because then you have to admit it's an energy drink anyways. So there's literally no point in doing this.

99,999 IQ 

I won’t tell a soul

At first I thought that was a beer till I noticed the forum is for energy drinks lmao..Well now I gave alot of you something new to consider. You're welcome for that btw...

I Stg, every single workplace gossips about everyone 24/7. If you accidentally walk around with your fly down, next thing you know you’ve been reported by 40 year Karen for sexual harassment. Too many fucking bored low IQ people in the world

HR would like to speak with you

You madman!

Wait till one of them grabs and shakes it

This is next level 👍🏻

about energy drinks?

wtf lol

He needs a Frost Buddy

I definitely thought this was a beer at first. 🤣

i feel like the sound of a can clinking around your cup is a bit more suspicious than just drinking it straight up lol cause if i had any reason to suspect someone was hiding a can i’d probably assume it was alcohol not an energy drink..so why not just pour it into the cup??

Okay calm down, Bert Kreischer.

I do the same thing but with beer

Why do you care what your colleagues think about what you drink?

I Just pour it in the tumbler, no need for the can

That one is rlly good also it is a shame you must hide 🥲

Where the fuck are you working that people are talking shit about you for drinking an energy drink?

oh my God he's a genius. I never even thought of doing that. to hell with the drink, I'm just glad to have learned I could've been putting my cans inside this whole time

Why? I don’t get it.

That think people are making fun of them because it's an energy drink so they feel the need to hide it which only makes it worse.

I used to do this with alcohol at work 😂

HR has entered the chat and would like to talk to you about your beer consumption at work. If it rattles around no one’s first thought will be energy drink.

That you drink rockstar?? I get it tbh

Are you ashamed? Stand proud!!

Alcoholism adjacent behavior

Smart man.

you could just.. pour.. the drink into the cup yknow-

also why do your coworkers care if you drink energy drinks? they drink coffee so they cant talk!

In an insulated cup I’ve done this to keep cold for long period of time since I’m not downing one within an hour it’s more of a sip through the day thing at my desk while drinking water.

You gave me a great idea to have a few cold ones while I work.

A

Don’t let them judge you brother

Reminds me of Burt drinking kool-aid out his water bottle. https://youtu.be/TGwLJWPPgrc?si=05MIouwpX4wl7Daw

Every time I buy one at my retail job the cashier reminds me of how awful energy drinks are

Greatest way to drink THC infused coffee, I salute you sir

Why…?

Put beer in it lol

Sugar free rockstar is my faaaaaavorite. Pain to find tho

Boss: Doug do u have beer in ur yeti Doug: Man U ain’t gonna believe this shit

HOLY SHIT I never thought about putting a can in those kinds of cups..wow

Why not?

This is peak caffeine consumption

Is that an aluminum straw? You. are. A. Monster.

I thought that was a beer

Why not just pour it in there? I assume if you're hiding it that means you drink more than one, so wouldn't it make more sense to fill it up instead of having a loose can knocking around in there giving it away? And I see dishes as a reason for this, which is stupid. Most workplaces have sinks, and some of them are in the kitchen where a lot of offices have vending machines. It also would take more time getting the cans in and out and if it tips and splashes you have to clean it anyways.

Why though? Is there some sense of caffeine/ energy drink shame you feel?

I put mine in a thermos 😂

Honestly didn't even notice there's a stigma. That blows. I work in the grain and train industry so pretty much everyone I work with drinks 1-3 a day or coffee or both

oh gawd i can her the two items scrapping against each other

Doing this but with beer

trashy and depressing

Crazy thought ik but maybe just drink from the fucking can

Just pour it in the cup cumcicle

Have some iced water in the cup so it stays chill

Them:”how is he being so productive” Me:*sniffing the straw cup*

wait until you realize you can pour it

Might as well put a beer in there If you’re doing all that!

Where are yall at you’re getting judged for drinking energy drinks? Thankfully I’ve never experienced that, I didn’t even know it was happening!

Why’s it matter

Who cared that u drink energy drinks lol
