Did you know that there are only two major canning companies in the US and the one that canned your Monster is likely to just be whichever had a facility closer to you? Did you know there are rivalries? Apparently Rexam is considered the cheaper and lower quality one. (And sadly the one nearest me when I learned all of this!)
This tool looks like it could be moderately entertaining for a few minutes, though it seems at the moment it only supports Pepsi products and I don’t have any sodas nearby anyway.
Note: I learned all of the above fun facts from an askreddit comment; not only that, but it was well over a decade ago. At the time I drank a lot of Monster and what the post said seemed to match up with what was on the can from which I was drinking at the time. However, I can’t guarantee it was 100% accurate then and certainly not now, many years later.
