WD-40 comes in gallons, so why not Monster? ๐Ÿค”

In all seriousness, the "maximum daily dose" of monster is already a partial can. If anything, they should be smaller. But, a gallon jug with an appropriate sized cup included is also a viable solution, assuming it can stand up to repeated exposure to air without losing any of the properties that make it desireable to drink for some people. And do so for as long as it would take to drink it safely. If there was no safe way to reasonably drink it, they would have a hard time justifying the size to the fda, and an even harder time justifying it to all the other way better food agencies around the world.

The 24oz cans of Monster, Rockstar and NOS have 240mg caffeine. So just about half the maximum daily recommended in the largest can they sell (the maximum is 400mg).

Source: It's printed on the can and I'm drinking one.

Gonna guess those are states numbers. 100mg is the recommended daily dose other places. You guys have alot of lobbying to allow much higher numbers. Looks like even in the states it's still 100mg for teens though. Here they are literally labeled as a can being 2 servings. And that's the 16oz, which is what is called the big can here, we don't have a 24oz.

100 mg of caffeine is like 8 oz of coffee. Most people I know have 2-4 times that a day.
