      Those are some big golf balls you play with. Maybe racquetballs?

    I’m ngl, this was so hard to read. Why does english have 2 meanings for can?

      Three. Depending on where you are in the U.S., a toilet is also a “can”. It’s more of a slang meaning, but if you ever hear an American saying they’re “going to go hit the can,” it means they’re going to use the bathroom.

        I’ll tell you a secret. I’ve never had an energy drink in my life so I don’t even know it’s size.

    It’s a good thing they included the coin for scale otherwise we might have just assumed this person had Trump sized hands (another completely valid and totally real unit of measure, the greatest unit of all time actually)

      We may be the minority, but many of us Americans prefer the metric system.

      Ease of conversion and relationship with calories aside, have you ever tried measuring small SI machine screws? Calipers run decimal, not fractions. You can’t compare them without math or memorization. It’s a pain in the ass.

    What energy drink is shaped like that?? Maybe the diameter is similar, but no way it’s the size of a whole can.

      Those small cans you get on the plane? But why the ‘energy’? Probably to shitpost IMO.

        I like these, but places near me don’t seem to sell them. Well, my local gas station used to, but they were always hidden in the back and expired which is gross as fuck.

      Maybe those five hour energy and similar shots? That’s all I can come up with though.

        “Size of a nice rice ball” would have been more appropriate. Maybe if you tried flattening a 5 hour?

          Texans do not know what a riceball is.

          The American localization of Pokemon in the 1990s calling onigiri (triangular riceballs) doughnuts has become one of the most infamous in-jokes in Anime.
