Monster Original & Special

Monster Original & Special: the green claw and everything around it

This is the core of the brand. The original Monster Energy with the green claw, Zero Sugar and Absolutely Zero for anyone skipping the sugar, and Lo Carb from the United States. Alongside them sit the cans that stand out by format: the 553 ml Mega with its resealable cap, the small 150 ml M3 that compresses the same energy into a few sips, and the glass bottle you mostly run into in Japan.

The special editions belong here too. Lando Norris and its golden Zero Sugar version, Valentino Rossi's The Doctor, Full Throttle, Dragon Ice Tea from Brazil, and the Import cans Monster makes for the American market in a European style.

Every can lists its country of origin and size, because the same flavour looks different in the Netherlands than it does in Spain, Japan or South Korea. Sold singly or by the tray, shipped across Europe or collected at the Cartesiusweg in Utrecht.
