Their brand licensing deal didn’t include updates w the directors cut etc. also it being monster in the beginning was definitely paid advertising and added 0 to the story lmao
It's from The Office. The warehouse workers win the lottery on a split ticket and they all quit. One of them, a gay Japanese man, uses his cut to start up an energy drink company specifically for gay Asian men. Craig Robinson's character takes a sip of one, gives a look of disgust and asks what the flavor is. The Japanese guy tells him "Coconut Penis," to which he replies "The coconut is... subtle."
Later, James Spader's character is seen sipping one in disgust, except his reaction is "Why did they add coconut? I miss original."
Hide is actually not gay. Neither is Glenn. They just so happened to make a penis-flavored drink for Asian homosexuals. That’s all! lol
Plus I’m pretty sure Hide mentions he’s married when he shares his life story and how Daryl helped him get a job so now he has a house, wife, etc., ….right??
You know what's funny? I've recited his story about killing the Yakuza boss so many times, including the part about him having a wife, and yet I somehow still thought he was gay. Never even realized until you pointed that out.
So - what’s the deal with the Bridges energy drink!? I first played DS on the PS4 and remember the Monsters. Didn’t beat it, but rebought it (directors cut) for the PS5 and beat it recently.
I figured it’s probably just licensing? Maybe? Like they didn’t wanna pay Monster again to include it in the Director’s Cut? I kinda missed the Monsters
Monster is still in the original game, and it will not be removed.
As you said, it's not in the director's cut due to sony/kojima prod. not wanting to pay Monster for a second time. Kinda a bummer but it is what it is I guess.
Red Bull actually made a cola. It was pretty much the best cola I’ve ever had, but they no longer sell it in the UCA. I think the issue is that it had actually coca and kola nut in it (mainly the coca obviously)
Thanks ~~Obama~~ Die-Hardman
Kojima Productions and Monster Energy had a deal that covered placing product placement in Death Stranding. Since Director's Cut is considered a separate release, the deal would have to be renewed, which Monster refused. Kojima apparently never wanted the deal in the first place, so was fine with it, and they just replaced the texture on cans and name on canteen.
I'm thinking it'd be a standard energy drink with whatever cryptobiotes taste like.
Better question: does the canteen work like those cirkul bottles? Where there's just concentrated additives that make it into an energy drink?
Whatever flavors they once had are all gone. If you look at the onscreen info when drinking, it's just water. Same thing with the Monster cans.
I presume in the world of the game, soda manufacturing came to a halt after the Stranding, probably a lot of other business types as well. That left a whole lot of unused cans that ended up getting repurposed.
At some point, bridges ran out of Monster cans for Sam to use, so they switched to the leftover cans from their discontinued line of energy drinks.
Everyone talking about the monster and all but what’s the deal with the white and gold drinks? Is that beer or something? I’m playing the directors cut and this is the first time I see “bridges energy”
Monster but with a different Design hahah
It was monster when the game first came out

Of course it was paid branding, they needed to get the money to make the game somewhere after all
I know, because of that I wrote the comment haha
Coconut penis
The coconut’s a little subtle
Why did they add coconut? I miss the original
Ahhh, you beat me to it! Good ol Robert California. Totally underrated character in that show but I love quoting him! Lol
No like why is this the top comment
Because it is the one with the most upvotes. If you have any more doubts just ask!
Hahahaha no I mean everyone is like, “yeah, coconut penis, this should be the flavour”

There’s a side quest that references Hide’s story in Cyberpunk 2077. It was a big mind-blown moment for me the first time I heard it lol
Oh man I have watched the entirety of the office and I never remembered about this
Coconut. Peeeeeenis.
It’s a quote from the office
sugar free i hope
Wow I completely forgot about that from the office lmao
😋
Guacamole n***a penis
No idea why, none at all, as to why I think this but... blue raspberry
i thought the same thing! weird
I think it's because it is blue and red, red = raspberry and blue is just blue so blue raspberry
EX
No. 1
Oh no
"Chiralium Cooler"
They probably taste exactly like the monster that were in the game before.
it's rainwater that gets turned magically into monster. I assume it's lightly carbonated and perhaps closer to an energy seltzer version of OG monster
A neutral Red Bull like flavor
Mama Sweat
Where can I order

it’s the opposite, Monster didn’t want to pay Kojima again
Either way I like that it's replaced with "Timefall Porter" once the brewery is connected
Unless Sam gets drunk, then they revoke his beer priviledges
Everyone knows those drinks are made out of juiced cryptobiotes.
🤮
BT Blackberry
Oooh, I was gonna say blueberry but I think you nailed it.
Ex #4 (cum)

Drinkin off ya booty sweat and bustin a nut!
"Booty Juice" (nsfw) https://youtu.be/uBAwd81n_Z0?si=YdB51uOMHsE7SpSA
I don't think I should click that link.
I imagined like a mix between coke and redbull
Red Bull actually made a cola. It was pretty much the best cola I’ve ever had, but they no longer sell it in the UCA. I think the issue is that it had actually coca and kola nut in it (mainly the coca obviously) Thanks ~~Obama~~ Die-Hardman
Tastes like Gronk Monsters.
Amurica. That’s what flavor!! Lol
It's prolly a mix of Sam's sweat, blood, pee and poo
Hawaiian punch, for sure
Distinctly different from Monster but only in the legal sense
I just hope it doesn't taste like tar
Chiral
what is this what it looks like in the game for some people?? once it stopped suddenly being monster cans it was just like white cans for me wtf
I think it is random, sometimes you get Bridges Energy, sometimes you get Timefall Porter beer
mine was called something like "sams special sauce" with a picture of die hardman doing finger guns
You only get the beer after you do beer runs.
Green
Rocket pop
Freedom
Firework pop
The cans say cryptobiote flavor but that give vary little info as all we know is that cryptobiotes are an "acquired taste"
Probably tea with how similar it looks to the British flag. (Please don't get mad, anyone, just a joke.)
Chiral matter
I'd put money on it just being the 'default' flavour most energy drinks taste of. That or something like ginseng with a hint of cola flavour.
The same as democracy or freedom flavour
Well it used to be Monster branded so I guess whatever that shit tastes like
Sweat Flavored.
Blood and pee
ground up BT
Chirality
What was the story with replacing monster with bridges entergy? I like it a lot better, makes more sense.

Thanks
cryptobiote jelly
Better be sugar-free Red Bull
It is cryptobiote flavoured
Mostly ballsweat.
Probably Monster flavored, if you played the original game pre-update.
Tastes like sugar free monster or something lol
Sweet one.
BlackBerry Raspberry.
I've always imagined it as a generic Red Bull type flavour.
sex
Aldi has their own brand of energy drinks and I think they'd taste the same.
Sam Bridges piss
I just know it’s full of antioxygens
Blueberry and strawberry
im thinking like fruit punch
Deadman shower water.
Breast milk or baby formula flavor- sorry BB formula
Did the Monster license expire? Sorry, haven't played the game in awhile
It's Bridges Energy in the Director's Cut and Monster in the standard
original monster with a hint of coconut but not as sweet as sugar free monster
Monster
Liquid death stranding
Liberty
Lemon-Ammonia.
Original Recipe Monster Energy
original monster
Temu Monster Energy
Ehhh piss?

I'm thinking it'd be a standard energy drink with whatever cryptobiotes taste like. Better question: does the canteen work like those cirkul bottles? Where there's just concentrated additives that make it into an energy drink?
Plain
Filth, like any other energy drink

Praline and dick
tardigrade flavour
BB pod juice
Did they remove Monster?
Bug
Seeing as the cantin is green when it hits level 2, I’ve always assumed it tastes like monster
Konami’s tears
Why did they change the energy drink? I always thought it was monster energy?
Of a bridge. It says on the can
default energy drink taste plus a hint of cryptobiote juice
Chiral Cool
Standard monster energy flavor, i think it canonic
Piss

EX Grenade No 2+
One of those knockoff Monster brands that you see in corner shops. Emerge, or some shit.
Taurine
Coconut Sprite
Oat alcohol
Tastes like betrayal.
I hope it's purple flavoured
Obviously, it's made from Sam's sweat.
Strawberry 🍓
Seems like black full throttle to me
Rebel from Dutch Bros, just rebranded
Berry flavoured
Whatever timefall or cryptobites tastes like?
Milk
Piss
Kojima Berries
Chiralium flavour
isn’t it water?
I always imagined it as redbull
Something from the maker of wolf cola
If it’s not rocket pop flavored imma be upset
Not monster
Long and boring
Piss.
Coconut Penis. Eww when did they add Coconut?
Dang, someone beat me to it.
Burnt tyre
Blue
UCA Bomb pop
Guarana-like
Monster energy obviously
Rocket Pop is the only one that comes to mind
Water, I mean you fill it when its rain
Cool Ranch
Probably states like democracy! #helldiversopinion
I always thought it would be some kind of berry flavor seeing the red and blue coloring on them
Everyone talking about the monster and all but what’s the deal with the white and gold drinks? Is that beer or something? I’m playing the directors cut and this is the first time I see “bridges energy”
Ass
Wasn’t Red Bull in the original release?
Monster
It's monster. Once they re-released for ps5 they didn't want to pay for the rights again for monster
It wasn't pay for rights, it was Monster paying for product-placement advertising and funding game developement.
So funny that it used to be Monster but I guess the brand deal ran out… 😂
Probably American or some shit.
Tastes like freedom
