Can someone tell me what they're trying to say with that line? Does someone in the Monster marketing department think the covers of history textbooks are... Exciting?

"This isn't a drink for some woke liberal blue-haired nerd!"

It almost feels like negging. They're somehow trying to appeal to the non-nerd by playing up fake nerd cred? I don't know. It's entirely too confusing.

Well besides not having enough education to know AP and Honors classes are different things; they're trying to raise a patriot boner when some maga walks up to the drink case so they'll buy the can. ~"This drink is so patriotic that you'll be an expert in US history, and (take a shot at europe because magas are anti-europe) this ain't no small European can," referencing the tendency for 330ml (11.1oz) cans in the eu instead of the 12oz (~473ml)

I'm convinced that most marketing copy is ai generated these days.
