What would you do if your drink came with a surprise inside? Imagine this: You grab your favorite canned drink, pop it open, and sip away. Everything seems fine—until you tip it all the way back and hear something rattling at the bottom.
It’s one of the most unsettling feelings. Whatever’s in there has been swimming around, soaking, and marinating in your drink.
While rare, it does happen. People have claimed to find frogs and even rodents in drinks like Pepsi, Arizona Tea, and more.
But one TikTok user says the surprise doesn’t have to be gross.
What Did This Man Find Inside A Monster Energy Drink?
U.K.-based TikTok creator Bradley Higgins (@bradhig) claims that you can actually turn a profit from buying Monster.
“This is why you should always check the bottom of your Monster Energy cans,” the TikTok voice says as he picks up a can from the grocery store. The price tag reads £1.85 (around $2.50).
He takes it home, cracks it open, and pours it out. Then he grabs a pair of scissors and gets to work cutting open the can.
A quick video cut later, he’s slicing the bottom off—and reveals what he says is a folded £5 bill (around $6.70 USD).
Is The Video Real? Probably Not
Higgins has made a name for himself posting off-the-wall food videos.
One shows him using a Milky Way crispy roll as a straw, saying that’s how it was intended to be used. Another features him finding £20 inside a Red Bull can.
His TikTok account bio also sort of confirms this, where he writes, “10% fact 90% fiction.”
But Can Things Actually End Up Inside Cans?
As far-fetched as this video is, as stated above, foreign objects have been found inside drinks before—just not cash.
In fact, food recalls due to contamination have spiked in recent years. According to a third-party analysis of FDA data, U.S. food recalls jumped by 700% between 2021 and 2022. The biggest driver was foreign material contamination.
The USDA, which handles meat, poultry, and egg product regulations, also said that foreign materials like plastic, metal, or even animal parts were the most common reason for product recalls by unit count in 2022.
These types of contamination usually happen during packaging, often due to worn-out machinery or poor maintenance practices.
What Are People Saying?
In the comments, most viewers didn’t buy it—but they still had fun playing along.
One person joked, “Just checked mine, had a Bugatti at the bottom.”
Another pointed out, “The money is not even wet.”
And someone else kept their priorities straight, saying, “I hope he didn’t waste that Monster.”
