What would you do if your drink came with a Surprise inside ? Imagine this: you grab your favorite canned drink, open it, and grab it. Everything seems fine—until you turn the corner and hear something rattling in the background.
It’s one of the most unsettling feelings. Whatever’s in there is swimming around, soaking in, and marinating in your drink .
While rare, it does happen. People have reported finding 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?
UK-based Tiktok creator Bradley Higgins (@Bradhig) claims you can actually make a profit from buying monsters.
“This is why you should always check the bottom of Monster Energy cans,” says the Tiktok voice as he picks up a can at the supermarket. The price reads £1.85 (about $2.50).
He takes it home, opens it, and pours it out. Then he grabs a pair of scissors and gets to work opening the can.
A quick video later, he’s cutting away the bottom – and reveals what he says is a £5 note (about $6.70).
Is the video real? Probably not
Higgins made a name for himself by 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 shows him finding £20 inside a can of Red Bull.
His Tiktok account Bio also confirms this, where he writes: “10% fact 90% fiction.”
But can things really end up in cans?
As much as this is, like this video, as stated above, foreign objects have been found inside drinks before—just not money.
In fact, food recalls due to contamination have increased in recent years. According to a third-party analysis of FDA data, U.S. food recalls jumped 700% between 2021 and 2022. The biggest factor was contamination from foreign materials.
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 often occur during packaging, often due to worn machinery or poor maintenance practices.
What are people saying?
In the comments, most viewers didn’t buy it – but they still had fun joking around.
One person joked: “I just checked mine, it had a Bugatti on the bottom.”
Another pointed out: “The money isn’t even wet.”
And someone kept their priorities straight, saying, “I hope he didn’t waste that monster.”
