    Ha, weird niches can be fun.

    My Monster of choice is the Zero Ultra. I used to get the Vanilla Light in the mornings on occasion, but I can't seem to find them anywhere anymore.... Maybe I need to contract a Monster Hunter to find a source for me.

    This reminds me of Seattle’s mystery vending machine. It reportedly spat out a random assortment of very rare, sometimes discountinued-decades-ago sodas. It became a minor tourist attraction and a beloved enigma, since no one was sure who or how or why it operated. Apparently as of 2018 it was broken and then later removed due to operating without a sidewalk license, but the myth of the haunted soda vending machine lives on.

    This made me really happy! I never knew there were so many flavors of Monster. I always thought people's obsession with Monster seemed pretty "white trash," but I think this article proved me wrong. Even though it's something I don't think I would ever be interested in, I'm glad that the collectors (and their followers) have found a hobby they enjoy.
