Watch the TikTok video

Transcript

Millions of views and no understanding of basic chemistry, or cooking. showed how to make toffee. Monster Energy has a lot of sugar, which sure isn't all that healthy, but when you take it and you boil away all the liquid content, what you're left with is mostly sugar, which when you then heat it a little bit more, first turns brown, which is the nice toffee caramelized flavor, and then it turns black into a nice little sludge that as soon as it cools really hardens. So there's no weird, toxic, alien-based goo there. It's just a drink things away. You might as well expose it by just looking at the nutrition facts.
