Monster Can Size Table

Practical note: Can dimensions vary by a few millimeters depending on the manufacturer and whether the rim is included. Treat these figures as close approximations.

Monster Can Sizes and Caffeine

Monster’s caffeine content scales with the can size. The original Monster Energy has about 10 mg of caffeine per fluid ounce.

For comparison, a standard 8.4 fl oz Red Bull has about 80 mg, so one 16 oz Monster has roughly twice the caffeine.

How Big Is a Monster Can?

A 16 oz Monster can is a tall, full-width can. Held in your hand, it sticks out above and below your grip, and it is noticeably taller than a regular soda can standing beside it. It is just a little taller than a standard pint glass (6 inches). Because it is the same width as a regular soda can, it fits snugly in standard koozies and car cup holders.

How Tall Is a Monster Can Compared to Everyday Things?

These are common everyday sizes rather than exact measurements, but each is a good reference.

1. About an E-Reader’s Screen Diagonal

A typical e-reader screen measures about 6.8 inches diagonally, a little more than the can’s 6.2-inch height.

2. Just Under a Portable Bluetooth Speaker’s Length

A small portable Bluetooth speaker measures about 7 inches long, just a bit longer than the can.

3. A Bit Taller Than a Pint Glass

A standard pint glass stands about 6 inches tall, just a little shorter than a 16 oz Monster can.

4. About the Height of a Smartphone Plus Half an Inch

Many large smartphones are about 6 to 6.3 inches tall, almost exactly the height of a Monster can.

Monster Can vs Red Bull Can

The standard Monster can holds almost twice as much as a standard Red Bull can. The 16 oz Red Bull is almost the same size as a standard Monster.

Will a Monster Can Fit in a Cup Holder or Koozie?

• Cup holders. Yes. At 2.6 inches wide, a Monster can fits standard car cup holders like a regular soda can.
• Koozies. Standard koozies fit the width, but the extra height means the top of the can sticks out more.
• Mini fridges. 16 oz cans fit most mini fridge shelves, but 24 oz cans may be too tall for door racks.

Common Mistakes People Make About Monster Can Sizes

• Assuming a Monster can is a soda can. It is the same width but holds 4 more ounces and is taller.
• Counting one can as one serving. Nutrition labels on older cans listed 8 fl oz servings, so a 16 oz can was two servings.
• Comparing caffeine by can instead of by size. A 24 oz can has about 50% more caffeine than a 16 oz can.

16 oz Cans vs 12 oz Cans

A 16 oz Monster can uses the same body width as a regular soda can; it is simply taller. That makes it easy to compare:

Because the width is the same, every extra 4 ounces adds roughly 1.4 inches (3.5 cm) of height. Can heights can vary by a few millimetres between can makers.
