![]() ![]() Here’s a great example that comes from one of my Bible classes I took at SAGU (Southwestern Assemblies of God University). Things in different cultures mean different things to others. ![]() ![]() When studying something you must remember the culture. She attempts to make a connection to the phrase “release the beast.” However, if she’s a minister, she’s forgotten the first rule of exegesis…. It really isn’t… it looks more like the Greek “phi.” Which is sometimes used as a symbol of manhood, bringing more suggestion that this will drink is tough and not meant for the faint of heart. Weick continues to claim that the O with a strike through is a cross. Again this is where a design artist is trying to stylize an M to make it look like a claw mark. However, if we look at real claw marks in the wild, they are not connected. In her explanation of the “M,” she points out that the claw marks are not connected and that’s why she believes it to be Hebrew. In a very arrogant way (you can tell she’s had people explain to her that she is mistaken and she resents the claim) explaining some other things. Recently a video has been circulating with a woman named Christine Weick, attempting to explain the conspiracy. So nothing demonic with their logo… it was just what people liked. Plus it went over best with focus groups. ![]() In the end, the design firm and Hansen went with the “M” because it’s simplicity and bold look. Then finally the icon green slashes that make a stylized “M.” They also had a couple of cans with a silhouetted monster that kind of looks like Batman. Another was black with same creature just placed differently. One was black with a lizard looking creature on it. In the beginning, they had several different types of cans. They actually started out with several ideas such as “Hammerhead,” ‘Fatboy,” and “Wild Hare.” After some market research, they narrowed it down to “Fatboy,” ( because the cans were bigger) “Deuce” (because it was twice the amount of substance), and then “Monster.” They chose monster because Monster represented the fact that it was a bigger can (A Monster Can), it gave “maniacal energy,” and “monster” had a sense of being different or a bit of a renegade which was their target audience. It was Mclean Designs that came up with the monster concept. Now that stage 1 was completed how do they overcome their marketing issues? To solve this problem, they contacted Mclean Design. The idea was to sell their product in cans twice the size of Red Bull’s 8oz cans, but for the same cost. The second problem being that they needed a gimmick to corner the market. They had two problems their name was strongly associated with health products that young people (main consumers of energy drinks) would want nothing to do with. They saw the success of Red bull and wanted to get into the energy drink game. Monster energy drinks were created by Hansen Beverage Co back in 2000. So where did the logo come from if it’s not some evil satanic message designed to pollute and subvert society…. Which in Hebrew would be (if… and big if here… I understand this right) Tav Resh Samech Vav which looks very much not like the monster logo. Then getting into even more semantics, the Greek used in Revelation is hexakósioi hexēkonta héx which is Six hundred and sixty-six. Plus traditional numerology is not about replacement but addition so 666 would be 18. If anything I think “nun” looks closer (there are two versions of “nun”… not sure what the difference is in their meaning). I really don’t think it looks exactly like it. But are these claims accurate?ĭealing with the specific claw marks looking like vav…. These posts are generally followed up with a fear statement calling for an end the company and triumphant cry of defiance towards the devil’s trickery. So recently there has been several videos and posts popping up on Facebook where people are claiming that the claw marks on the Monster energy drink cans stand for 666. Below is a repost (edited slightly) of my findings that I posted on a personal website many years ago. In response, I did my due diligence to research into the claims. At the time of its release, I was in charge of running the coffee shop at my church where we had Monster energy drinks. She laid a variety of “proofs” in the video the caused some to question things. Back in 2014, a woman named Christine Weick was filmed attempting to convince people that Monster Energy Drinks had ties to the occult and particularly Satanism itself. ![]()
