Remember the Monster Energy Lady?

The woman who had a whole spiel about how the beverage was some kind of apocalyptic antichrist vessel?

Welp, there’s a new energy drink conspiracy theory in town. Or, several really. All to do with some mysterious dots.

TikTok user @angelxgaskinzz posted a video holding two cans of Red Bull with the caption “that feeling when the redbull has a blue dot.”

She comes in close to show that the underside of the right can has a tiny blue dot near the expiration date.

While the one on the left has more of a teal dot in the same position.

Those aren’t all the colors, either. Internet denizens have been pointing out a wide variety of dots lately, and speculating about what they mean.

Some even have strong opinions about dot preferences:

Or maybe it’s a gender reveal?

It turns out the real answer has to do with marking which machines the cans were produced on for quality control purposes.

But yanno, that’s boring. So pick your dot and FIGHT!
