anything but the metric system
The first line took a while to read. First try I got what could be written as:
“Sizes of energy drink can pelts, we salute you”
I mean “drink can pelts” is a weird way to say aluminum
“energy-drink-can-sized hail…” is how I would have written it. Or, y’know, used numbers like a sane person.
Well, I mean it’s less weird to write “golf ball-sized hail” bcause it’s a rather common way to describe the size of hail. Energy drink cans are cylindrical, so it doesn’t make immediate sense in anyone’s brain in the sentence as a comparison. I’m guessing the author couldn’t think of a common enough spherical item of the right size to compare with. Still, I think hyphens would have immediately fixed the strangeness, like the person below you commented.
I like the spherical references. I don’t know why he wouldn’t stick with balls.
What energy drink is shaped like that?? Maybe the diameter is similar, but no way it’s the size of a whole can.
They look exactly golfball-sized, wtf. This is the default measurement unit for hail!
Those are some big golf balls you play with. Maybe racquetballs?
Funny, I’ve never seen an energy drink come in a can that small.
