Speed drink at Menards

Are they the 12oz or the 16oz cans? I believe Speed is in the process of converting over to strictly 16oz cans (don't hold me to this!) so the 12oz cans are being phased out. In fact, there have been several "panic" threads on here when retailers had pulled off the 12oz cans off the shelves, only to have them replaced with 16oz cans shortly thereafter.

My suspicion (and I could be wrong on this as well) was that a lot of the 12oz cans that were pulled from other retailers made their way into Menards stores to be sold. My Menards here in Milwaukee for a couple weeks had a ton of singles in a cooler up front that looked like they had been to Baja and back in the back of the trophy truck. All dinged up and quite honestly not the best representation of Speed Energy. But... they sold out at the discounted price. In recent weeks, there have been sightings of 16oz cans at my store... albeit in small quantities. They got in Ethanol in 16oz cans a couple times... which I have promptly snatched up!

Anyway... long answer short... my guess is Menards is converting from 12oz to 16 oz. Again, just a guess!

My money is on this as well. While at Menards back home, they had HUGE stacks of the 12 oz product on sale and the 16 ooz products was on another endcap at full price. Simply getting rid of the 12 oz stock is all.

Robby on here, himself, answered several of these concerns.

Just makeing sure because they didnt even have the 16oz. cans anywhere. I also snatched up the last of the 12oz. cans of Fuel & Unleaded. Thank you to all that have responded to my concern. I will keep my eye out for the 16oz. cans

At the Menards in Mankato I too saw the 12oz cans on discount by the front entrance. Was not concerned until I went by where the Speed display endcap usually was and there was no 16oz cans.. thought maybe it'd be by the other drinks but was not there either. Perhaps they are simply turning over product for a future promotion??

Yeah, I've only seen them trying get rid of whats left of the smaller cans. SPEED itself has been unaffected here and I'm 20 mins north of Minneapolis
