God, I pray to you.
Please, do not let Slusho play any major role in the plot or in the movie.

I mean that would completly wreck the movie. You have all this intense action and it turns out it's caused by a soft drink? Lame.

Why would that be lame? The ol' "giant monster has a personal grudge with a particular city for no good reason" is lamer. The fact that drilling and collecting what must be a food source, eggs, or whatever for a creature that heads to the largest nearby concentration of this stuff at least makes some attempt to make some plot other than the standard junk we see.

Seabed's nectar imo reacts to the creature being nearby. It can't be all that complicated.. it's a giant critter. So the stuff is either a food source, or eggs, or some other simple thing imo.

Ok bear with me here. 2am and Turkey day is tomorrow lol.

What if the Slusho! Drink is nothing until the Monster activates the properties in the drink, such as a Sound Resonance, activating the molecular properties in the Slusho! causing the people to turn. Sorda like when it roars, triggles the change in the Slusho! Sorda like a Dormant type of thing.

lol I love my crack pot hypothesis's

So you're saying it'd be cool if they made a movie in which, a competitor for fucking Pepsi makes a drink that makes you explode would be cool?

Yeah, it'd be awesome to watch. On fucking Nickelodeon.

Or it could be that Japan has some sort of self-control when it comes to eating. America would take the "You can't drink just six!" as a challenge, chugging 10-14 at a time. Hell, the fatasses that go to mcdonald's every night for dinner would try to go to triple-digits with these drinks.
Perhaps JJ is poking at the epidemic of obesity in America as much as he is terrorism/politics. Shocked

as discussed previously, by me, and unnoticed. I mentioned a while back, maybe the Japanese population have a differnet digestive system due to the difference in comumables over there, sushi and so on. The US population might react differently when drinking slusho (not to the extent of blowing up), but it may react with something inside or something causing something or other.

not a good theory but its worth a try.

Or maybe the Japanese government covered up some of the population popping due to drinking more then six slushos??? or Tagruato themselves having enough money to clean up after themselves.

What if the little monster babies hatched from the deep sea nectar in people's stomach and went into a state of hibernation, only to be woken by the call of their parent?

Yep. The secret ingredient is tiny monster frog spawn.

And they wouldn't have to have accelerated growth, they'd just have to thrash around a bit. A bit like a baby kicking, but with claws and teeth. And when a baby kicks, it generally doesn't make their mother explode. And if the thrashing caused internal bleeding, wouldn't that explain the picture of Marlena with the blood all over her? It all makes perfect sense...

In the beginning of the trailer, it mentions incident site U.S. 447. So this might mean that multiple cases of these monsters popping up have occurred, why else would the whole thing need such a specific designation?

So maybe all of the slusho people across the world are popping out little slusho babies. That could be the reason this one needs to be so specific. Maybe each drill site unleashes one of these monsters?
