Might be too late to ask, but what does this number mean?

The drink or this community?

The drink is called -196 because they flash freeze the fruit used to flavour it using liquid nitrogen and liquid nitrogen evaporates at -196°C.

This community is called 196 because it's named after the original r/196 subreddit, which was created after the r/195 shit posting subreddit shut down, which was named after the subreddit owners old college dorm room number (195).

3.99 is the price of the drink, and assuming this is the USA, you’ll need to provide three $1 bills, three quarters, two dimes, and four pennies to buy it. (Or four $1 bills, and receive a penny in change.)

I dont‘ think thats in US dollars, as there is no dot between the 3 and the 99 and there are some asian letters beneath it.

It‘s more likely Yen or something similiar where 399 japanese yen are 2 Dollar and 53 cents.

All the mandatory labeling on the cans is in English, and based on the conversions the volumes are in US Fluid Ounces. My money is on the US, and an unmaintained labeller
