Not too long ago, I did a fun review contest of some energy drinks, or at least those which did not use High Fructose Corn Syrup as their main form of concentrated energy. I tend to like or grew accustomed to the flavoring selection of the Monster brand energy drinks. Soon I was drinking them every day. A 24 pack from Costco, set me back $28 and I was happy as a clam. I use energy drinks as the pick me up as I don't drink coffee.
So, everything was going fine at work. I bought a 4 pack of regular Monster drinks and then was enjoying one of them one morning at work. As I was finishing a can around 10am, I felt something solid hot my lips. I went from okay, normal dull day at work, to "oh my god what was that?" I took the can and what drink was left inside to our kitchen at work and poured it into a glass and noticed a brown circular object at the bottom of my glass. I was shocked as it was brown, wrinkly and looked like something that I did NOT want in my drink or near me at all. I poured it into the sink and with a carefully placed butter knife, I sliced the object in two to discover that it was nothing more than a raisin.
I was curious and sent an email to Monster asking if raisins are used in the manufacturing process at all. Now, I wasn't trying to find the secret recipe but try to figure out if raisins went in Monster somewhere or if it was because some random worker on the line dropped it into a can. After some back and forth emails, Monster sent me some coupons for some free Monster drinks.
Now, I'm not going to get any more Monster drinks, so why did they bother to send me these? I compare this whole experience to one that you are enjoying a box of cracker-like snacks only to discover that they are made of dead people: and called Soylent Green. You are disgusted and you don't want any more of those things and want to keep them away from you as far as you can. Then you know what happens? The manufacturer gives you a free box of Soylent Green. You know that it is made from people, and you expressed your dislike for wanting to consume any more, so why do they give you some more? Some people would take it, I would not. Thanks Monster, but I take back all of the nice things I have said about you or your drinks.

ReplyDeletesorry I gave them away. I know that Monster has produced many, many new flavors and styles, but I refuse to buy anything from that brand.
