Monster Rant?

I love caffeine, but does anyone really need* 5000 milligrams of pure "energy blend"? This morning after a three-day weekend, Monster Beverage Company sent out its minions to hand out its insanity-filled babies (probably hoping to follow in the success of Red Bull via same/similar grassroots marketing campaign). I obliged, as I usually do for anything free and right in front of me, and have been undergoing an understated increase in heart rate since. Don't be fooled by the highlighted ingredients of B-vitamins and Ginseng--the cross under % Daily Value perfectly connotes its true meaning.

*For caffeine content in coffee, tea, etc. check out: http://www.holymtn.com/tea/caffeine_content.htm or just keep on reading: Caffeine in a 10 oz. coffee normally amounts to 100-300 mg, black tea 50-200 mg, and cola (12 oz.) 100 mg.
If you want some amusing (but not funny haha) copy on caffeine, check out Red Bull's site, which of course brags about caffeine's health benefits and uses the word "foodstuff", which I find funny. Actually, you might not find this funny at all.
