Chow Monster Kills Five?

Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 3:49 PM

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Monday that it has received reports of five deaths and a heart attack since 2009 that may be associated with Monster Energy Drink.

In that same time period, aspirin killed hundreds of times that number, so it isn't news.
