All tag results for 'monster'

What's the point of this thing??

Really! Other than a shock and a gimmick, are there people who order this just because they're hungry and nothing else will satisfy them? Do they even sell enough of them to warrant a spot on the menu??

This was gonna happen sooner or later!

Chicago's City Councilman Ed Burke is concerned with the health risks energy drinks pose to people, so in hopes to save his community, he proposed a ban on the sale of the overly caffeinated drinks, which include 5-hour Energy, Monster, Red Bull and others.

Burke's projected law reads:

So, how many stories like these need to come forward before we start choosing who should be coaching our kids??

That's something we should be doing, regardless!

Add this to the reasons why: Seven former students of famed gymnastics coach Doug Boger have come forward with claims of sexual and physical abuse.

The victims were all shocked to see that

After experiencing mild kidney failure, Nick Cannon is out of the hospital and back home with Mariah and their kids.

He's still recovering however and, unfortunately, couldn't attend CES 2012 in Las Vegas this week to promote his new N-Ergy in-ear and N-Tune on-ear headphones that are available through audio company Monster.

While he couldn't physically step foot in the Venetian hotel and casino to attend the consumer electronics tradeshow, he was still able to make an appearance. The America's Got Talent host Skyped the event and appeared on a large monitor, saying:

"I wish I could be there with you. They are rebooting my immune system. It's my first day out of the hospital."

What better way to promote innovative technology than using innovative technology? Ha!

Get well soon, Nick!

Kids already have ENOUGH energy, why would they need an energy drink?!

The American Academy of Pediatrics has written in the June issue of Pediatrics that kids SHOULD NOT be sucking down energy drinks.

Obvious reasons include too much caffeine (more than 100 milligrams per drink sometimes), which is not only addictive, but can increase heart rate, blood pressure, speech, anxiety levels and lead to insomnia.

Dr. Cynthia Pegler, an adolescent medical specialist in New York City, said:

"Too much caffeine is not good for anybody and can lead to sleep problems, and if a child is also on a stimulant medicine to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, you are now getting an extra whammy. This is not a good combination."

Makes sense to us! She recommends getting your kid hooked on water at an early age instead of relying on sugary sports drinks like Gatorade too, explaining:

"For most kids who do sports, water was the drink to encourage instead of all these other sugary drinks."

Beyond energy drinks, the Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend sports drinks either. Although they are not overloaded with caffeine, they contain unnecessary sugars, which lead to obesity and cavities. The report explained:

"Most sports drinks have calories and sugar which can lead to weight gain and dental erosion. They have a limited use for specific kids and teen athletes involved in prolonged vigorous sports or other activities."

We don't recall needing an energy drink to get us through the day as kids, so we don't see why any kids would need them now.

Are your kids too tired to get through the school day? Doctors suggest that consuming energy drinks is merely "a band-aid for an underlying problem that needs evaluation."

Totally agree! We'll leave parenting up to parents, but the danger of children unnecessarily consuming energy drinks is definitely something EVERY person raising a child should be aware of.

Earlier this month, we were excited when we learned that Rihanna would be performing during the NBA All-Star Game halftime show.

Now, it looks like she'll have some company, because Kanye West is reportedly scheduled for a "surprise performance during the show."

Guess it's not so much of a surprise anymore…

A source says that Yeezy will perform All of the Lights at the game.

Sounds like one hell of a halftime show! All they need to do is get Nicki Minaj on board to perform Monster with Kanye, and we'd be all set!
