No Coke Monster

After decreasing soda sales due to heightened awareness surrounding the health effects of sugary soft drinks, Coca-Cola decided to cash in on the energy drink trend by purchasing a stake in Monster Energy.

Researchers have shown that energy drinks can lead to adverse health events such as arrhythmias and seizures. Monster has been criticized for marketing to adolescents and refused to comply with certain marketing standards recommended by a U.S. Senate committee.

Help us demand that Coca-Cola drops its deal with Monster Energy!
