The caffeine content of Monster energy drinks is 10 mg/oz (34 mg/dL, 1.75 mmol/L),[2] or 160 mg for a 16 oz can. As with most other energy drinks the packaging usually has a warning printed on it saying to limit the number of cans consumed in a day - to 3 for the 16 oz size, and it is not recommended for pregnant women, children under 11 years old, or people who are sensitive to caffeine.[3]
Ingredients[3]: Carbonated Water, Sucrose, Glucose (broken down sucrose),Taurine, Sodium Citrate, Color Added, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, L-Carnitine, Caffeine, Sorbic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Niacinamide, Sodium Chloride, Glucuronolactone, Inositol, Guarana Seed Extract, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Sucralose, Riboflavin, Maltodextrin, and Cyancobalamin.
Endorsements
Monster Energy has many endorsements with sportspeople. The list includes; Rob Dyrdek, a professional skater, who is often shown drinking Monster and wearing his Monster Energy shirts on his television show. He owns a car known as the Monster Mobile which was purchased for Dyrdek; Rupert Davies, professional snowboarder; Greg Hancock, a former World Speedway Champion; Paul Tracy, a former Champ Car now IRL driver, who sports the Monster logo on his hats and helmet; Jenson Button the Formula One driver and 2009 World Champion, sported the "M" Monster logo on his new crash helmet from the 2009 British Grand Prix onwards; Jamie Whincup, the Australian V8 Supercar Champion, wears Monster colours on his crash helmet; Dean Kearney, the Irish drift driver who competes in the Prodrift series; Ken Block, the American rally driver; Ricky Carmichael wore a Monster Energy helmet when he raced motocross and now that he is into racing cars and trucks, he has his car (or truck) painted black with a large "M" Monster logo on the hood; Robby Gordon is sponsored by Monster on his NASCAR Sprint Cup cars and his Offroad racing trucks.
Monster sponsors a motocross race team named "Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki".[4] Valentino Rossi's race cap bears a Monster logo, as do the Tech 3 Yamaha bikes of Colin Edwards and James Toseland. Prior to this, Monster sponsored Kawasaki. The Vans Warped Tour features a Monster touring bus that gives out free Monster Energy Drinks during the event.
In September 2009, Monster Energy teamed up with Activision to bring special redeemable codes on the Monster Energy website[5] where people can submit code's included in Monster Energy packs to redeem things such as Xbox 360 Premium Themes and a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Map Pack code.[6]
Notable events
In September 2009, Hansen Natural petitioned Rock Art Brewery[7] to cease and desist from using the name Vermonster on one of its beers due to Hansen's alleged similarity to Monster's trademark.[8] Hansen Beverage Co. sought reimbursement for legal expenses and asked Rock Art to abandon a trademark application. Hansen has trademarks for “Monster” and “Monster Energy." [8][9] In October 2009, Monster Energy and other Hansen Natural products were being boycotted by several retailers in support of local Rock Art Brewery.[10]
Since the 1980s, Ben & Jerry's has sold Vermonster sundaes, and multiple companies have beers—many predating Monster Energy's creation—with monster related names,[11] including:
- Monster Ale – Brooklyn Brewery, Brooklyn, New York
- Green Monster – Deschutes Brewery, Bend, Oregon
- Monster Maibock – Red Lodge Ales, Red Lodge, Montana
- Nessie’s Monster Mash – Cairngorm Brewery Company, Aviemore, Scotland
- Sea Monster – Ballast Point Brewery, San Diego, California
