ya man, that is crazy. Its been on the news a few times, people talking about how energy drink mess up the kids.

I went to my brothers middle school last spring for their annual spring concert. I saw at least 2 Monster Energy vending machines...NOT only that, they were sold out of the energy drinks.

I remember growing up and seeing gatorade machines in middle school, and in High school we had candy, soda, chips, etc.... but no energy drinks. Its crazy.
