Just how do these energy drink (Monster, Red Bull, ect.) companies put so much money into our sport.
And just not our sport but into all the other sports they are sponsor in.
Red Bull sponsors so many events and yet their drink taste like shit.
Also for Monster, how much did Reed win for winning the Triple Crown?
Do people really buy that many energy drinks a day so that these companies have this much free money?

Consider you can buy a twelve pack of 12 oz. Coca Cola or Pepsi for what one 12 oz. Red Bull costs.

Red Bull funds their SX/MX programs with the $$ they find in their couch cushions on the semi's they use for their two F1 teams.

You would be surprised the amount of Monster vending machines they have at my College. Even more surprised you would be after you saw all the kids drinking them...
