Boy I love me some Monster Assault, that would be tough for me to boycott. Seems ridiculous, kinda like the Samsung vs Apple stuff.

We agree entirely that the actions of Monster Energy seem absurd. From what we know of the situation, we made the call today to remove all the Monster Energy drink from our beverage cooler up by the front counter. Our primary focus is the health of the aquarium hobby, and people's success and enjoyment in it. Online aquarium forums have come to be a valuable resource in helping spread knowledge of best practice. We'll keep Monster Energy off the shelf until we get word that all this silliness has passed over, and MFK is able to operate without the looming stress of being sued relentlessly.

Please drink red bull if you can.

They sponsor so much cool stuff for young kids, teens, and adults as well.

Every time I see a car with one of those stickers on it, I want to punch them in the neck.

Thanks for listening.
