But those stupid freakshakes you get at pubs are ok. Monster is bad for a 14 year old but 2500 calories of freakshake is bad too! Maybe parents should keep better track of what their kids consume.

Isn't that the point, monster drinks are substantially more accessible to the average 14 year old while not under adult supervision than freakshakes.

True. I just really hate freakshakes.
