Flu Prevention with American Energy Drink

american-energy1Have you ever wondered as you take a sip of your favorite energy drink, what could have been crawling on top of the can where you are now putting your lips?

Rats, roaches, ants, bacteria, viruses, and perhaps even various body fluids could have come in contact with that can top since it left the factory.

Well, now that you’re totally grossed out, energy fiend found out that there’s a new energy drink that’s the first to use a sanitary can top seal. American Energy Drink, yet another patriotic energy drink, wants to not only energize you, but also prevent you from getting the flu, anthrax, bubonic plague, yellow fever, ebola and many other deadly diseases.

Ok, I may be a little sarcastic, but there is some truth to this. I believe a few years ago a lady got quite sick from a contaminated soda can and if you wipe most cans with a white cloth some black residue will appear.

Unfortunately, I think there might be some ulterior motives here. When I looked at the website I got the impression that this is a way for drink companies to possibly make some extra revenue by advertising other products on these sanitary toppers.

I couldn’t find out anything about the drink itself, so I’ll have to check into that later, but it looks like it will be released in the Southeast, USA first.

I love the possibility of profit from paranoia.

Fear is an excellent motivator.

I usually wipe the top if I buy single cans.

When a knarley Indian guy handles my can right before I put it on my lips, this pisses me off! It’s like putting his fingers in my mouth! If there is a can top cover, USE IT.

When you wipe a can and get black stuff, it’s actually dark gray and it’s called aluminum oxide. You can do the same thing with most aluminum products.

The cans of ‘Rip It Chic’ that I bought in Walgreens some time ago came with a foil cover.

Which is why nobody in America has any immune system anymore. “Dirt is the devil!” “Wash your hands!” “Get rid of those nasty germs!!!”

The doctors [still bound and gagged from their wild affair last night with the drug companies] don’t tell us that small amounts of germs boost resistance to disease. Otherwise nobody would be able to sell any [hand sanitizer brand here]. So rise up, boys and girls! Cram that dirt in your mouths! Freely share the love-mucus in schools…make germs, not war!

…but seriously. They’re taking the sterilzation thing too far.

I loaded vending machines for a couple years. Mice, roaches, and even birds nests were longside these soda cans. Spiders left tracks everywhere. Sorry, no cans for me!

My brother services the pest control industry and he constantly warns our family about food and beverage can overspraying. All grocery stores are constantly sprayed to curtail insect and rodent proliferation. If “American Energy Drink” can protect us with a peel off safety seal, and the beverage companies will profit by it, than it must be done.

I just sneezed on your can top! Will you please lick it off for me?
