If you were cooking at home, and a mouse jumped into your food and you found it, who would you sue then? Yourself?

You're kidding right?
So you're saying that having cats, dogs, and mice in the kitchen of whitespot (or any restaurant establishment you go to?) is acceptable?

No it is not because it is UNSANITARY! The same goes for food packaging plants. They can't have rodents/animals wandering around the place. Like any restaurant, it is the manufacturers responsibility to maintain sanitation.

That is fuckin' disgusting.

Harvey Specter 04-04-2011 10:31 PM

That is fucked.
On the topic of food packaging...my friend use to work at a company that packaged food for airlines and he would tell me even under strict quality control stuff like bugs and other crap would make their way into the packaging. I've also heard horror stories from friends who worked at superstore warehouse like rats going into open containers and or rat shit on fruits and veggies.

Dude has every right to sue.

It's called duty of care. If you provide things are are to be consumed, you have the duty of care to make damn sure your product is suited for consumption. A dead mouse violates this. "Freak Accident" is not an excuse in the eyes of the law.

Monster will settle with this guy way before this ever makes its way before a judge. The guy that found the mouse is a smart dude. He kepted it closed and sent it to a lab right away. He knows how to get paid.

Sue for:
Emotional Distress
Sleeplessness
Fear of canned goods
Loss of work

so you wouldnt do anything if you found stuff that shouldnt be in there and youd be ok with it...

i hope that guy got a medical checkup.. i would hate for him to find out that he got some sort of disease from that mouse

MAN.. i just bought a flat of V8 from costco.. i hope there arent any vegetarian mouse..

This is true, witnessed it myself when I worked at the superstore warehouse.

twitchyzero 04-04-2011 11:23 PM

lol @ skinnypupp
but in all honesty i think this claim is bogus
i dont work at a soft drink plant but i'm pretty sure the cans are pre-fabricated and the liquid just gets injected into them then gets sealed. Thus it's impossible for a mouse to climb through. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

twitchyzero 04-04-2011 11:23 PM

i remember reading the news years ago and they found a condom inside taiwan beer lol

That mouse looks relatively big. How could he not have felt that added weight or even when just moving the can the guy should have noticed something wrong?

SkinnyPupp 04-05-2011 12:23 AM

Maybe I'm wrong but imo if they can't prove negligence on monster's part, I don't see how they can sue. If you found a mouse in your drink, consider yourself unlucky. Nobody tried to harm you, it was just a fluke.

Not sure why everyone is getting up in arms about this and trying to flame me, it's just my personal opinion on this matter. It's probably even wrong. But the way I see it, if they weren't doing it on purpose or grossly negligent, it's just bad luck.

Yeah, that's what I thought too.
Everyone's jumping the gun and going nuts about this.

I find it hard to believe he had to finish the entire can before he noticed something was wrong with the drink. I can guarantee the drink would have tasted horrible upon several sips.

He did not, because the drink was fine to begin with. Because it had no carcass inside the can.

anything can happen in the states man.. look at how many lawsuits about retarded shit..

Lady bought coffee from McD's.. puts it between your legs and it spilt.. she sued and won! perfect example of how everyone can sue anyone for anything pretty much..

I am not a scientist, or any kind of soft drink packaging expert, but I think this is a shakedown too.

The company even alluded to the reason why, without directly stating it in their public address.

From the time the can is sealed until it is bought by the consumer, I imagine is a pretty significant amount of time. Or at least it was in this case. Obviously they don't want to come out and directly say the product was 3 months old, as it doesn't sound too appealing to consumers.

Therefore, the mouse would have basically been dissolved I imagine (someone else can do the experiment) and it would have completely changed the taste/color/etc of the drink.

The question is, did they have an inside guy working at the forensics place, or did they figure out a way to get the mouse through the opening, without breaking any of the bones; which doesn't exactly seem that difficult.

But yes, I do agree companies who allow rodents/insects to join in the production/packaging process, deserve to be held financially responsible to some degree. Its common sense.

LiquidTurbo 04-05-2011 01:07 AM

How the hell could this guy 'finish the drink' if there was truly a rotting mouse inside?? You think it would taste the same?

That's not unlucky. It's their job to make sure their product is safe. If Yokohama sold u tires that had broken steel belts that you never saw and it blew out of the highway and you ran into a tree. Were you "unlucky"? Surely they did not try to harm you. Does that make it ok?

Whoops, looks like your flew shot was tainted with Hep A B C and also fucking X Y and Z. Sorry for the bad luck. Our bad!

Bonjour43MA 04-05-2011 01:13 AM

Sorry for sidetracking this, and pardon me for not keeping up with RS' bullshit politics, but why the FUCK can't we fail Skinnypupp? Cuz he's a Mod?

That's fucking retarded. You are still just another guy with your own opinion on things, what gives you more rights than anyone else here? Fucking hypocrite.

subwoffers 04-05-2011 01:13 AM

Rethinking this again, I think Monster will actually battle it out in court even if it was legit.

1) The dude will no longer be able to afford the fees. Monster wins
2) If Monster wins = good news for Monster, no PR damage
3) If Monster loeses, it's no worse than settling out of course since settling implies guilt in the eyes of most ppl.

Monster may have paid him Shut-up money if he did not go to the media. Now that it's out. It can't hurt Monster to duke it out in court.

well the guy probably didn't expect a rat to be hiding there in the first place, hence he was so comfortable gurping that monster

As long as they did that job, without negligence, then yes it was just a fluke.

Yokohama's whole business is based on creating products that cannot fail. If someone runs over a nail and it pops their yokohama tire and they crash, they can't due yokohama. They just had bad luck. Like this guy who bought the can with a mouse in it.

That's not the point. If you bought a can of coke, and something was rotting inside it, you'll taste it before you see it.
Whether you expect it or not. And most likely, you'll vomit or have diarrhea before you finish the can,
whether you knew there was a dead rat in there or not.
