This guy is full of shit. You wouldn't be able to drink it if there was a mouse inside. Those flats of drinks were probably sitting there for months before someone actually bought it.. by the time he drank it the mouse wouldn't have much of a body left because it would've decomposed from the acidity of the drink itself....

If you were cooking at home, and a mouse jumped into your food and you found it, who would you sue then? Yourself? | you obviously have NO idea how the canning/bottling industry works..
they move at a rate of THOUSANDS of bottles/cans a hour..
that means that the rat must of been in the can PRIOR to filling as the filling process is VERY VERY quick and in motion...
they obviously didn't clean the cans prior to filling...

then again, the robots use suction cups to hold the cans...obviously a rat in a can weighs more than just an aluminum can.
usually it goes from the fill station to capping bottles/sealing the aluminum top within seconds...
so only plausible way(in my mind) is that somebody put the rat in a can on purpose or its fake...or i could be wrong about the equipment they use at that particular factory and theres no suction cups, but grippers even then the weight would be noticeable..

This can be plausible, I've spoken to some experts in can line manufacturing. This lawsuit will be an ugly one.
Can process:
-Empty cans are loaded on a machine, mostly suction operated
-cans are then inverted into a high pressure cleaning area (if the mouse crawled in before and was stuck, the pressure washer may or maynot clean it out)
-cans are then filled and lids are capped afterwards
If this is real, my prediction is that a mouse crawled into an empty can and got dehydrated in there, and was baked in.
Fyi: high speed can lines can fill @ a rate of 1800 cans per minute Posted via RS Mobile

the thing is the way they set up the suction cups is to a certain amount of pressure usually just enough for the aluminum cans. not enough for rat that weighs another 200 or so grams..

^ that is correct, so the only way in my mind is dehydration and the carcus baked on.
Trucks that move empty can pallets have no temperature control, and can heat up to 45 degrees. Plausible where a mouse would have crawled in and heated to death.
The process I've mentioned above are of world class manufacturing companies. I am guessing that the can line manufacturing of monster are not world class. Posted via RS Mobile |

if the body decomposed as much as you describe, the guy would have taken half a sip and spat it out.

Because there is absolutely no scenario in the fathomable imagination that is truly impossible; they use the phrase "virtually impossible" which tends to lead to a slightly different interpretation than your word choice.
Also; it just so happens a mouse can fit into an opening 1/5 its body diameter. Sometimes as small as the diameter of a ballpoint pen.
The moron in the lawsuit admits to leaving his can opened and unattended for hours in his car. If he is not an out and out scammer, the mouse crawled in, drown, and later french kissed him with its tail.
Sucks to be him, but Monster (Coke) is off the hook.
Maybe he will learn to have a peek inside when he leaves some sugary mouse trap sitting around for hours next time.

You know, I'm no fan of corporations fucking people over (see my opinion on the Bill the lady received on her cell phone bill), but I'm also not for people being faggots and suing McDonalds for not having a warning on their coffee "caution, contents are hot".
I'm all for fairness, if Monster was fucking us over everyday, or w.e., I'd say yeah, good on him. But please, most of you suck balls. It's obvious this idiot is either making the story up, and if he isn't there still is no reason to sue for "Emotional distress" aka "give me free money because something happened that was out of your control"
Get the fuck out of here, it's not like this pussy is in any way hurt. People in some countries eat that shit..
Normal people would say "wow, I had a fucking rat in my drink, I'm never going to buy it again".
A pussy shit fuck cunt who's obviously only after the money is going to claim "emotional distress " and "damages" ... what damages?You all complain about the law and lawyers yet you're quick to use their tools of faggotry for your own gain. Fuck you! The only reason he's able to do this is because the US/Canada have such shitty laws that allow people to fuck each other over for money. Corporations fucking people and people fucking corporations, it's how they want it.
So, in conclusion, bring on the fails you assholes, You're all a bunch of pussies and need to grow some balls. I'm on a horse.

So, in conclusion, bring on the fails you assholes, You're all a bunch of pussies and need to grow some balls. I'm on a horse. | I just read this thread and I'm actually happy that someone finally spoke up about this. This guy is no different than the people who try to milk the shit out of their misfortunes. This is the same shit with cowards getting a minor injury and claiming WCB for a fucking year while working under the table to make more dough. I've seen my fair share of these people.
Real people who work hard and don't have time to deal such frivolous matters. I applaud people like 7seven, Skinnypupp, because they're not fucking whiners. Shit happens, deal with it, and get on with your life. The way I see it, is that the whiners never get anywhere in life, because they can't accept the fact that shit happens and they can't seem to overcome it without being sympathized by others.
We should all be fortunate that worse shit could happen to any one of us. People in developing countries spend 8 hours a day just to get drinking water. Other people fucking died serving our country at times of war and do you see any of them suing the government for thousands of dollars for emotional distress? How emotionally distressed would you think a veteran is compared to finding a mouse in your drink?
To the people who say, "OH NOOOOOOOO THERES A (insert insect, hair, or foreign particle) IN MY DINNER". Fuck be grateful that you even have a dinner to eat. Go ahead, complain, bitch about it, get all emotionally distressed, and then ask yourself this, what have you really achieved from doing so? You made your point, a mistake was made, your dinner is replaced and comped, you got an apology, what else do you want?
People make mistakes, granted that they are small mistakes that do not have a significant effect on your well being. Should we allow mistakes to happen? Of course not, but there is no perfect world.
Yes it is reasonable that if this story holds water, the kid should receive compensation for the negligence of the manufacture. But don't you think thousands and thousands of dollars is just a cowardly thing to do?
Here's a logical take on this:
This is the case that started it all in 1932 in regards to negligence.
Basically, a woman finds a snail in her ginger ale and the court found the manufacture liable and awarded damages of 500 sterling pounds to her. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donoghue_v._Stevenson
500 sterling pounds = ~800 canadian today
Adjust for inflation from 1932 to 2011 and you get ~$12,500
Inflation Calculator http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/rates/inflation_calc.html
IMO, this precedent would be a good way to decide the amount of damages if the kid is telling the truth. Unless he had gotten ill from an in-curable disease as a result of the dead mouse, or prohibited his life chances in anyway, and can be proven in court, then he should be entitled to more.
But what I've taken away from this is: he found a mouse, threw-up, and his health is in no different condition than it was prior to the incident. So grow a pair of balls and be grateful that you get $12,500 in your pocket.
Does anyone remember the case where a woman claimed that she found human finger in her chili from Wendys?
Well, the woman ended up in jail for 9 years for attempted grand larceny pertaining to the case with Wendy's. If this kid is faking shit, I hope the same thing happens to him. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/food/chili.asp |
