Wasn't there a story about coke having a worm found in it's can?
(something that sounds a lot more feasible/believable)

Didn't stop anyone from drinking coke. This will be forgotten soon enough,
and I'll carry on drinking Monster.

The more I'm thinking about this, I think I'm simply going to refuse to believe this is even a true story,
and he's trying to set up a scheme to get money.

I think he explained his story inaccurately, because some of the stuff doesn't add up.

He said he backwashed it, and debris went in his mouth? wtf is that supposed to mean.
But if a dead mouse was really in the can, I doubt he would have been able to finish it. It would have tasted like
shit, and maybe if this is his first time drinking it, that would be his only argument as to why he wouldn't know
why it tastes so bad, thinking that's how Monster is supposed to taste like.

Even then, I'm pretty sure he would have vomitted after drinking half of the can, if even.
Drinking liquid mixed with carcass would be enough to make anyone's stomach turn, whether you know it or not.

If I screw up my own food, I have the incentive to learn the lesson and not make the mistake again. If someone else screws me up, there's no incentive for him to not take advantage of me if there was no punishment. Since when did you start assuming people aren't selfish.

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.

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.

[twitchyzero]

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]

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

[Energy]

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]

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.

http://investors.hansens.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=561482
"Mr. Sulzhik has stated he drank part of a Monster Energy drink and then left the can opened and unattended for hours in his car, providing ample opportunity for a small mouse to crawl into the can. He later returned, finished the drink, and at that point allegedly found a mouse in the can."


More like:

"Mr. Sulzhik has stated he drank part of a Monster Energy drink and then left the can opened and unattended for hours in his car, providing ample opportunity for Mr. Sulzhik to vomit or have diarrhea."

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

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..

[Hurricane]

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]

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?

[subwoffers]

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.

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.

[AzNightmare]

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.

[SkinnyPupp]

If a tire had "bad rubber" then they aren't doing their duty of creating safe tires. If a drink had a mouse jump into it by total fluke, even when they are doing their best to keep the area clean, it's just that - fluke. Not negligence.

Again this might not go along with the US court system, but that's the way I see it :thumbsup:

Actually I would think maybe? I'm not too familiar with Yokohama tires,
so I'm not exactly sure about their claims about their tires being puncture proof.
Is that more of a "slogan" or is that something they are truly featuring?

I can imagine a company that makes bulletproof vests would get sued if
it claimed to stop "X" type of bullet, and it failed to do so.

[SkinnyPupp]

I'm pretty sure all safety devices have disclaimers which indemnify them from all sorts of liability.

I'm not a lawyer, so let's just agree to disagree... let the bloodsuckers figure their shit out. I still hope the kid gets nothing but a big fat bill though.

[AzNightmare]

If a tire had "bad rubber" then they aren't doing their duty of creating safe tires.

The claim is Monster isn't doing their duty of creating safe drinks then. So being unlucky isn't the issue.

Either way though, I think the kid does deserve money if this is true.
But too bad I think this story is full of sht, so the kid should get nothing. :)

[SkinnyPupp]

The problem I see is that they'd have to prove they weren't doing their duty of creating safe drinks. How do they do that? Review the facilities? I guess after that is done, we'll know for sure. If there are mice all over the place taking shits everywhere and jumping into empty cans, then they have a good point.

Otherwise, just a fluke, and they should get nothing.

If the story is full of shit, even better :)

I would not pay for the meal, and in fact, I would never go back there again.

It is not okay even if it was an accident. It is pretty much mandatory for them to not charge me a penny for that plate of food.

And for this monster drink case, I think it is mandartory for the company to compensate the kid after the incident, if it is true. I'm not talking about millions of dollars in compensation, but obviously that is what the kid and everyone (except for skinnypupp) want. Even just reimbursing the kid the $3 he spent on the drink is better than nothing.

No, I would probably expect my meal to be comped or at least replaced. But I wouldn't expect hundreds of thousands of dollars like this geek is. I wouldn't claim emotional trauma and all those other buzzwords just to get some free cash.

[46_valentinor]

It doesn't matter if its one cockroach or a thousand, the fact that there is even one present in their product is unacceptable. Accident or negligence, it doesn't matter.
However, the story does seem a bit fishy...

my dad found a clump of fur or mold (something like that) in his coke bottle (when i was a kid) he complained and a Coke rep came and gave him a few cases of coca~cola as an apology and made sure to take the contaminated bottle with him

i remember the subject of filing a suit coming up but my dad simply said "mistakes happen"

[LiquidTurbo]

I don't see this story as true. But if it were, Monster deserves to be sued, are you kidding me? It's not a "fluke". Manufactured food have certain "tolerances" if you will, when it comes to foreign matter like bugs, etc. For example in cans of soup there are acceptable amounts of insects parts that the manufacturers cannot exceed.

In this case it was clearly exceeded, so it is like a defective product that causes damage. It's FAR different than your cockroach restaurant scenario.

Rats carry and spread disease, and dead animals can make you pretty sick in general. This is a pretty fucked up case.

I understand SkinnyPupp though. I honestly wouldn't sue or press charges for anything unless whatever happened resulted in costly medical bills or something. Maybe this would be an exception, but everyone is way too goddamn litigious. I wouldn't feel right going after hundreds of thousands of dollars when I haven't suffered any damage or loss.

i think you hit the nail on the head with that reply.
companies work this way. they are reactive to situations.
when one thing goes wrong, they try to figure out why so it never happens again. i work for a large corp so im used to this sort of mechanism.

monster should have zero rodents in cans. not one per billion, but zero.
and if there is one rodent in a can, they better be putting some sort of new standards in place to make sure it does not happen again.

can you imagine if a year from now, another mouse is found in a monster drink?
that could pretty much sink the whole brand.

[G]

Pretty sure this is fake... I mean, if you are chugging the can, wouldn't the rodent sink and upon lifting, splash down to the opening? The guy must be retarded to not have noticed that before finishing.

And on the topic of cockroaches and insects in restaurants, yes, it is traumatizing. I have had this happen to me at a relatively famous Chinese restaurant in Vancouver and let me tell you, it freaked the fuck out of me when I see an insect 1 inch long with antennae still intact within a soup-based spinach dish. Now I always inspect my dishes upon eating at that restaurant, whenever we go, which is less frequent after the incident.

Not sure how real this is...but, when I was like 11 I quickly grabbed a cup from the cupboard and drank some water out of it. Only after I finished the drink did I notice it still had old food particles all in the bottom (the dishwasher had messed up). I STILL check all my cups before use, over a decade later. So I can only imagine having found a mouse in a closed can how that would affect this guy if this is in fact legit.

[jmvdesign]

I'm not surprised this can happen. This is a true story. When I worked in the kitchen (not naming my previous employer), I was doing the nightly cleaning after the dinner rush for closing. I took out a bunch of plastic inserts that held ketchup/sauce bottles from the fridge on the cooking line. Sanitized and wiped the insides of the fridge and when I was changing the plastic inserts (mandatory daily), I found a dead mouse underneath the ketchup/sauce squeeze bottles. I'm assuming it was there the whole night and it was squished to death from using those sauce bottles and placing them back in and out of those insert containers during the night rush. I don't know how it jumped inside the fridge on line but it freaked the hell out of me when I found it and felt pretty disgusted as I was serving food all night long. The chefs and managers obviously told us to keep it on a hush hush. This was about 7 years ago.

a restaurant is different from a manufacturing company though. And this is coca cola were talking about, not some new low budget startup company . I would expect their quality control to be top notch with the amount of capital they have. Coca cola is known for outsourcing large segments of their supply chain. It could be possible the mouse entered the can in some low cost factory that they outsourced their can manufacturing? No matter where in the supply chain or how it happened I would think the company is still liable for a mistake like this :/ Now I'm always going to look twice after opening a can of pop....

[AzNightmare]

How does the plausibility of finding a mouse underneath a bunch of squeeze bottles
equal to finding a mouse inside a sealed "pop" can?

Or are you saying you found a dead mouse inside your ketchup bottles?

I highly doubt the mouse was in there prior to production.
Not to mention a mouse inside would take up additional space in the can, making the monster drink overflow during
the filling process in the factory, which would then be detected by the inspectors before the cans get shipped out.
I'm pretty sure when the drink is poured/injected into the cans, the machines are programmed to fill to the top of the can.

[jmvdesign]

I'm pretty sure when the drink is poured/injected into the cans, the machines are programmed to fill to the top of the can.

I believe there's a few ways to fill bottles/cans in a manufacturing process. By weight which means a sensor measures the weight of the bottle/can and stop automatically, both of which can account for the weight of the mouse and stop automatically without overflowing. Even if the bottls/cans get filled by a preset amount, it would just over flow and no body would care as over flowing is probably a common thing. The bottles/cans gets one last rinse to make sure its not sticky.

Also I might be wrong on this but I believe cans do not have the top lid on until after the fill process. So its highly possible for a mice to fall in during the filling process.

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...

[baggdis300]

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....

you so sure about that?

do this, put a chicken drumstick into a cup with monster wait 4 months and see if its still there...

In that case, it's probably fake

[baggdis300]

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..

[Wetordry]

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

[baggdis300]

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..

[Wetordry]

^ 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.

[Hurricane]

May or may not?

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.

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.

here is what i think happened....that kid purchased a monster drink...then empty it ..and then took a baby mouse he could easily slide in the opening...then over a month he continually feed it untill it got bigger,....then he rinse the poop and food out ...and re-filled it with monster soda....then made this claim....

You wouldn't even need a baby mouse. Adult mice could easily fit themselves through a hole like that if they had reason to. If this was done purposefully, all you'd have to do is throw a piece of cheese in there, and a mouse would certainly go in after it.

[AzNightmare]

Seriously, some of you guys are over exaggerating the ability of mice.
They can squeeze through some pretty tight areas, but only about the size of their head.

Some of you guys make it sound like mice can collapse their entire bone structure, squeeze through something, and then expand.

A mouse that size would probably have to be a bit smaller to fit in comfortably.
You have to remember if a mouse squeezes itself through a can opening, it'll probably
suffer some cuts and scrapes cause a pop can opening is pretty sharp.

[SkinnyPupp]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGP-35JuiMI

Look at the size of the holes in the planter that mouse squeezed through. It's probably narrower than a finger - maybe even narrower than the mouth of a monster can.

[LiquidTurbo]

^ uhh.. didn't the mouse push the planter out and escape from underneath it? lol.

[Jgresch]

(||||FAIL||||) < That is for Skinny puppy.

That mouse puts his head through a couple times but eventually pushes the planter up and runs out.....

[SkinnyPupp]

You guys are fucking morons.

The mouse got IN through one of the holes. It tried to get out the same way, but since it was loose it couldn't.

Fucking god :facepalm:

[JSilver]

Its unfortunate that there isn't actual footage of the mice entering through the whole... :whistle:

[flagella]

You guys are fucking morons.

[Oleophobic]

In the video description it says:

"Jonas discovered these 2 plant pots jumping around in the garage, Mr mouse had squeezed down through a hole, then not been able to get out."

but yeah I would like to see it actually squeeze through cuz damn those holes are tiny

[SkinnyPupp]

Because mice can fit through small holes like that. It's a known fact.

And I have no patience for stupidity and ignorance, that's why I lost my temper.

[Manic!]

If the mouse was in the can before it was filled the can would have overflowed when filling. I'm pretty sure QC at the bottling plant would have spotted it. Also if it passed qc the can would be sticky. This is B.S.


http://pestcontrolcanada.com/rodents.htm

Skull size is the only thing that restricts rodents entering small holes or cracks. For a mouse this could be as small as a pen. Rats will burrow or chew to make small holes large enough. Mice will often chew wiring where it passes through holes. Holes made for plumbing provide easy access from the basement or crawl space to all levels of a home and the attic.

http://forums.canadiancontent.net/hot-topics/49577-can-mouse-really-fit-into.html

Any openings in your home that are wider than 6mm (a quarter of an inch) and you're in trouble: through a combination of squeezing and nibbling, the mice could well be moving in. And remember, too, that the resourceful mouse can also jump 46cm (18in) vertically, swim, happily travel upside down and scuttle up pretty much anything.

http://www.cdc.gov/Features/Rodents/

Mice can squeeze through a hole the size of a nickel, and rats can squeeze through a hole the size of a half quarter!

[BNR32_Coupe]

How does the plausibility of finding a mouse underneath a bunch of squeeze bottles
equal to finding a mouse inside a sealed "pop" can?

Or are you saying you found a dead mouse inside your ketchup bottles?

I highly doubt the mouse was in there prior to production.
Not to mention a mouse inside would take up additional space in the can, making the monster drink overflow during
the filling process in the factory, which would then be detected by the inspectors before the cans get shipped out.
I'm pretty sure when the drink is poured/injected into the cans, the machines are programmed to fill to the top of the can.

i've been in the production plant of molson brewery and i can tell you that the entire surface on the top of the can is a lid. the rim of this lid is bent to a very small degree in a way that seals itself permanently to the cylindrical part of the can. therefore, a mouse can easily drop into the can and be sealed inside.

in addition, the amount of beverage they pour into a can will just overflow and pour into a catch basin at the bottom of the factorys conveyor system. there's no high tech sensors or scientists measuring spillage or anything like the people in this thread are implying.

i find it funny that people are calling this guy out for being a faker. if its a rat in a drink, it can't be real. if its e.coli in maple leaf foods salami meat, then it must be plausible. but i can see where all these nay-sayers are coming from; it's common to hear of these type of corporate milking stories from the US. this case just happens to be (apparently) legitimate though

http://blog.lib.umn.edu/trite001/pstl1082anatomy/coke.jpg
the entire circular part on the top is a cap. a machine called a capper seals this onto the can. a rat can easily fall into the can during the capping process

The guy was right to sue. With that said, if Monster was smart, they would've given him $50k or whatever, agree to change their inspection procedures, and that would be the end of it. But it looks like they didn't. That's probably why this guy hired a lawyer.

Even though I'm not a fan of suing for trivial stuff (like that case where a chick discovered a fried chicken head inside her bucket of KFC), I'm on this guy's side in this case. Even 1 mouse at the bottling factory is too much. The onus is on the food producer to guarantee the safety of its products.

The poor guy even said he backwashed the can before realizing what was inside. :eek: I'd probably hurl myself.
