A “legendary” industry CEO recently told me that all of these claims made on video will be the next wave of lawsuits when he politely told me he’d rather not have anyone from his brand come on our channel.
He was right.
It’s pretty clear that VPX / Bang are making a serious dent in the massive energy drink market, so Monster went digging. And they may have found dirt.
I’ve never seen VPX/Bang make these claims in their advertising, but I admittedly don’t pay much attention to their social media. If they do claim that bang can cure Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, “retardation,” and more, that was some profoundly stupid stuff for them to say.
Ridiculous, instead of responding to bang with a hi caffeine drink with aminos and creatine (pixie dusted I know) with creative, delicious flavor. File a frivolous lawsuit instead. Don’t create a competitive product, use combative law practice instead.
