Monster Energy Drink, 16-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24)

Price: $32.50 ($0.08 / fluid ounce) + $18.49 shipping
Really? Sucralose and Acesulfame(bad bad bad stuff). Didn't they mention Stevia? Really disappointed with this. Going to taste like every other drink that uses it.
Not a big fan of those choices either. they want to attract to those making healthier choices but hope those people are not very smart or serious about those choices. The food coloring is a bummer, too. I'm sure plenty will buy it but I would prefer different marketing target. People are dumb and i suppose L5 knows this.
Well, for the past several months I've been wondering what the sweetening agent/s would be for the revised vitamin fizz. I was hoping it would have turned out to be something natural such as cane sugar or stevia but instead it's Acesulfame Potassium and Sucralose, both artificial sweeteners.
Here's the complete list of ingredients, at least for the lemon lime but all products have the same base: Carbonated Water, Erythritol, Citric Acid, Natural Flavors, Potassium Sorbate (to preserve freshness), Sodium Benzoate (to preserve freshness), Niacinamide, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, Gum Acacia, Glycerol Ester of Wood Rosin, Ascorbic Acid, FD&C Yellow 5, FD&C Blue 1, EDTA (to preserve freshness), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Cyanocobalamin
I hope you realize that the company is not going to ONLY sell products through Amazon. In fact, the Amazon sales it not what is going to bring in the needed revenue.If you read yesterday's PR carefully,it states categorically that Amazon is to allow the MINE fan base to try the product before the product is more widely available.
I agree with you that most purchasers on Amazon would be shareholders and their relations but that's by design. As far as the shipping cost goes, its a non issue because I don't see it stopping product enthusiasts from ordering. Much ado about nothing really.IMO
OK audience, what is the word of the day?
Survey says........................ ACCUMULATE !!
MINE $$$$ Don't be silly...there is a huge market for vitamin enhanced beverages...if the choice was plain bottled water or vitamin fortified water, consumers will chose the fortified. As far as the shipping cost via Amazon...just submit a product request to your local grocer and ask them to get VitaminFIZZ on the shelves

Beverage wars are heating up: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/coke--monster-b...14456.html
I agree with you to a degree, but I believe we will start moving up gradually from here prior to release of fins. Just as we moved up from double 0s, we will move to upper 01s and more.
Shipping discounts are for heavy shippers. I worked in logistics for awhile and as a 20 billion dollar company we got about a 20-30% reduced rate. Mine right now would get almost zero reduced rate.
$9 shipping is about right
Go mine!
interesting week. looks like we just gotta be patient until q4 to gauge revenues for big movement imo. we also have other developments such as nationwide rollout, THC, and vitamin creamer to look forward to as well. just gonna sit back and be patient
read today in our newspaper that coca cola had a deal with Monster. hope something similar happens to MINE
imo
belginvest
i'm talking about a class of beverages -- MJ infused drinks, as a class, will become more popular than beer imo. give it time, as legalization sweeps the world, and the beverage industry adapts.
MNST has had a great thing going, but i'm sure the market $MINE is aiming for with T.H.C. will be much larger than that.
no one is expecting a $MNST sized market cap overnight, either. nevertheless, growing revenues, quarter after quarter, will make lots of millionaires. especially as initiatives to trim debt and retire shares kick in.
see, it all makes sense. imagine that.
Ok this is my last post for the weekend here let's make it simple. Say inventory is 300 cases random flavors. Now there are say 250 shareholder all ordering. How long could it take one worker to box all 250 orders an hour? So figure his/her hourly wage is 10 dollars per hour? I mean you have to wait 6-10 days for your shipment to even ship so you know they are doing it all together.
Shipping is much cheaper for business I'm not sure exactly a price but for me to ship a box with the weight and for the size listed on amazon it would cost me 9.25 I would estimate they get at least a 50% discount. But I'm not sure I'm tired and going to bed goodnight and good luck
90% of the sales will be to people who have no idea this is a public company or even care.
OMG! I love to here a positive post! MINE WILL do well........ We just need to give it time. So many BIG people involved in this company. So many years of beverage experience between them all. I STILL believe MINE is a solid play. GOOD THINGS ARE COMING! patience is a must. MINE!
All I am saying is that when you have a product and your charge 16 dollars for it and you expect the average customer and not shareholder (key point here) to pay 50% of the cost just to ship it that's going to deter 99% of the customers from trying this drink that they have never tried before! If they can't figure a way to reduce shipping cost they should just try to get it in stores before listing it online. But they know that shareholders are dying to try it! So they sell it on amazon! What are you guys not seeing here? They could put a 2 case minimum on the shipping and ship for free I am sure there is a nice profit margin on the product. Businesses don't pay that much for shipping if you have a business account with any shipper!
Think logical who's really going to buy this product? If you can't tell it's you guys! Only the shareholder who are invested into the company not traders not anyone else.
it will sell, and probably a hell of a lot more than $MNST ever has. <--- did you really just say that? Haha do you realize that the largest beverage company just invested 2.16 BILLION DOLLARS INTO MONSTER?
Be realist with your MINE claims.
I have to comment...... As for the shipping price, 9.00 IS REALLY not that bad. You have to pay people pack it, as well as pay for shipping. Labor is not free and shipping is not cheap. It is being sold directly through Power Brands not Amazon. Therefore, PB incurs all costs related to shipping as well as a percentage or fee to Amazon for listing on its website. I read awhile back that Amazons actual Website Business (The store) is not a winning proposition for the company. It loses money yearly on it. Amazon makes there money from their main business which is their cloud servers and business division. Just my 2 cents, for what it's worth. GLTA. MINE!
