So you are actually promoting for other people to buy and drink out of date products? You gotta be kidding me, right?

So technically, as they are now unfit to drink, they really are just cans of horse p***.

jeezus man, No one is promoting anything. mearly informing us of it's availability.
At least kyro_02 is telling us they are out of date. it's YOUR choice if YOU want to go buy and drink them. Not kyro's. :

Energy drinks are bad enough for you when they're in date.

Remember that young guy overseas who drank about a dozen cans and died from cardiac arrest?

sound like vicroads, trying to make decisions for everyone else lol...

doesn't have expire on it... just a best before, which is a guideline when you should consume it, but a bit after that its still ok. put it this way, i'm still typing, so i haveen't crawled into a ball and died

Its probably best I don't buy them by the slab as I'd have a heart attack. I've been known to drink over 2 litres of V a day during hardcore coding sessions. I've cut myself back to a litre on a normal day now.
