Coke buying Monster beverage?

Coke may be planning on buying Monster Beverage. If it happens, how do you think it would affect both companies and products?

Sounds like it would take a huge amount of money, even for a company as large as Coca-Cola. They would have to be really certain that Monster could grow as a product. *shrug* I don't care much about energy drinks, but I suppose it could be a good move for both businesses.

I would be fine with this as long as the taste of Monster stays the same. It's the only energy drink I ever get.

Well, it took a few years to happen but it looks like Coke may be buying some of Monster Beverage, etc.

I love Monster energy drinks. Coke buying into them will not change that. I will still buy them.
