There's something magical about the color pink. Just the
word "pink" brings to mind several connotations from princesses and
Victoria's Secret merchandise to breast cancer. Unfortunately, the football
players have ditched their pink attire and the yogurt lids will soon return to
their normal colors, but there is an easy way to support breast cancer research
and awareness year-round.
The energy drink "her" ("healthy energy revolution")
was the first energy drink I came across that indicated a charitable donation
on their label. The label indicates, "5% of net proceeds will be
donated to charity" but it's unclear exactly which charity. If we trust Wikipedia
(and I never let my students use this free encyclopedia as their primary
source), her energy donated to numerous organizations including the Susan G
Komen foundation and MADD. Then again, they also tried to get
Lindsay Lohan out of jail using signs that stated "Free her". I
almost want to give them points for being clever. Almost.
The whole scenario is a bit sketchy and since that drink's
website has been replaced by a site that reminds me how much Japanese I can
still read, let's discuss a different energy drink.
You'll get another one. A better one. That one.
[Ten points and a free gift if you can tell me what movie that quote
is from.]

Green-Eyed Insight on Go Girl Energy Drink
There are some women who aren't so pleased with this energy
drink, like this sarcastic blogger here (
Ms Magazine's sarcastic blogger) but allow me to address some of the points of contention and
highlight why I've chosen Go Girl Energy Drink as the Energy Drink of the Month
for November 2013.
