Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Here's an advertisement I'm sure the company wasn't prepared for.
A man in New York is suing the makers of the nutritional drink Boost because the drink gave him a three day erection. He claims that the ordeal was unbearable and embarrassing and that he sustained "severe bodily injuries" and impotence. No word on how much money the man is seeking.
There's an old joke by a comedian, can't remember which one, that goes something like "Call a doctor? If I had a four hour erection I'm calling everyone I know!" But I don't doubt something like that would be painful (he underwent something called a "winter shunt," which sounds awful) and really scary. Though I wonder how they will prove Boost was the cause? (And isn't it odd the name of the company is Mead Johnson?)

I guarantee you that the sales of this product will, um, surge as this priceless publicity makes its rounds. Hell, I could use a boost right about now...

Boost Plus consists of water, corn syrup solids, sugar, milk proteins, oil, and small amounts of various vitamins. There's nothing in it that could have resulted in this man's symptoms.
