First of all, "Energy Drinks" aren't as 'awesome' as they're described. RedBull advertisements say it can give you wings - truth be told, it can also give you a heart attack, It can cause you to collapse due to the high amount of caffeine inside it - and this energy buzz won't last long - it doesn't even HELP your performance in activities. Due to this factors, It's banned in most school sports.
If ROBLOX is going to advertise something with the a product that isn't considered a drink (it's considered a "VITAMIN", yet I don't know how they can call it that), then they're going to have to rethink what they're teaching kids.
Sign a petition and support the removal of this gear and the message it brings to the kids on this game. |

Depends if this 'energy drink' is actually something like RedBull and not Coke. Coke has much less caffeine. |

They should add a Life Water bottle.

Where do you even get that gear? |
|
|
@surge u get it from a 25 dollar gamecard bought at wallmart. |
|

It is just a game and I think it is up to the parents to decide if they want to give there kids red bull or not. Dont blame ROBLOX it is red bulls fault for not putting a warning(if hey didnt) so dont throw a boulder on the ROBLOX admin who created that hat because i bet they did not even know.
if life gives you lemons keep them because. Hey, free lemons! |

@Fren
the redblox is a gear, not a hat ._. |

Yet society treats these energy drinks like they're "natural".
The FDA has the energy drink companies on a very tight leash seeing as these drinks are vitamins, not soft drinks - thus they do NOT require much warning/labeling.
If ROBLOX is going to allow that to be advertised instead of just "Bloxcola", they to rethink on that. |

I do not see what's wrong with this, but I think it would be good if they advertised healthier stuff too. So I 50% support. |

Awww mommy doesn't let you drink energy drinks so now you want to make a big stink about things??? Too bad grow up. |

"mommy doesn't let you drink energy drinks"
I'll do what I think is rational and what I want to do.
I choose not to drink poison, because it has a chance of killing me. |

It's made out of a bunch of pixels, it won't "kill' you :L

Remove the gear? I spent 25 bucks buying a card from Walmart to get it. The gear isn't bad, since it makes you go faster. Its just a creative idea a ROBLOX admin came up with. Neither does there need to be teaching or logic or go with it |

Who said they were advertising? I do believe that most gears made in their image do come from anonymous sources, but they have never revealed, nor advertised the origin of their products. They're just virtual items; no one needs to determine where they got their idea from.
And if otherwise, the infamous gear "Bloxy Cola" would've made an obvious appeal to several companies that endorse different cola products. The energy drink presumed to be originated from "Redbull" is far from becoming a real-life threat to the children. We might as well also believe that kids will soon handle those "13+" guns around their household. |

The energy drink is what you're bringing up?
The M1 Garand gear is a very realistic looking model of the actual M1 Garand. Since we're talking about bad influences here, I don't think ROBLOX should be creating gear designed specifically for the purpose of murdering somebody, if the gear actually has a real life equivalent and is perfectly attainable, too.
I agree, it's either to acquire an energy drink than a rifle, but it's not like the kids who play this game are actually gonna go out to a drugstore and purchase one of those drinks without the approval of their parents just because a drink somewhat similar to a soda in stock at stores is also acquirable in ROBLOX.
There are bad influences everywhere. A soda is a more controversial bad influence. But I see absolutely no problem with a gear on a virtual game called "Energy Drink" and only somewhat represents an actual soda. |

Depending on what energy drink it is, if it is bad like RedBull I give a damn.

Dude, chill. I mean, even the guns are fine. They have guns. But guess what? Go play CoD, and on the mic you find 7YOs. Seriously. It's not like because kids see an energy drink in a game they're gonna go buy one IRL, and energy drinks aren't a serious threat. It's a [beep]in' drink.
Guns, though may be a little more troublemaking, but when you find out that / year olds play CoD and GTA (One of the most inappropriate games ever for children) it's normal. I mean, even if Roblox didn't make the gears, there would be hundreds of perfectly realistic models.
YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID |

I thought that the realistic gun gears that ROBLOX made were 13+. |
