These days you see a lot of ads for energy drinks, but how many of them give back? 50 Cent has got himself one interesting business -- he sells energy drinks called Street King (or SK for short) and when you buy an energy shot, a meal is donated to a hungry child.
This isn't a brand-new business of 50's, but it's still good to talk (or Tweet) about it because not everyone knows this deal is going on. 50 retweeted:

You heard the man. So far 50 Cent's energy shots have supplied more than 3.5 million meals. I'm going to say that number again: 3.5 million. It's hard to wrap your head around a number that big, especially when you realize that number exists because of energy drinks. Well, energy drinks and 50 Cent's philanthropic business sense to use energy drinks to help poverty-stricken kids fill their tummies.
Besides getting the drinks you want and knowing you're helping kids, 50 is also offering extra awards. That includes the possibility of you winning VIP tickets to a 50 Cent concert! If you go on over to Street King's website, you'll see how to get started. First and foremost, you become a member, and then you can earn points by doing things like entering the codes you find on your SK Energy Shots or watching vids that are supplied to you. 50 is also hoping you'll spread the word through social media, like Facebook or Twitter. While we know some of Fifty's actions have been questionable in the past, he's really serious about feeding a billion people.
