Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

Bang Energy, for a short period of time, was synonymous with the picture-perfect healthy lifestyle. Its outlandish health claims had everyone jumping at the opportunity to try a can, hoping it could improve their exercise capabilities and brain function. Sold by one of the most eccentric owners the world has ever seen, Bang quickly became a cultural phenomenon. But, their overwhelming success would prove short-lived when they ran headfirst into an insurmountable amount of lawsuits. By the end, it was just too much for them to handle, now, the company is holding on by a string.
