Thank you itunes and 5-hour energy for driving me to a better music service

If you're an itunes radio user, you'll notice every 30 minutes or so you'll get this annoying advertisement from 5-hour energy:


Imagine listening to that about a dozen times a day every day.  You'd think itunes would be smart about not annoying their customers.  After several weeks (probably months) of listening to this crap, I've turned to paying the $99/yr to be an Amazon Prime Music user which makes it so I can listen to all sorts of genres without ads, but can download them for free if I like them.

Pretty awesome!  And no more 5-hour energy ads!

"It's 8 am and you didn't sleep great, so you need a 5-hour with a new improved taste.  Like Berry, Orange, Pomegranate and Grape.  Citrus, Lime even Pink Lemonade.  
Have you tried 5-hour energy lately?

Oh If you need extra time, we've got extra strength. Flavors like Sour Apple, savory today.

 It's got a new improved taste and comes in 10 great flavors."

Major marketing fail when you drive your customers away with your lack of advertisement variety.
