It was not easy shooting for Zack Snyder's superhit film 300. In fact, Hollywood star Gerard Butler who was loved for his role as Spartan King Leonidas, has recently revealed that the shooting was so physically gruelling for all that almost &ldquo;every day&rdquo; an actor was injured.&nbsp;
The 2006 film&nbsp;set the stage for epic films of the genre, proving how great storytelling could go a long way in grabbing box office digits.
The fan-favourite is to date considered one of the great works of Gerard Butler.&nbsp;
<h2>"Insane" number of injuries on 300 set</h2>
While the film was all about wars, the set itself was a warzone for actors as there was an &ldquo;insane&rdquo; number of injuries on the film set.
Speaking to PEOPLE, Gerard Butler said, &ldquo;I remember every day somebody was getting taken to the hospital. You&rsquo;d be doing a fight, you turn around, there&rsquo;s a guy down there, a spear went in his eye. Another time, you turn around, there&rsquo;s a guy over there who just fell, broke his ankle. I mean, it was insane.&rdquo;
Surprisingly, Butler himself did not suffer any injuries, but others didn&rsquo;t share his luck.
The actor however sustained injuries on other film sets including nearly drowning while learning to surf for the 2012 movie Chasing Mavericks.
He said, &ldquo;I thought I was done. They had to take me out, take me to hospital, put me out, give me the defibrillator. I mean, it was intense.&rdquo;

Gerard Butler reveals actors got injured 'every day' while shooting for epic 300

On January 28, a voluntary recall of 300,000 vanilla Frappuccino drinks was initiated based on a note by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 
&nbsp; 
Following that, PepsiCo recalled more than 25,000 chilled coffee drink bottles based on the FDA&nbsp;recommendation. 
&nbsp; 
The recall issued in this case is known as the "Class 2 Recall", which means that if the product is maintained in the market, it can cause temporary or permanent health issues among customers. 
&nbsp; 
The issuance by the FDA is an outcome of the findings of glass pieces in the bottles; the fiasco could have caused serious harm. The bottles were then&nbsp;recalled, keeping in mind that customers had to be protected from any potential damage.

Why is PepsiCo coming into the picture? 
&nbsp; 
It was almost 20 years ago, almost in 1994, when the North American Coffee Partnership (NACP) was formed. The NACP amalgamated&nbsp;the coffee giant brand Starbucks and the beverage mogul PepsiCo. This joint venture allowed Starbucks to provide its coffee expertise while PepsiCo took care of its distribution.

This Joint Venture alone has a 97% market share in RTD coffee. 
&nbsp; 
However, the recent findings by the FDA have pushed back the outflow of their packaged bottles of Starbucks coffee, with further investigations being carried out to look into the problem.

As per reports, the batch containing the expiration dates of March 8th, May 29th, June 4th, and June 10th have been affected. Another report states that the distribution occurred in Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.

In an official statement by the NACP, PepsiCo mentioned&nbsp;that the Frappuccino products have been removed from the market and are not being sold at retail stores of Starbucks. 
&nbsp; 
In September 2022, a similar case happened when foreign material, involving metal fragments, contaminated their Starbucks Vanilla Espresso Triple Shot beverage. 
&nbsp; 
PepsiCo has issued a landline number (1-800-211-8307) for consumers to resolve queries or doubts. The brand further communicates its intention of "Delivering a quality experience" to consumers that remains their "top priority" as they continue to act cautiously.

Starbucks recalls 300,000 units of its infamous 'Vanilla Frappuccino'

As DC fans go gaga over Zack Snyder's 'Justice League', the director's&nbsp;first comic-book movie star, Gerard Butler, looked&nbsp;back fondly on his breakout role in 2007’s fan-favourite '300'.

In an interview, Butler recalled, “I met him for coffee in the valley to discuss playing King Leonidas, the musclebound alpha warrior who leads an army of 300 Spartans into battle with Xerxes. 
 
The 51-year-old actor added, “I came in like a force of nature, but I was met with an equal force of nature, and the two of us came together like a whirlwind.” Butler marched back and forth outside the Starbucks that day demonstrating what he thought “the Spartan walk” should look like. “And Zack’s jumping up and down and going, ‘Yeah! That’s awesome!’ We bonded from the start.”

The film, which drew its plot and striking visual style from the 1998 Frank Miller/Lynn Varley comics of the same name, required its cast of to wear very little. “That was the best shape I have ever been in in my life,” Butler said, who worked out six hours a day. “In some ways, I was ruining my body, but I was looking amazing doing it.”

The $60 million Warner Bros. feature began its two-month shoot in Montreal in October 2005; except for one exterior, it was all performed in front of bluescreens. “There were times you would walk around in your red cape and little leather underpants and someone would point at nothing and say, ‘Look! A burning village!’ And I remember going, ‘Oh my God. This movie’s going to suck,’ ”&nbsp;Butler added.

“When I first saw the final product, I was with 13 of my representatives and friends, and our jaws were dropping,” Butler remembers. “It was like, ‘Look at what Zack did!’ I can’t speak highly enough about him. As a director, as a creative, as a kind, excited, passionate guy.”

'300' set a box office record at that time with its&nbsp;opening and went on to gross $456 million worldwide.
