Urge (drink)

Urge

Urge is a citrus flavored soft drink produced by Coca-Cola Norway that was first introduced in the country in 1996, and later on was released in Denmark and Sweden. It is the predecessor of the American soft drink Surge, which was introduced in the USA in 1997. Urge was discontinued in Denmark and Sweden in 2001. In Norway, Urge sales increased greatly over the years reaching a market share near 10% despite receiving no marketing since its initial launch.

Urge was available in Norway in 0.5 L and 1.5 L bottles, and later also in 0.33 L cans, but in Q1 of 1999 the 1.5 L bottles were taken off the market due to unsatisfactory sales. The cans also vanished from the market a few years later, leaving only the 0.5 L bottles.

A massive campaign by the consumers on the internet community Facebook led to the relaunch of the 1.5 L bottle size on September 1, 2008. . It has a sugar content of 68 grams per 0.5 L bottle.

In 2017, the 0.33 L cans also returned to store shelves.

In 2009, the Facebook group that led to the relaunch of the 1.5 L Bottles helped launched a new Urge branded energy drink called Urge Intense Triple Rush. Much like with many other energy drinks like Burn and Monster Energy, Urge Intense Triple Rush came in 0.5L cans and has a high caffeine content of 32 mg per 100 ml.

In April 2010, A raspberry flavored version titled "Red Sting" launched and was sold until the first quarter of 2012.

In May 2012 an orange flavored version titled "Inferno" launched and replaced Red Sting. This flavor was later renamed Orange and has since been discontinued.

In 2013 a mango flavored version titled "Wild Mango" was launched. After a while this flavor was discontinued alongside the Triple Rush Urge Intense, which led to the discontinuation of the Urge Intense brand.

In September 2017, a Zero Sugar version was launched known as Urge Uten Sukker. This sugar free variant comes in orange tinted bottles, rather than the clear ones regular Urge uses.

V (drink)

V is an energy drink brand produced by Frucor, a New Zealand-based beverage manufacturer. It was launched in Methven, New Zealand in August 1997 and in Australia in 1999. The product's success, a market share over 60% in New Zealand and 42% in Australia, makes it the most popular brand of energy drink in both countries.

The drink was originally available in six different varieties and two standard size packages, which were supplemented with limited edition 300 ml aluminium bottles. V has recently become available in other sizes.

It was available in South Africa as early as 2001 and introduced into the United Kingdom in 2004 and to the Maldives in 2008. The company established Netherlands-based Frucor Brands International in 2010 and entered the market in Papua New Guinea and Spain in 2011 and South Korea in 2012.

The standard size of V drinks is a 250 ml can. Limited edition flavours can be available in 300ml aluminium bottles, 350ml glass bottles, 500ml cans, 500ml PET plastic bottles, or 710ml cans. Due to popular belief it is often a misconception that the size of the can determines a different Gurana and energy content. This is not true as all cans contain the same content in terms of energy additives, In fact the larger cans are of a weaker concentration due to a higher quantity of sugar and water.

in nz there is a 4 pack of 200mls / and a 275ml pack of blue,green,sugar free

As of May 1st there is now a 10 pack of 200mls for green and sugar free.

V Energy was the original V drink. In 2001, the company released V Energy Sugarfree, a sugar-free version which has a different flavour to the standard product. V Energy Black was released in Australia and New Zealand in 2004, featuring coffee flavouring in place of fruit. In Australia it was marketed toward students and advertised as less acidic, with twice the taurine to be gentler on the stomach. It was discontinued in July 2013 due to falling demand.

V Energy Berry, released in New Zealand in 2005 and Australia in 2007, had berry juices, flavourings and lemon juice; it was discontinued in January 2013. V Energy Lemon followed in 2008 with a yellow and gold label, but was discontinued in October 2009.

Vault (drink)

Vault

Vault was a sweetened carbonated beverage that was released by The Coca-Cola Company in June 2005 and marketed until December 2011. It was touted as an artificially flavored hybrid energy drink. Coca-Cola was marketing Vault as a combination with the slogan "Drinks like a soda, kicks like an energy drink," as well as "The Taste. The Quench. The Kick." "Get it done, and then some," "Chug & Charge," and "Get to it!"

Vault was a citrus-flavored beverage containing many of the same ingredients as the Coca-Cola beverage Surge. It was discontinued in 2011 in favor of a reintroduced Mello Yello.

Also, Coca-cola bought controlling interest into an established energy drink called Monster Energy. Monster cost them a literal fortune and continuing to sell Vault would have only taken sales away from a brand that they had way more money invested in.

Test-marketing occurred in a limited area from June 2005 through Labor Day 2005. During this time, the drink was only available in certain markets in Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Texas, and West Virginia. Vault was released nationally in February 2006 following commercials that were shown during the pregame show for Super Bowl XL.

Coca-Cola representatives and the American Beverage Association stated that Vault contained 47 mg of caffeine per 237 ml (8 fl. oz.) serving, or 70.5 mg per 355 ml (12 fl. oz.) can, and 117.5 mg per 20 fl. oz. PET bottle. This caffeine amount was substantially higher than Surge's 52.5 mg per 12 fl. oz., Mountain Dew's 54 mg per 12 fl. oz., Mello Yello's 51 mg per 12 fl. oz., or Sun Drop's 63 mg per 12 fl. oz.
