Redbull is having to reluctantly step aside for this newer popular energy drink.
Sting energy drink is a carbonated energy drink produced by Rockstar Inc. and distributed by PepsiCo International.
The caffeine content in Sting varies depending on the flavor, but it is typically around 70 mg per 250 ml serving.
Sting is priced more affordably than some other energy drinks (20 inr), which has made it more accessible to a wider range of consumers.
Some people say that Sting tastes like a combination of Red Bull and Mountain Dew, while others say that it has a more of a sugary cough syrup-y flavour.
Low prices have expanded the category from supermarkets and fancy bars to kirana shops and regular-Joe customers.
The drink is padding PepsiCo bottler Varun Beverages’ profits and contributing nearly 15% to its total sales (up from 10% in 2022)
It is a high-caffeine, high-sugar drink that has been linked to problems like anxiety, insomnia, headaches, heart palpitations, kidney problems, and weight gain.
The brand is now available in over 20 countries, and is growing rapidly in popularity.
