    I was just gonna chime in about this. All the convenience stores have lots of promo material like 2 for $5 etc (on whatever size can, and it has been going on for at least a few weeks. I actually bought 2 earlier... they are good.... VZ still a dyed in the wool Redbull fan however. Who remembers Jolt Cola? "Twice the sugar and all the caffeine." Didn't someone die from it? It had ephedrine in it too. :D I think that was some Brooklyn boys that came up with it.

    Maybe we should short Monster, I haven't looked at it in awhile. Sometimes when products like this launch nationwide promo's at their largest point of sales ... they do it to beat (or they are worried about) the top line revenues.

    I'll have to look at a chart. It is definitely worth a look.

    FIZZ came in with record sales... and another colorful commentary by that crazy 91 yo CEO. :thumbsup:

  6. Red Bull Jello shots, the college kids loved them. Have you tried Ghost Jolly Rancher Apple or Swedish Fish? No sugar and they taste incredible! FIZZ, my old buddy! CELH lost its premium price here, it’s on sale frequently for $.99 with Rockstar.
