Questions

Which energy drinks are being discontinued?

Of the drinks we've rated, 5 are still in stores but on their way out: Reign Storm Peach Nectarine, Reign Cherry Limeade, BANG Blue Razz, BANG Star Blast and BANG Cotton Candy. Each entry below names the source.

Which energy drinks have been discontinued?

141 drinks we've rated can't be bought as a single can anymore. The highest-rated is Adrenaline Shoc Acai Berry (93).

How do you pick the closest match?

It's the first drink from the Similar drinks on each review that you can still buy: same brand first, with the closest Shark Score, then other brands with a similar caffeine kick, the same sugar status and a close score. It's matched on our numbers, not on taste notes.

How do you know a drink is gone?

We check every drink against the maker's current lineup first, then major retailers (Walmart, Kroger, Target, H-E-B, Amazon). A drink is marked no longer sold only when neither lists it. Spot one we got wrong? Tell us.
