Rip It is an energy drink that is produced and distributed by National Beverage Corp.[1], maker of Shasta, Faygo, and La Croix. It was introduced in 2004[2][3] and is National Beverage Corp.'s first energy drink.[citation needed]

The drinks come in more than 15 flavors (the source indicates both 15 and 17 flavors), including some sugar-free versions and eight different shot flavors. Some flavors are available in both 16 ounce and 8 ounce cans.[4] A second source mentions 13 flavors not including sugar free varieties.[3]

Marketed as "energy fuel at a price you can swallow,"[2] the drink contains 160% daily value of vitamin C, 240% daily value of vitamin B6, and 830% daily value of vitamin B12 per 16 fl oz serving according to product packaging (purchase date: 2020-11-24). It also contains taurine, caffeine, inositol, and guarana seed extract. Sugar-free versions contain sucralose and acesulfame potassium.[5] Rip It drinks average about 160 mg of caffeine from all sources per 16 oz. serving according to product packaging (purchase date: 2020-11-24). A 16-oz can of Lemoan'r flavor has 204 mg of caffeine.[6] In the United States, the drink has been referred to as a "bare-budget option", often costing $1 per can.[7]

The brand sponsors the 100Talk Podcast,[8] Olympic champion alpine skier Julia Mancuso[9] and the No. 16 car in the Automobile Racing Club of America driven by Joey Coulter in 2012.[10]

The drink is popular and widely consumed by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.[11][12][13] In a 2016 interview, an Army Staff Sergeant noted that "over three-quarters of military personnel are drinking this stuff on the regular".[7]
