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.[4]

Marketed as "energy fuel at a price you can swallow,"[2] Rip It drinks have been referred to as a "bare-budget option", often costing $1 per can in the United States.[5] They have been supplied to US military personnel serving in Afghanistan and Iraq and have gained popularity there[5][6].

Flavors and ingredients

The drinks come in a variety of flavors (13 different ones as of 2020[3]). There are sugar-free versions of some flavors as well as 2 ounce shots. Some flavors are available in both 16 ounce and 8 ounce cans.[7]

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.[8] 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.[9]

Sponsoring

In 2020, the brand sponsored the 100Talk Podcast, aimed fans of 100 Thieves esports.[10] They previously sponsored Olympic champion alpine skier Julia Mancuso in 2010[11] and the No. 16 car in the Automobile Racing Club of America driven by Joey Coulter in 2012.[12]

Support of U.S. military

The drink is popular and widely consumed by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.[13][14][6] In a 2016 interview, an Army Staff Sergeant noted that "over three-quarters of military personnel are drinking this stuff on the regular".[5] The brand highlights its support for the United States Military in its marketing.[15]
