My boyfriend now tells me that he likes bang after I’ve seen it on MEH many times. But I can’t find it now. Is it all sold out? Or am I overlooking it?
Costco carries variety cases. The convenience stores around here have half a cooler dedicated to sll the various flavors. The other half is filled with Monster flavors.
I don’t think I’ve seen the Lemon Tea flavor here on Meh and MorningSave. Probably because it is non-carbonated. I’ve grown kind of fond of it, and will haz sadz when I run out. Cut in half with iced water is perfect for me.
it was hot about a year ago… (always a new kid in the energy drink game…)
around the same time as Bang, we also got Zoa(Dewayne Johnson’s energy drink) which around here is distributed by the local Miller/Coors Distributor.
sold way more Bang than Zoa…more flavors too…
The new darling this year (around here) is Ghost, distributed by the local Budweiser distributor.
Hah! this may explain your trouble finding it…
Pepsi has been the distributor, but they had some corp. disagreements… Bang is transitioning to a direct distribution model…kinda like redbull… if I read that right.
@earlyre Might explain the dumping if Pepsi was trying to tank the alimony payment by doing the shittiest job they could marketing and then low-ball the divorce settlement claiming they still had tons of inventory to get rid of. Hollywood accounting drink industry style.
I hope they make pepsi regret it and fire the execs that “let Bang get away” when they go unicorn.

@earlyre Costco had flats of the Zoa when I was there today. Looked interesting, but I didn’t bite because I didn’t want to buy a full flat if I wasn’t a fan of the flavors.
Haven’t seen them elsewhere though to try. Wonder how they taste?
The first thing I thought of when I read the topic was the card game. But it makes a lot more sense that you’d be talking about the drink, since Meh has previously sold it to great applause and groaning.
Walmart and Circle K in my area carry Bang. Walmart I think has singles and 12 packs. Circle K has cold singles unless it’s been pushed out by a newer product.
I see cases of them at our local grocer. Convenience stores usually have them as well. Might be a regional thing?

@mike808 I second this, I’ve seen them at Costco as well! I’m in Texas, for reference.

@PHRoG I’ve seen Zoa at circle k if you have those around your area.

@xobzoo
I didn’t know what the heck she was talking about!
I’ve seen it sold at Target.
I am in NW Indiana, 30ish miles from Chicago - our Walmart carries it.

Thanks. I didn’t think of Costco. He drinks so many of them I want to buy them in bulk.
