Battery energy drinks facts for kids
The Battery energy drinks are popular drinks that give you a boost of energy. They are made by a Finnish company called Sinebrychoff. These drinks get their power from natural ingredients like coffee and guarana extracts. They also contain taurine, which is a common ingredient in many energy drinks.
Sinebrychoff is part of a big international company called Carlsberg. Battery energy drinks were first launched in 1997. Today, you can find them in more than 35 countries around the world. The main idea behind the brand is to give you energy, just like an electric battery. Their slogan, "Keeps you going," tells you exactly what they aim to do!
What Kinds of Battery Drinks Are There?
In addition to the original Battery energy drink, there are many different flavors. Some of these include coffee, cranberry, and sugar-free options. You might also find flavors like ginger, orange, and a special "jungled" version. There's even a sports drink called Battery Hydro. The types of flavors available can change depending on the country.
In Finland, some past flavors included Heat, which had cranberry and chili. There was also an orange juiced flavor and an energy Shot.
How Battery Drinks Are Packaged
Battery energy drinks are mostly sold in plastic bottles that hold 40cl. They also come in cans that hold 33cl. In August 2010, a special larger can was released in Finland. It held 0.568 liters and was called "Battery Limited Edition." Now, this larger size is sold as "Big Edition" because it's no longer a limited-time offer.
In March 2011, the design of the bottles was updated. The amount of drink in the bottles changed from 45cl to 40cl. At the same time, the price for each bottle became lower.
Where Can You Find Battery Drinks?
Battery energy drink was first created and launched in Finland in January 1997. Right from the start, it was planned to be sold in many countries. In the summer of 1997, it became available in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The next year, it was launched in Norway and Sweden.
Today, Battery is sold in about 40 countries. You can find it on almost every continent where people live. Sometimes, the drinks are changed a little to fit local cultures. For example, in Yemen, the can design was changed. The plus sign was replaced with a lightning bolt to better suit Arabic culture.
