What You Should Know

You'd find this in the energy drink aisle or a chilled grab-and-go cooler at a convenience store — a zero-calorie tropical pick-me-up for busy commutes, late-night study sessions, or pre-gym boosts. It projects a modern, functional vibe: health-forward marketing (yerba mate, monk fruit, added vitamins) but delivered as a highly formulated, fizzy beverage. The ingredient list (carbonation, natural flavors, extracts, isolated vitamins and sweetener extract) and industrial processing point to an ultraprocessed product with a smooth, fizzy texture rather than whole-food ingredients.
