Sting Gold Energy Drink 11.3 oz (320mL) Can (Vietnam)

Vietnam's Sting Gold — the PepsiCo energy drink America never got

Sting is PepsiCo's energy drink empire across Asia, made in Vietnam by Suntory PepsiCo — and it has never been sold in US stores. This is the Gold can, the one collectors hunt for: an amped-up taurine formula with red ginseng, in the tall 320mL Vietnamese-market can.

What It Tastes Like

Intensely sweet and smooth with light carbonation — a golden, candy-like fruit flavor rather than the sharp citrus bite of US energy drinks, with the ginseng giving it a little depth underneath. This is a full-sugar drink (62g per can), and it is at its best ice cold.

Who This Is For

Energy drink collectors working through the flavors America never got, Sting fans who know it from overseas, and anyone who likes their energy drinks sweet instead of sour.

FAQ
