Energy drinks have been quite the phenomenon here in the United States over the course of the last few decades. People sometimes use them to stay up all night, or even just to keep their heart rate up, helping them feel more awake and alert. Their popularity, especially among young adults means some big business for the food and snack industry, as the energy drink market is poised to reach $85 billion by the year 2025.

A brief history of energy drinks

Sports drinks are nothing new. Back in 1965, a University of Florida assistant football coach asked the Gator’s team physicians to look into why the Florida heat was affecting so many of their athletes. The health care professionals assigned with this task found that the fluids, electrolytes and carbohydrates the players needed to perform were not being replenished adequately.

The team physicians developed a drink to help combat this and Gatorade was born. The Gators went on to win the Orange Bowl the following year, creating a buzz around this supposedly magical elixir. This led to many other college football teams ordering batches of Gatorade and the sports drink industry was created.

Modern energy drinks were created around the same time in Japan. In 1962 Lipovitan D (an herbal energizing tonic) began selling in stores around Japan. It was primarily marketed to factory workers and truck drivers who needed to stay awake for their long shifts. This contained a compound, known as taurine which would become a staple in modern products like Red Bull and Monster Energy Drinks.

In 1976, Krating Daeng was introduced in Japan, but this time the taurine was complimented with B-vitamins and caffeine. This was incredibly popular with businessmen and executives across the Asian market.

In 1984, an Australian businessman, Dietrich Mateschiz had discovered the energizing tonics while on a business trips to Bangkok. He formed a partnership with the company, changed the name to Red Bull and brought the enterprise into European markets. It became a huge hit, and by 1997, Red Bull moved into the United States with great success.

Today, energy drinks are everywhere, from novelty stores, gas stations, grocery stores and even candy shops. Many of these offer a solid source of caffeine, with some containing nearly 3 times as much as a regular cup of coffee! Many come in fun flavors and even feature popular characters from everyone’s favorite movies, TV shows and video games!
