Energy drink sales continued to surge while CSD sales continued to flounder in the four weeks ending April 19.
ACNielsen data reported by Bank of America’s Bryan Spillane showed energy drinks up by 15 percent in convenience stores, with Monster growing 35.2 percent and Red Bull up 15.7 percent.
It is my contention that an anaylst from bank of America may know a thing or two about what he is doing.
Furthermore, Isn't there some other guy out there that thinks that the C-store is a bad place for Energy drinks and that there are far more better places to grow your brand?

Greg, It's been a while since we have corresponded, I am sorry to hear you have ended your relationship with Redline. In response to this post, do you agree that the growth in the energy drink category will be in innovation, not only in new drinks but from the market leaders(case in point Monster Java) I don't think brand Monster, is growing at 35% but I could be wrong.
