Update Information for This Brand

Manufacturer's Brand Overview: [Edit]
High Voltage Beverages is located in Charlotte, NC. It's run by two entrepreneurs, Bill Sipper and Owen Ryan. Ryan created the VOLT® brand in 1997 and over the years he carefully researched it with consumers across America. He heard them say they wanted drinks that were different than the same old sodas and sports drinks their parents and grandparents drank. They wanted more choices and more taste intensity than offered by those leading carbonated citrus sodas and sports drinks brands that have been around since practically forever! WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT. VOLT® "Citrus Shock" soda is formulated with a high intensity citrus flavor that delivers a really refreshing taste. And does so with just the right blend of "energy drink" ingredients like Taurine, Ginseng and Guarana. VOLT is definitely different. VOLT's naturally-flavored sports drinks are fortified with antioxidant vitamins B6, B12, A & E and contain Taurine for an extra boost of energy. Plus, VOLT is formulated to replace important electrolytes your body needs. OUR PROMISE TO YOU. We will always listen to what you say. Volt's creator Owen Ryan says: "We promise to give you exciting and energized choices in the drinks you drink everyday. We know we're competing with the big boys and if we're going to win, we need your help. And to get your help, VOLT has to be different and taste better! Everyday we wake up and realize that we have to battle against the biggest soft drink brands on the planet, so to get you to spend your money on our products ? instead of on their products ? we have to innovate and always stay a step ahead!"

Fruit Punch Shock

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 16 oz
BevNET Review: Volt has created another nice flavor with this variety, a fruit punch flavored drink that’s been kissed with guarana, ginseng, and taurine for a hit of energy. It’s a moderately sweetened product, with mellow fruit flavoring and a crisp finish. Labeled as a “high intensity refreshment” and featuring the words “energizing” and “shock”, the product is trying to position itself as the middle road between caffeinated CSDs (e.g. Mountain Dew) and traditional energy drinks. From an energy point of view, it’s hard to gauge just where it fits, but from a flavor and branding point of view, it fits the bill. On the other hand, being so closely aligned with the CSD category (which is in perpetual decline) seems like a move that will make the road ahead challenging for this brand. Still, between the strangely addictive flavor and clean design, it’s a product that we think is good enough to have a decent run in this category.

Mango Shock

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 16 oz
BevNET Review: Of the new flavors, this was the only one that we couldn’t identify by flavor alone. In this case, “tropical mango” actually tastes more like “peach mango.” Plus, it almost has a candy-like flavor to it. In our opinion, this variety could use some work. Perhaps going more in the direction of “orange mango,” would make for a more palatable – and marketable – offering.

Pineapple Shock

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 16 oz
BevNET Review: With a sweet tropical pineapple flavor and a crisp finish, this flavor of Volt is surprisingly addictive. Unlike other pineapple flavored CSDs that we’ve tried, this variety isn’t as sweet, which is a good thing, and it has an “energy drink” bite to it (there’s added guarana, ginseng, and taurine). Factoring in the product’s use of high fructose corn syrup, the product has a very mainstream feel to it. The same can be said for the packaging, which looks very much like what we’d expect to see from one of the big guys, rather than an independent. Matching the color of the liquid with the accent color on the logo gives it a polished and attractive look. Overall, it’s not the highest quality CSD out there, but they’ve accomplished what they were going for: a very marketable beverage that’s pleasant to drink and offers a hit of energy.
