Supported by Acosta, the nootropic energy shot line continues checkout-focused growth through national distribution partnerships.

May 12, 2026 – ATLANTA, GA – Good Game by T-Pain, the 2-oz. nootropic energy shot line, is now available at 637 Murphy USA locations nationwide, with expansion planned to more than 800 Murphy USA stores. The product was co-created by GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, entrepreneur, and cultural icon T-Pain, CEO of Nappy Boy Dranks.

The company’s expansion is supported by partnerships with four major distributors to the convenience channel: Core-Mark, McLane, The H.T. Hackney Company, and Zuma & Sons.

Designed for checkout placement and repeat purchase, Good Game delivers clean, controlled energy powered by nootropics. The product is formulated to support focus, mood, and cognitive performance, featuring a no-crash, no-jitters, niacin-flush-free blend positioned as a next-generation option within the convenience energy set. It is available in two flavors: Orange Vanilla Vortex and Strawberry Surge. The product is manufactured in the USA and features natural flavors and colors.

Category trends underscore the opportunity. While traditional caffeine-forward energy shots have declined in convenience, total energy beverages continue to grow, signaling demand for newer functional formats. Good Game is positioned to capture demand from consumers seeking a smoother energy experience without the spike-and-crash associated with legacy shots.

The zero-sugar 2-oz. format is built for impulse purchase and repeat use, resonating with commuters, shift workers, military personnel, drivers, and other convenience customers seeking a compact functional energy option.

“Good Game is about getting real focus when it matters,” said T-Pain, CEO of Nappy Boy Dranks. “It’s something I use in my own routine, whether I’m creating, driving, performing, or working late, and it’s built to be something people can rely on.”

As the brand enters 2026, Good Game will continue expanding placements and supporting retail partners through targeted activations across convenience and value channels.

Retailers interested in carrying Good Game by T-Pain can contact Acosta or inquire via the Core-Mark and McLane portals.
