Good Game by T-Pain recognized among the convenience industry’s most innovative new products

ATLANTA, Ga. — June 30, 2026 — Nappy Boy Dranks today announced that Good Game by T-Pain has been named a finalist in CSP’s 2026 Retailer Choice Best New Products Contest (BNPC), one of the convenience industry’s premier product recognition programs. Finalists were selected by CSP’s editorial team and now advance to voting by convenience store retailers, with winners announced prior to the 2026 NACS Show.

Since launching, Good Game by T-Pain has expanded into thousands of retail locations across the U.S., supported by national sales through Acosta Group and distribution through Core-Mark, McLane, The H.T. Hackney Company, and other leading distribution partners.

“I’ve always believed that if you build something people genuinely enjoy, everything else will follow,” said T-Pain, CEO of Nappy Boy Dranks. “Being recognized by CSP means a lot to us because it shows we’re building something that’s connecting with the industry. Now we’re focused on getting Good Game in front of even more people.”

“Recognition is appreciated, but execution is what builds a brand,” said Jason Tucker, President of Nappy Boy Dranks. “Our focus has always been creating value for retailers by delivering a product consumers come back for. We’re grateful to CSP and look forward to continuing our expansion with our retail and distribution partners.”

Good Game by T-Pain is a zero-sugar, 2-oz nootropic energy shot line formulated to deliver clean energy, focus, and mood support without the crash associated with many traditional energy products. Today, the brand is available through convenience retailers, e-commerce, and other retail channels, with continued expansion nationwide.

Convenience store retailers may vote in CSP’s 2026 Retailer Choice Best New Products Contest through August 7, 2026, using CSP’s official voting portal.
