Shark Energy Drink is an energy drink sold by Osotspa Co., Ltd. of Thailand, which modified the ingredients from the pre-existing M-150 that launched in 1985, five years after it was appointed by Taisho Pharmaceutical[1] with the licensees to manufacture the world's first energy drink from Japan called Lipovitan D.
Shark Energy Drink is available in a number of variations, including
Shark Energy Drink is available in over 89 countries, and made its debut in UK nightclubs (like The Blue Orchid in Croydon) in 2002 & in the US later in 2008. The drink is slightly promoted in America, Europe and Asia.[citation needed]
The Buffalo Silverbacks of the American Basketball Association were renamed to the Buffalo Sharks in 2008 to promote the brand.[2]
Regular Shark Energy contains natural caffeine from coffee, natural strawberry extracts and the Sugar-Free contains natural grape sugar.[citation needed]
As of May 2020, Osotspa Co., Ltd has ceased production of the drink in Austria and has also left several European markets.[citation needed]
