Nintendo Spotting: Energy Drink Edition

I spotted “Power Up Energy Drink” at a large boutique store in St. Paul, Minnesota. After doing some research I found that this drink had been sighted on Kotaku as found in a train coach in Canada and is apparently for sale at the Nintendo World Store in New York- which leads me to assume that Nintendo does know that this product exists. Has anybody out there actually tasted this?

    Which store in St. Paul? I’m only 15 minutes away.

    Hmm. I went to New York last summer and visited the NWS, but I don’t recall that product. I wonder if they added it since then.

    Does it taste like plumber?

    I have not had this (or heard of it before now) but I’m interested in trying it. I found a website which sells it here.

    Anyone know if this site is reliable?

    My girlfriend saw this in a Suncoast store not long ago, and she bought a can for me. Most energy drinks have a more bitter taste whereas this one was quite sweet. Reminded me of cherry 7-up actually. Worked great as an energy drink too cause I sure as heck didn’t get any sleep that night. Instead I played sume NSMB. Thought it was appropriate.

    I have one of those in my house right now, there everywhere out here.

    The store was on the corner of Cleaveland and Ford Parkway, in St. Paul, and it was a large boutique with lots of greeting cards, toys, and novelty items, but I don’t remember its name.

    You can buy them at urban outfitters.
    i bought one, but havent tasted it yet.
    my sister has though.
    she said it was really good.

    I haven’t tried it, but have seen it multiple times.

    I think Nintendo knows about it, considering it’s licensed by them :) (I decided to check when I saw it at Spencer’s in the mall)

    So it’s available there, though the place may be local

    it is also available here:

    to my knowledge, all the drinks except red bull are by the same company.

    I’ve gotten and tasted one.
    It kinda tasted like cotton candy.
    They sell them at a candy store where I live.
