[edit] Varieties
Currently NOS Energy Drink is available in High Performance, Sugar Free High Performance, and recently Fruit Punch. The drink has a citrus/fruit flavor which is very different among most energy drinks such as Red Bull, SoBe, and others. It is distributed in the USA and Canada.
[edit] Marketing
The drink is named after a brand of Nitrous Oxide used to boost cars in performance and during races. It is very common to see the name featured on cars in their commercials. The site also sponsors a mini video section that features consumers doing crazy stunts and other odd things. A "Rate Your Ride" feature is also established for amateur and professional drivers to showcase their cars.
