Full Throttle is an energy drink brand produced by The Coca-Cola Company (through its Fuze Beverage subsidiary). It debuted in late 2004 in the United States and Canada. It is known for its sponsorship of National Hot Rod Association competitions from 2008 to 2012.
On April 24, 2008, it was announced that Coca-Cola would change sponsorship of the National Hot Rod Association professional classes from Powerade to Full Throttle. This branding lasted until 2012, after which Mello Yello became the brand of choice.
In November, 2009, Full Throttle introduced a new "full-flavored" formula, including a “No Choke Mixture,” which promises “full flavor you don’t have to force down, and reliable energy ingredients that help you get the job done. No mystery ingredients. No bull.” The "No Choke Mixture" comes from the change in the formula, where the tell-tale extra carbonation of Coca Cola Company carbonated beverages was removed. The formula was called "full-flavored" both as a play on the product name, and to reassure consumers that despite changes, the drink had not lost its flavor. The mixture is a refined formula delivering 200% of the respective daily values for niacin (Vitamin B3), pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) and cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12); 50% of the daily value for pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5); 197 mg D-Ribose; and 160 mg Caffeine (reduced from its original 200 mg formulation in 2013) per 16 ounce can. Unlike most energy drinks, Full Throttle does not contain a number of ingredients commonly found in energy drinks such as glucoronolactone, inositol, milk thistle extract, carnitine, or guarana. The use of taurine varies by region.
In 2012, Full Throttle Energy Drink partnered with the USO. New USO-centric cans of the Citrus, Blue Agave, and Red Berry are available.
The graphics on the new Full Throttle were inspired by classic automotive design elements. Full Throttle comes in 16-ounce cans and is available in Citrus, Blue Agave, and Red Berry.
