I noticed there’s no polski writing on the cans

  1. They apparently are sold here, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them before.

  2. May be a regional thing because I have personally never seen one

  3. I’m addicted to energy drinks and yet i’ve never heard of this brand before

  4. There literally are some factories that mix batches of some default energy drink and put them in those exact cans for any company that pays them for it. All you have to do is to select what you want them to print on the can. Usually it’s usually some promotional BS, and that’s why literally every gym in Poland has their own brand of this exact energy drink. I suspect this is the same slop, just someone chose this exact can and shipped it all the way to USA.

    [EDIT]
    Found one:

  5. Haha, I have never seen one in a shop here, but I was in a team that was developing a mobile app for them some time ago. The project fell through, caused the boss came back from a month long vacation and found the project to be a bad idea. Still got paid 😄

  6. Seen the regular flavour as the cheapest option on a gas station. Kinda awful

  7. Typical no-name energy drink brand. Dozens of those, they usually operate in the lower price range (1.50-2.00 zł for such a can, about half a dollar)

  8. I’ve seen them. They are cheap alternative to redbulls 😅

  9. They mainly export their products so yes, you cannot find them easily in Polish shops or gas stations

  10. I’ve seen it once, maybe twice. In discount section. Compared to Tiger or BLACK it’s nonexistent

  11. I have bought a Monster in a middle eastern bodega in nyc that had polish lettering and “made in Ireland” label.

  12. No, they aren’t, and I haven’t seen an “XL” energy drink in a looong time. Mind you, I have no idea if those were the same ones but they did exist, but disappeared at least 10 years ago, probably more than that.

  13. Probably made just for export. It’s apple flavor and apples are one of polands biggest exports, grew up drinking juice from Polish apples with my American school lunch

  14. I saw XL energy drink in a Polish store for the last time about 15 years ago. I thought it no longer existed. Meanwhile, on their website they advertise several different flavors – where and to whom do they sell it, some small neighborhood stores? BTW import sodas from Poland to the US is crazy

  15. Never saw one in mazury area, nor Warsaw, or Kraków. I’m an energy drink slut and will try anything once.

  16. Never seen one in my life. It’s weird that they were made specifically in Poland and shipped all the way to the US. Usually only concentrates are shipped between continents (due to lower weight) and then bottled/canned locally. Especially some [presumably] cheap no-name stuff such as this. So maybe Poland manufactures the concentrate (for some reason), and ships it to the US where it is canned.

  17. Weird. This is the main energy drink brand in Israel. Never saw it in Poland

  18. No. Certainly not under this brand.

    That company however [can put your logo on the cans](https://xlprivatelabel.com/strona-startowa/) of their sugary poison, sorry, “energy drink”, which is probably what some of the “specialty” energy drinks that pop up every now and then might be, say, like for an election campaign or sth.

  19. I’m making my new goal to try one of these XL energy drinks.

  20. Poland is world’s 8th largest energy drink exporter in the world. There’s a ton of no name brands here which all taste and feel the same (near identical to red bull) and likely come from the same factory.

  21. They are not, and it looks like waste of fuel to make energy drinks in europe to ship them to us
