PowerAide and RockStar are on the Wiki list, but I don't see Monster.

EDIT: In August 2014 Coke bought a 16.7% stake in Monster. No news that they have sold it, so Coke is a part owner of Monster.

Dale,
It looks to me like they just bought into the Monster brand and are doing the marketing and distribution. (15% share) I don't think it will carry the Coke-A-Cola branding. Coke will still have it's own brand of power drinks. Monster will still be it's own company and brand. I could be wrong, but that is what I think I see.

well after looking into this deal it seems Coke bought a portion( 16%) of Monster for $2 BILLION CASH to get the Monster "juice" business and it looks like they are going to divest their (Coke's) energy drinks to Monster Co.---so technically its " in house" and not a violation of the ruling prohibiting other energy drinks. Wonder what would happen if another company say Pepsi bought the other 85% what would be the outcome???
