From substitute teacher to energy drink mogul, Jack Owoc rode a wave of caffeine to build Bang Energy into a billion-dollar empire. Bang promised to make you smarter, stronger, and immune to hangovers. Turns out, the only thing it boosted was CEO Jack Owoc's bank account. But when Monster came for his market share and the music industry came for his TikToks, Jack learned that no amount of “super creatine” could keep him out of bankruptcy court.Emma Willmann (Crashing, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) and Anjelah Johnson-Reyes (MadTV, Funjelah) join Misha to drink up all the juicy details of how America's third largest energy drink company came and went in just a decade.Follow The Big Flop on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.

There's SO MANY business lessons from the “rise and fall” of Bang Energy, some of which are still emerging years later. In October 2022, I stated within my original bankruptcy content that “it's hard to separate Bang Energy the brand (and product) from its founder…which will arguably become its biggest Catch-22 challenge.” And that statement personifies the legal battle over the personal social media accounts of Jack Owoc. The court ruling stated that “ownership of accounts is based on the existence of documentation or the basis if an individual has exclusive control of the account. If unable to reach a conclusive determination on those criteria, the next question is what the account is used for.” So, it could establish a legal precedent for all CPG brand founders to prioritize ownership of accounts in documentation (or risk losing them during a breakup).

La cafeína es considerada una droga psicoactiva por varias organizaciones debido a sus efectos estimulantes en el sistema nervioso central. Algunas de las principales entidades que clasifican a la cafeína como una droga son:1.Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) – Considera la cafeína una sustancia psicoactiva y ha estudiado su potencial adictivo en diversos informes. 2.Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos de EE. UU. (FDA) – Clasifica la cafeína como un fármaco y un aditivo alimentario. 3.Instituto Nacional sobre el Abuso de Drogas (NIDA, EE. UU.) – La incluye en la categoría de sustancias psicoactivas con potencial de abuso leve. 4.Asociación Americana de Psiquiatría (APA) – En el DSM-5 (Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico de los Trastornos Mentales), reconoce la “intoxicación por cafeína” y el “síndrome de abstinencia de cafeína” como trastornos médicos. 5.Organización Internacional del Café (ICO) – Aunque no la clasifica como droga, reconoce sus efectos psicoactivos y el potencial de dependencia. 6.Comité Olímpico Internacional (COI) y Agencia Mundial Antidopaje (AMA) – Hasta 2004, la cafeína estaba en la lista de sustancias prohibidas en el deporte; aunque ya no lo está, sigue siendo monitoreada por sus efectos estimulantes.Aunque la cafeína es legal y de consumo generalizado, su clasificación como droga psicoactiva se debe a su capacidad para afectar el cerebro y generar dependencia.1: Genera adicción y dependencia extrema2: Dependería de una sustancia para hacer mi vida3: Altera los patrones de sueño4: Gastaría dinero todos los días de forma innecesaria5: Muchos cafés (como el torrefacto o las cápsulas de máquina) contienen sustancias cancerígenas y además el café provoca estrés, ansiedad, problemas de corazón y del estómago. Y mancha los dientes.6: Pierdo libertad y foco (después de sus efectos)7: Impacto medio ambiental desmesurado de los monocultivos del café que acaban con la biodiversidad de toda la zona de plantación.Todo esto no me lo he inventado yo. Hay infinidad de estudios científicos que dejo en la descripción.No hace falta ser Albert Einstein para tomar un café y activarte al momento y para darse cuenta de la adicción que genera. Siempre cuento que el médico le dijo a mi madre que dejará el café y el tabaco. El tabaco lo dejó al momento, el café lo redujo pero nunca lo dejó.Aquí tienes la lista ordenada de alimentos y bebidas con más cantidad de cafeína: 1.5-hour Energy (shot energético) – 350 mg/100 ml 2.Café espresso – 212 mg/100 ml 3.Tabletas de cafeína (por unidad) – 100-200 mg 4.Café de prensa francesa – 120 mg/100 ml 5.Café de filtro – 96 mg/100 ml 6.Bang Energy – 63 mg/100 ml 7.Redline Xtreme – 64 mg/100 ml 8.Café instantáneo – 63 mg/100 ml 9.Chocolate negro (>85% cacao, por 100 g) – 80 mg 10.Semillas de guaraná (por gramo) – 40-80 mg 11.Chicles con cafeína (marca especial, por unidad) – 50-100 mg 12.Monster Energy – 32 mg/100 ml 13.Red Bull – 32 mg/100 ml 14.Rockstar Energy – 31 mg/100 ml 15.Té negro – 47 mg/100 ml 16.Té matcha (preparado) – 25-35 mg/100 ml 17.Helado de café (por ración de 100 g) – 30-45 mg 18.Té verde – 30 mg/100 ml 19.Refrescos de cola – 10 mg/100 ml 20.Agua con cafeína (marcas especiales) – 10-50 mg/100 ml 21.Chocolate con leche (por 100 g) – 20 mg 22.Café descafeinado (contiene algo de cafeína) – 2 mg/100 ml Vamos con algunos estudios científicos que dicen que el café es bueno:Estudios científicos que dicen que tomar hasta 4 tazas de café es bueno para el corazón, vivir más y cosas así.Es curioso como existen infinidad de estudios científicos que te dejo en la descripción que indican que la cafeína es una droga con efectos secundarios gravísimos pero el café que es la bebida con más cantidad de cafeína de repente es bueno.Ok, debes saber esto: Nestlé, la marca de cereales azucarados que conoces y del chocolate Nestlé, es la propietaria de Nescafé. Mira: Desde 1963 existe el Organización Internacional del Café que busca aumentar el consumos del café en el mundo.El Promotion Fund del International Coffee Agreement (ICA) fue creado en 1968 como parte de los esfuerzos de la Organización Internacional del Café (OIC) para promover el consumo de café a nivel mundial. Su objetivo principal era financiar campañas de marketing, investigaciones y actividades para aumentar la demanda de café, especialmente en mercados emergentes.¿Sabes quién está ahí metido? Nestlé.El de los cereales que junto a Coca-Cola y Pepsi financian diversos estudios científicos para echar la culpa al sedentarismo y a las grasas del cáncer, ataques al corazón, diabetes… y no al verdadero culpable, el azúcar.Mira: https://borjagiron.com/estudios-cientificos-financiados-coca-cola-pepsi/Nestlé, a través de su marca Nescafé, ha invertido en programas de desarrollo y sostenibilidad del café, como el Nescafé Plan, que busca mejorar la calidad del café, apoyar a los agricultores y fomentar el consumo global.Nestlé tiene Alianza Estratégica con Starbucks desde 2018:* para expandir globalmente las marcas Starbucks® en el sector de foodservice. En este marco, Nestlé se convirtió en distribuidor autorizado de productos Starbucks® en canales fuera del hogar. weproudlyservestarbucks.com* Estudio sobre el Café y la Diabetes Tipo 2 (2013): Científicos de Nestlé, en colaboración con el Hospital Universitario de Lausanne y la Universidad de Berna, publicaron un estudio en el American Journal of Clinical Nutrition que demostró que el consumo de café soluble puede reducir la resistencia a la insulina, un factor subyacente en la diabetes tipo 2 y enfermedades cardiovasculares. empresa.nestle.es * Uso de Inteligencia Artificial en el Cultivo de Café (2024): Nestlé ha empleado inteligencia artificial para desarrollar variedades de café más resistentes al cambio climático. Un hito clave de este proyecto fue la creación de un genoma de referencia de alta calidad para el café arábica, facilitando el desarrollo de cultivos más resilientes. hostelvending.com ¿Todo eso funciona? Aumento de las ventas año tras año.En 2023 el mercado del café estaba valorado en aproximadamente 495 mil millones de dólares y se espera que siga creciendo en los próximos años.Se consumen más de 2,25 mil millones de tazas de café al día.La cafeína es una droga. El café es la bebida con más concentración de cafeína. Y de repente el café es bueno.Es como el vino. Los estudios se hacen con vino sin alcohol pero eso no se dice.

What does the Terminator, artificial intelligence, and Bang Energy founder (and former CEO) Jack Owoc have in common? Well…if you hadn't seen the recent energy drinks market news yet, it's probably A LOT more than you imagined! For those that didn't see the announcement yet, Bang Energy founder (and former CEO) Jack Owoc is launching a new energy drink called AI Energy. And if you were wondering…the AI in AI Energy does indeed pay homage to artificial intelligence technology. In fact, many aspects of AI Energy from its visual identity to its digital media assets were developed with AI image generation software. According to the website, AI Energy will utilize a 12-oz sleek can and initially be available in four flavor variants. Based on the earlier comments from Jack Owoc (and seeing the supplement facts panel), AI Energy will be within what I call the “focus, cognition, and nootropic” segment of the performance energy drinks subcategory. Beyond the typical exclusionary callouts (like zero sugar or artificial colors) within the performance energy drink subcategory, Jack Owoc focuses on three other (let's call them lesser known by the mainstream market) ingredient concerns that are avoided by AI Energy that includes natural caffeine, cyanocobalamin (synthetic form of vitamin B12), and alpha GPC. As for the retail, distribution, and marketing strategy for AI Energy, Jack Owoc is going back to his VPX Sports roots by working with “nutrition and gym channel” distributors Europa Sports Partners and Muscle Foods USA. But beyond focusing on those small but influential sales channels for performance energy drinks, AI Energy will also build out an independent DSD network to service convenience stores and large retail accounts…with my assumption being that many will be previous partners that helped grow Bang Energy before the initial PepsiCo buyout. And then another strategy that Jack Owoc is planning to leverage from his previous Bang Energy success is that large roster of social media influencers. Yet, beyond a few of those strategic commercialization commonalities…you'll notice Jack Owoc has shifted from the “let's own everything” asset-heavy business model of Bang Energy to now an asset-light approach. But with a brand name like AI Energy…deploying AI in a manner that can condense operations, write distributor contracts, and/or design visual aspects would be aligned with its strategic narrative, right? But with that being said…my wonder surrounds why AI Energy would even work want to work with hundreds or thousands of social media influencers again anyways, especially when there's swarms of virtual influencers that are looking more like humans each day. Regardless of how that AI marketing strategy ultimately plays out…my guess is that many of you are wondering if I think AI Energy will be successful or not. And I'll explore that in this content...which has some intermingling with my thoughts around the race within the CPG industry to capture value from artificial intelligence.

More than 40,000 convenience store owners have spoken, and they shared some interesting takes surrounding the growing energy drinks category. And even if you aren't familiar with every insight regarding this beverage category, I'm sure you intuitively recognize that convenience is the most important sales channels for energy drinks in the U.S. market. But here are my top 3 biggest “categorical” takeaways from the recent Goldman Sachs Beverage Bytes survey. The first is a market reaction to decelerating volume growth, with most c-store owners expecting energy drink brands to increase promotional activity soon. The second is that c-stores, witnessing the insane CELSIUS growth story, are reducing soda and beer shelf space to increase room for energy drinks. And finally, Bang Energy is back baby! After more than a year of straight declines, Bang Energy grew mid-single-digits YoY.

Prior to the announcement of Mars' $36 billion acquisition of Kellanova, the hosts discussed the possibility of a major M&A deal, one that could create a domino effect for some CPG brands. They also opined on the future of NA bottle shops, munch on ramen-flavored snacks and sip on banana cream soda. Show notes: 0:35: Hoodie Jinx. Junk Food, Part Deux. Fung Wah. An Ambient Future. NA & THC. — It's clear that Mike and Ray dressed from the same closet, but neither is into granny thrifting. Ray shares limited-edition flavor of Jacqui's favorite childhood snack and promises to bring her a bag when the team meets up in San Diego next month, and the hosts chat about birthday cake flavor and reminisce about a defunct bus company. They also discuss Olipop's new line of shelf-stable sodas and Poppi's eye-popping marketing spend during the first four months of 2024, before chatting about the first two speakers announced for NOSH Live Winter 2024 and why the beverage industry is cheering for Sechey, but no so much for Boisson. Mike and John crack open a banana beverage and non-alcoholic tequila, respectively, before the former gives an update on his experience with THC gummies.

Is Bang Energy back baby…or is Monster Beverage CEO Rodney Sacks still dialing 1-900-Mix-A-Lot a year later looking for turnaround answers for the energy drink brand? Sticking with the recent theme from my previous Monster Beverage Corporation (NASDAQ: MNST) quarterly content, I'm going to focus a bulk of insights towards reconciling previous forward-looking statements that I've made about the Bang Energy turnaround strategy. But since Monster Beverage did just release their 2024 Q2 earnings report, I'll begin by analyzing those documents to obviously update you on how the existing brands within the Monster Beverage portfolio have been performing recently, but more importantly give context for my expanded strategic commentary on energy drink market dynamics and trends. Monster Beverage Corporation quarterly net sales was $1.9 billion (up 6.1% YoY on a constant currency basis). The largest segment of Monster Beverage (~92% of the total sales) is what they call “Monster Energy Drinks” even though it also includes Reign Total Body Fuel and Reign Storm, Bang Energy, and Monster Tour Water. Additionally, the next largest segment is known as “Strategic Brands,” which is a collection of conventional energy drinks that Monster picked up in the sort of “trade” with The Coca-Cola Company in June 2015. These include NOS and Full Throttle sold mostly in the NorAM market, and energy drink brand names like Burn, Predator, and Relentless that are sold globally. While I believe the energy drinks category has massive upside potential to continue growing…the near-term outlook is hazy. Firstly, categorical growth rates have slowed compared to the last handful of years. Moreover, a tighter consumer spending environment have been pressuring same-store sales at convenience channel retailers…which is the most important sales channel for energy drinks. And then Monster energy drink brands are facing opposition within the category at levels never seen before…as CELSIUS, C4 Energy, GHOST Energy, and Alani Nu continue to push hard. Finally, you have the YoY comparatives being thrown off because of the Bang Energy bankruptcy sales process that officially closed on July 31, 2023. But I'll examine the Bang Energy turnaround progress...looking through three strategic lenses: sales and distribution results by the Coca-Cola bottler system, product innovation pipeline, and branding and marketing efforts that could lift Bang Energy out of the Jack Owoc shadow. If you've looked at Bang Energy social media lately, many elements of this original “loud party vibes” lifestyle are still present...but there's one noticeable difference. Bang Energy and the streaming and content creator supergroup Any Means Possible (AMP) signed a strategic partnership that also makes the household name for Gen Z consumers the creative minds behind brand strategy. AMP is comprised of six members…with the most popular member being Kai Cenat, who's holds enough “attention” to shift culture. Finally, we can't talk Monster and Bang without some legal chatter, right?

Ready-to-mix (RTM) powder to ready-to-drink (RTD) liquid format expansion could very well become the dominant build model process amongst functional beverage entrepreneurs…though a recent hydration category example could be elemental in proving my strategic thesis correct. While I might be a bit biased considering my professional background, I believe the sports nutrition space has always been the “often imitated, never duplicated” influential epicenter of all ingestible CPG categories. But many years ago…when I said things like “the best and brightest sports nutrition brands could compete against any large CPG incumbent when it comes to functional food and beverage,” it got its fair share of laughs. But then the massive mainstream success of Bang Energy happened in the late-2010s…and suddenly, my early conviction around a non-consensus view began to not look so crazy. Moreover, it also consciously (or subconsciously) inspired many sports nutrition brand entrepreneurs to take the leap from powder supplements to beverage. And though it's several years behind the energy category's “changing of the guard,” the same “RTM powder to RTD liquid” strategic format expansion playbook is starting to pick up momentum within the hydration category. Yet, my “beverage identity crisis” thesis within the hydration category still needed that one “mega brand” example to really catapult it forward. What I didn't know at the time was that a month later, LMNT would announce on its social media that after two years in development, the brand would launch LMNT Sparkling Electrolyte Water, an RTD version of its extremely popular powdered stick pack hydration supplement. According to audited financial numbers filed with the SEC, LMNT generated just over $206 million in net sales for the 2023 calendar year (up 162% YoY). In terms of profitability, LMNT had gross margins of 56.7% in 2023. And I give them major kudos for the initial online launch strategy, but the sports drink market isn't won or lost over transactions on Shopify and/or Amazon. So, despite the perfectly controlled launch execution and online commercialization strategy…LMNT still needs to address its next big challenge within the packaged beverage commercialization gauntlet, expanding into large wholesale channels. Though by saying that, I'm not advocating that LMNT should go too-wide too-fast with that sales channel expansion. In fact, LMNT is sitting pretty right now…generating close to $42 million in net income last year. That means they can “fund” the digital-first beverage strategy and fail forward as they learn the offline retail sales and beverage distribution game. Similarly, LMNT has been frugal and scrappy in how it raised outside capital, which limits pressure to be aggressive for liquidity event timeline purposes. But saying all that…I think LMNT should consider a strategic investment from an industry leader that has the expertise and resources that can enable the brand to scale more effectively in this next format and channel diverse phase. Nutrabolt (owner of C4 Energy) wants to build the health and wellness version of Unilever. While some portfolio expansion might come from internal brand development, I believe most will happen because of accretive deal making and full-on acquisitions that extends Nutrabolt into more key consumer-driven wellness platforms. While Bloom Nutrition was Nutrabolt's first minority investment…it won't likely be its last, and maybe LMNT would be a great second act to get more exposure to the hydration category.

In today's functional CPG market, how would you categorize what is (or isn't) a beverage? There's a growing format expansion trend within key functional beverage categories that's causing most consumers to provide a widening variance in definitions. But the mainstreaming version of the “beverage identity crisis” was something I started talking more about publicly during the “Great Shutdown” period because there was this perfect storm of converging factors that provided an extra tailwind for this format expansion trend within key functional CPG categories. Yet, it's that reversed format expansion playbook direction of “ready-to-mix (RTM) powder to ready-to-drink (RTD) beverage” that I want to unpack some more for you. That's primarily because it could very well become the dominant build model process amongst functional CPG entrepreneurs…one that we will begin seeing play out repeatedly within other growing functional CPG categories, thus causing more “beverage identity crisis” scenarios in the future. The massive mainstream success of Bang Energy consciously (or subconsciously) inspired many sports nutrition brand entrepreneurs to take the leap from pre-workout powders to energy drinks. See…those tens (or hundreds) of millions in high-margin energy drink adjacent categorical retail sales were now seen as more than numbers in a spreadsheet or bank account, but members of an audience. And it's those powerful audiences that have become defensible competitive moats and valuable business assets for CPG brands. Admittedly, sports nutrition brands (like C4 Energy, GHOST, and Alani Nu) didn't invent the “build an audience first strategy,” but they've perfectly leveraged it by also operating within the shadows of harder to track sales channels like specialty and ecommerce…where they can incubate powdered pre-workout energy supplement platforms that can then be extended into the beverage format. And the proof is in today's retail sales data for just how disruptively successful this “build process” has become within the energy drinks market. And what should be even more scary (for at least categorical incumbents), is that below the Top 10 energy drink brands, there's many more strong powdered pre-workout energy supplement platforms that are in different phases of beverage commercialization strategies. Oh…and surprise-surprise, this “changing of the guard” isn't just isolated to the energy category. Albeit a few years behind, the same thing is starting to play out within the hydration category. Beyond energy and hydration, I'll also cover the last of the “Big 3” mainstream functional beverage categories because protein is a bit different. While sports drinks and energy drinks are several multiples larger in total market size compared to hydration and energy powdered supplements, ready-to-mix protein powders outsell RTD protein beverages when you consider the entire multichannel sales landscape. So, it probably begs the question…why don't we then see the highest number of “powder to liquid” format swapping sports nutrition brand disruptors in the protein category? I'll explore those differing barriers-to-entry considerations...but explain why 2024 and 2025 could end up being filled with impressive launches by sports nutrition brands “protein powder market leaders” that have strong audiences of loyal customers. Finally, I'll analyze three other functional CPG categories (greens, relaxation, and gut health) that each should see similar blurring of categorical definitions in the next handful of years.

Extremely limited Arnold x Stack3d tee unveiled, Black Market and MAN Sports make a powerhouse pre-workout, Ekkovision is bringing back Dethroner, Viking Power makes a supplement that can enhance appetite, Ghost reveals the Original flavor of its energy drink, and we spot the 12 flavors Bang Energy has been streamlined down to.
During the 15-year stretch from 2004 to midway through 2019, the top three brands within the U.S. energy drinks market went unchanged (e.g. Red Bull, Monster Energy, and Rockstar Energy). But then Bang Energy blasted past Rockstar Energy that summer with a staggering 700%+ YoY growth rate…ending the 2019 calendar year at around $1.2 billion in sales. This sent shockwaves across the packaged beverage space for many reasons, but I want to focus on a particular aspect of the “Bang Effect.” It's time we all give Bang Energy the respect it deserves for what the brand did in the late 2010s to totally disrupt the energy drinks market. A great tasting “carbonated water with sugar or sweetener, flavor, and caffeine” just wasn't going to be enough anymore…because energy without the “plus” had started looking boring to the market! Bang Energy put Energy+ on the map, which forced Monster and Rockstar into defensive product strategy mode, and at the same time conscious (or subconsciously) inspired many sports nutrition brand entrepreneurs to take the leap from pre-workout powders to energy drinks. While I might be a bit biased considering my professional background, I've always believed the best and brightest sports nutrition brands could compete against any large CPG incumbent when it comes to functional food and beverage. Even if they won't ever admit it publicly, large energy drinks incumbents are worried about the “often imitated, never duplicated” influential epicenter of the CPG industry…sports nutrition. Why? Well…it reminds me of something I said in a recent piece of content about the sports drinks market. Gatorade had been accustomed to fending off direct attacks from known competitors. However, what happens when the market leader must fend off a rapidly multiplying amount of legitimate indirect attacks from lesser-known competitors? Now…swap Gatorade for Red Bull and Monster Energy. What Red Bull and Monster Energy want is for new categorical entrepreneurs to follow existing energy drink category playbooks (that they created). Following that “build process” within today's energy drinks market is almost guaranteed to fail because traditional category leaders understand how to compete against it. But now…sports nutrition brands have started to change the game. And the proof is in the pudding for how disruptively successful this “build process” has become within the energy drinks market. If we took the top 10 energy drink brands in 2023, you'd have half that were in one way, or another incubated within the sports nutrition space (e.g. Celsius, GHOST, C4 Energy, Alani Nu, and Bang Energy). If we just take those five “incubated in sports nutrition” market leaders…they generated over $3.6 billion in retail sales in 2023. Finally, consider the strong list of powdered pre-workout energy supplement platforms that are below those Top 10 energy drink brands…and in different phases of beverage commercialization strategies. A collection of names like RYSE Fuel, Bucked Up Energy, G Fuel, Recon1 Energy, and Jocko Go…that's an aggregate of several hundred million more in energy drink retail sales. And I won't even go one more a layer deeper because you get the point here…as this “changing of the guard” within the energy drinks space is only getting started.

Duane Stanford and John Sicher recap and analyze the most intriguing and unexpected developments in beverages from 2023, including the great alcohol crossover, cannabis regulation, the creator economy, BodyArmor's journey, Bang Energy's fall and rebirth, surprising soda pricing results, and more. Companies covered include Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Keurig Dr Pepper, Athletic Brewing, Bang Energy, Prime Hydration, and many more.
Is there still some Bang left in Jack Owoc's fight for the company he founded? While the bulk of this content is going to be focused on reconciling what I previously predicted Monster Beverage would do with the Bang Energy asset to the actual turnaround strategy that Rodney Sacks (Monster Energy CEO) has been slowly providing details of within their quarterly earnings conference calls. And since Monster did just release their 2023 Q3 earnings report, I'll start this content off by running through some high-level financial data. This will obviously update you on how the existing brands within the Monster Beverage portfolio have been performing recently, but more importantly give context for my expanded strategic commentary on energy drink market dynamics and trends…plus it will make the Bang Energy information more relevant and impactful. Though the portfolio of Monster Beverage brands have a larger market share in the U.S. convenience channel than Red Bull, I'll bring up data that shows why the Bang Energy acquisition is maybe more important than you think when it comes to competing against CELSIUS, C4 Energy, and GHOST Energy. I'll also share information on many of the most important strategic gameplan elements that should help the Bang Energy expected turnaround opportunities become reality. These elements include: why Bang Energy is being distributed by the Coca-Cola DSD system, what those initial results were and Monster Energy sales strategy going forward, and why Monster Energy is cutting many Bang Energy flavors. Finally, we can't talk Monster and Bang without some legal chatter, right? We already know that on July 31, 2023…Monster Beverage Corporation completed its acquisition of Bang Energy. As you can imagine that deal clears up A LOT in the legal dispute area…but not everything.

It has been over six months since my last MusclePharm bankruptcy update, but don't misinterpret that silence as somehow indicating the court proceedings must have been good vibes only. If you followed my Bang Energy bankruptcy content, you know that process took around 260 days. But it was complex, involving creditor claims in the billion-dollar range…and had that infamous hostile takeover element to it! Surprisingly enough…the MusclePharm bankruptcy has taken even longer, though with far less in creditor claims. Why? Well…that likely could be pointed in the direction of the previous largest shareholder, CEO, and Chairman of MusclePharm, Ryan Dexler. Even though almost all secured and unsecured creditors agreed on the proposed path forward for liquidating the remaining assets and value of MusclePharm, Ryan Dexler took various legal actions against Empery Asset Management. And this is understandably so…as Ryan Dexler put many millions of his own capital into MusclePharm over the years. But within the Empery collateralized loan that got MusclePharm in this mess, there was a clause within the signed intercreditor/insubordination agreement that disallows Ryan Drexler the ability to file legal challenges. So, after the courts enforcement of that Empery document, and the its approval of the asset purchase and sale agreement for MusclePharm this past week...we might have a new strategic acquiror of the legacy sports nutrition brand. While there's still some details that need to be worked out before you see this information spread across the press release news wires, the strategic commentary in the latter part of this content will assume the “stalking horse bid” with FitLife Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTLF) works out. Moreover, I'll update you on the recent evolution within the brand portfolio and how that triggered a much needed sales channel diversification at FitLife Brands. Finally, I'll run through how Eric Hillman performed (in terms of financial metrics) over the last 10 months as MusclePharm CEO.

Bang Energy went from boom to bust within just five years. After mounting a successful challenge to the supremacy of Monster and Red Bull and capturing the attention of PepsiCo, Bang unraveled and went bankrupt. Now in the hands of archrival Monster and its distribution partner Coca-Cola, will Bang rise again? New challengers like Celsius may have something to say about that question.Duane Stanford invites regular Breeze contributor and industry expert John Sicher to discuss the recent wild and crazy days of energy drinks. They also unravel what happens next in this epic competition.
It's only been a week since Monster Beverage officially completed the acquisition, but leadership is finally unmuting itself about what's next for Bang Energy. While the bulk of this content is going to be focused on reconciling what I previously predicted Monster Beverage would do with the Bang Energy asset to the strategic gameplan that leadership at Monster Beverage started to disclose during the 2023 Q2 earnings conference call, I'll also start off this content off by running through some high-level financial data. This will obviously update you on how the existing brands within the Monster Beverage portfolio have been performing recently, but more importantly give context for my expanded strategic commentary on energy drink market dynamics and trends…plus it will make the Bang Energy information more relevant and impactful.

These are: why Bang Energy is being distributed by the Coca-Cola DSD system, why Monster Energy is cutting many Bang Energy flavors and products like VPX Redline, Bang Energy packaging and product positioning changes, and what legal battles are still active with Bang Energy founder Jack Owoc.

Most beverage industry veterans' thought was prediction was crazy months ago…but it looks like my super-secret Magic 8 Ball strikes again! Be honest...did you really believe my March 14, 2023 prediction that Monster Energy would eventually acquire the bankrupt assets of Bang Energy? But while I've already started to take my prediction victory lap, there's still a legal hurdle and many business unknowns left that I want to talk about in this Bang Energy bankruptcy update content. The final legal hurdle will be on July 12th, at which hearing the Debtors will seek Court approval of the sale of substantially all their assets to Blast Asset Acquisition LLC in accordance with the asset purchase agreement. But barring some outlier reason that would almost certainly cause an immediate liquidation of Bang Energy…Monster Beverage Corporation is the new owner of the company's intellectual property, goodwill, about $250 million in wholesale revenue producing DSD and retail relationships, everything involved with manufacturing and distribution facilities (even though some of that has been sold with or without a leaseback agreement), an owned DSD network (but from what I've heard…Huron Consulting recently cut that), and then human capital. So, what's next? Well…little is known about what Monster will do with Bang, but the most UNLIKELY scenario would be Monster deciding to shut down the brand, effectively removing a competitor from the marketplace. While Monster Beverage and Monster Energy are used interchangeably sometimes…we can't forget that Monster Beverage is a collection of many energy drink brands. Monster Energy is obviously the biggest, but they also own a collection of conventional global energy drinks that it picked up in the “trade” with The Coca-Cola Company that closed in June 2015. These brands include NOS and Full Throttle in the U.S. market, and names like Burn and Relentless that are used globally. I state this because it shows that Monster is willing to have a collection of similar products in each of the same global markets. That means Monster Beverage should be familiar with the strategies and tactics needed to support both its Reign Total Body performance energy drink brand and Bang Energy that created the energy drink sub-category. This performance energy drink market consolidation play is important because Monster is struggling to fend off upstart brands like GHOST, C4 Energy, RYSE, Alani Nu, and CELSIUS. So, I think positioning-wise…Monster uses Bang Energy as a low-cost performance energy drink offering to prop up price integrity and brand equity around its Reign Total Body brand. There's also a question of distribution…does Bang Energy move into Coca-Cola DSD trucks or does Monster separate it out and utilize independent DSD networks? But the rise and fall of Bang Energy will certainly be a story that Harvard Business School will try to distill down into a case study for learning purposes. I've covered many bankruptcies over the last handful of years, but this one is about as unique as we will ever experience. I say that because the craziness in every aspect of life since 2020 has desensitized us to what is or isn't an outlier. The Bang Energy story is an outlier in both the extreme entrepreneurial ups and the extreme business lows…both you can learn from.

If you ain't delaying…are you really Chapter 11 bankruptcy auction banging? Believe it or not…it's been something like 250 days since Bang Energy filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. That might seem like a long time, but Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, especially complex ones involving creditor claims in the billion-dollar range, are not quick…and that doesn't consider the hostile takeover element that's relatively unique here. But this isn't a piece of content about how the Bang Energy bankruptcy proceedings have amounted to almost 1500 document filings that equal 10s of thousands of total pages…thus likely making this one of the most expensive cases in Florida bankruptcy court history. Instead, I want to focus on the recent delays to the bankruptcy auction announcement. To be honest, it's hard to keep up on how many delays they've had, but it's probably up to four or five at this point. Now…there are two schools of thought on why this has been happening. The first one revolves around the theory that Bang Energy was such an attractive asset that the initial bankruptcy auction was filled with many strong and diverse bids. And so, to make the best decision for creditors, it would require a longer review period. That makes sense, right? But what if the most recent delay is due to an outside regulatory agency...which can only mean that my original prediction in mid-March that Monster Energy would acquire Bang Energy (https://youtu.be/Kr_PMyydlCw) is still alive. Because something I hadn't noted in earlier content was the potential regulatory hurdle that Monster Energy would face because of its leadership position in the U.S. energy drinks market. Finally, I'll talk through a few hypothetical scenarios based on what would happen next if each of the different diverse categories of acquirors won the Bang Energy bankruptcy auction.

Pivotal is an interview-style segment that tackles topics in consumer packaged goods (CPG) and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) from the business leaders that live it EVERY DAY! Now, I don't want to oversell this special edition episode, but it's kind of a big deal. It would have been a big episode even during good times but consider the collective facts…I spoke with the founder and recently ousted CEO of Bang Energy Jack Owoc…at a time when the initial stalking horse bids were happening in that Chapter 11 bankruptcy auction and when his social media accounts have been taken away. Our conversation weaves in and out of a variety of impactful and insightful subject matter that includes who Jack thinks will acquire the company he founded and the reasoning behind it. Since Jack is locked out of company matters, he doesn't have any insider knowledge…and neither do I…so any of these predictions were offered up for entertainment purposes only.

The Chapter 11 bankruptcy era of the beverage empire that Jack Owoc built has been wild. A LOT more has happened since I uploaded my last major Bang Energy bankruptcy explained update in mid-March (https://youtu.be/Kr_PMyydlCw). But that probably shouldn't surprise you at this point, right? If you remember, I stuck my neck on the line and said that Monster Energy would end up acquiring its hated rival Bang Energy. Well...a few weeks later a well-respected equity analyst at Stifel put out a research note that stated Monster Energy was the best-positioned to acquire Bang Energy. His logic for that prediction almost exactly paralleled mine. This third piece of content in the Bang Energy bankruptcy series will update you on the revenue decline at the energy drink brand. It will also discuss the Bang Energy CEO Instagram handle drama that could be best described as his brash personality leading to a very public counterattack to the hostile takeover of the company he founded. Even Jack Owoc tagging me in those Bang Energy posts and reading each of them…it wasn't until putting together some notes for this content that it struck me how desensitized I had become to this Bang Energy bankruptcy circus.I've covered many industry bankruptcies over the last handful of years and this one is about as unique as we will ever experience. And just to add more shit on to the pile…we can't forget that Monster Energy just won another judgement against Bang in the 'Super Creatine' false advertising case.

A LOT has happened since the parent company of Bang Energy filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on October 10, 2022. If you checked out my previous comprehensive “Bang Energy Bankruptcy Explained” content about five months ago, you've likely been wondering what's going on at the beverage empire that Jack Owoc built. Well…I've been watching everything closely and read most of those 1000+ court documents, that amounted to thousands of pages, in hopes that I can provide a comprehensive update on the Bang Energy bankruptcy case and breakdown what everything ultimately means for the company and the entire energy drinks market. Firstly, this is a highly contested bankruptcy case that involves A LOT of egos, emotions, and energy drink competitors being among Bang Energy's largest creditors. Secondly, you have many factors at play that is causing the revenue to decline sharply at Bang Energy, including a DSD distribution swap away from PepsiCo, false advertising case with Monster Energy that's causing a packaging changeover, large retailers delisting or deprioritizing Bang Energy for upstarts like GHOST Energy, C4 Energy, RYSE, Alani Nu, and CELSIUS energy drinks, and then Huron Consulting Group implementing a cost optimization plan that put in motion that included a large SKU rationalization, a commercial real estate sale and leaseback strategy, and cuts to marketing spend…just to name some of the actions. Thirdly, Jack Owoc started seeing the writing on the wall and with not many viable options left to save Vital Pharmaceuticals (VPX Sports) that he birthed 30 years ago, Jack Owoc leaked the potential Bang Energy IPO. Next, Bang Energy put out a press release that says the board of directors “acknowledge Jack Owoc's vision in founding this leading brand and creating a world-class product in the energy drink category,” but he has been relieved of his CEO and Chairman of the Board duties. We are now in a full-on hostile takeover situation after I assume Jack Owoc went nuclear when he realized that his most hated rival Monster Energy could very well acquire Bang Energy. I'll explain why I believe Monster Energy would want to acquire Bang Energy, but also consider a few other options with the bankruptcy auction scheduled for April 27th, 2023.

Its outlandish health claims had everyone jumping at the opportunity to try a can, hoping it could improve their exercise capabilities and brain function. Sold by one of the most eccentric owners the world has ever seen, Bang quickly became a cultural phenomenon. But, their overwhelming success would prove short-lived when they ran headfirst into an insurmountable amount of lawsuits. By the end, it was just too much for them to handle, now, the company is holding on by a string.

Jack Owoc, CEO and Owner of Bang Energy, shares his insights on the strategies that he's used to build one of the world's top energy drink brands. Owoc and host of #ThePlaybook, David Meltzer, discuss why Jack attributes a lot of his success to not reading books, how to avoid letting technology limitations hold your company back, and why some believe that Bang is “the #1 most dominant company on social media right now”. The pair also chat about why all leaders will fail if they are unwilling to “transition away from selfishness”, as well as why Jack is never afraid about being sued by competitors.
