Our test sample of 5 men and 5 women between the age of 30 to 40 in Mumbai reported that they felt more ‘energetic’ after consuming “Sting” and “Charged” by Thums Up failed to charge their batteries.

“It’s a refreshing drink no doubt, but when it comes to sheer energy and a energetic feeling,” Sting from Pepsico seems to win hands down, said journalist and publicist Flynn Remedios who was part of the test group.

We are continuing our “tests” with more volunteers to see which of the two drinks provide a better “energetic feel”… watch this space for more.
