It's not I was at the show and happen to be at the booth and meet the guy form Canada. He also has a lot of other licensed brands in Canada and sells into over 5,000 stores in Canada. He test it in like 200 stores during the soft launch. In 2015 he will be launching it into 7-11 and other chains in Canada is what he told them at the booth that he already has space coming in that category and will launch it into lots of stores in Canada. He was at the booth on Wens for about an hour the first day I was their and I actually met him. He is also doing the c-store show in Calgary for the brand. The show actually starts today. http://calgary.convenienceu.ca/ He is a very good size player in Canada and he said the brand sold out very fast in Canada. Because Canada is much stricter on Caffeine this brand will get tons of placement all over the country.

Thanks James but as Lux pointed out RAGE is pretty much kaput, that article is a few years old, they didn't get much further than being named in an article, they sold pretty much NIL of HJOE
LUX what is the name of this Cannadian distributed? You claim its established good size, who? New article states it will roll out late 2014, spring 2015, ( sound familiar?)
There is no Canadian soft launch.
CANADA does not have any diff rules towards caffeine in drinks than the US, Health Cpanada states to much isn't good, use caution in young peeps and pregnant, same as US
They have several non caffeine energy drinks/shots already, it isn't a revolutionary idea. There is a group pushing to have energy drinks to minors being regulated, I'm unsure why you think Canada and no-onecaffeine is such a novelty? It isn't. The 5000 stores lined up to sell from in Canada at least isn't as far fetched as the 8500 stores they had lined up in Japan. Same stuff, might be, could be, wanna be.......still can't get financers, there is a reason for that
