I have come across two different forms of V drink.
One is labeled "dietary supplement drink" and the other "Energy drink" (although the latter also has "Dietary Supplement" on
the label). As far as I can tell the only difference is that in it's Energy Drink Guise V contains caffeine while the
other does without.
For those who couldn't be bothered reading the ingredients off the back of the can I have included the visible
differences between the two:
On the front:
- Caffeine V (cV) has the phrase Invigorate body and mind at the top of the label, non caffeine V (ncV) says
Vitalise body and mind.
- On the cV label the V graphic has a green shadow while the ncV graphic has a silver one.
- The explosion type graphic behind the V is yellow and green on the cV can. On the ncV can it is just yellow
(because of this the tm characters have been moved about 2mm higher on the cV
can).
On the back:
- The cV can has black text at the top and a black elipse with silver text. The ncV can has red text at the top and a
silver elipse also containing red text.
- The cV can has a table of nutritional information while the ncV can has consumer information which is
essentially just the ingredients (this is not in table form).
NB There are also minor differences between the product descriptions on the back but you are unlikely to notice these
unless you read the whole lot.
Consumer information(taken straight from the can)
V contains
Carbonated water, Sucrose, Acidity regulators
(Citric acid, Sodium citrate), Taurine, Guarana
extract (0.12%), Glucuronolactone, Caffeine
(0.02%), Caramel colour, Inositol, Flavours,
Vitamins (Niacin 8mg/100ml, Pantothenic acid
2mg/100ml, B6 2mg/100ml, B2 0.6mg/100ml, B12
2µg/100ml)
Of course, the ncV can does not containe the word
Caffeine.
NB This applies to Australia, I cannot guarantee that it will apply to other countries/regions.
