AMP Energy

AMP Energy is a energy drink brand produced and owned by PepsiCo. At its inception in 2001, AMP Energy was initially distributed under the Mountain Dew soft drink brand. Since 2009, it has been produced and labeled under its own stand-alone trademark name. The beverage is noted for its energizing effects, which are attributed to the presence of caffeine, B vitamins, and taurine.

History

AMP Energy was introduced in 2001 as part of the Mountain Dew product line. The initial product was named "AMP Energy Drink" and was positioned as a flavor extension of the Mountain Dew brand. In 2008, the label design was updated to make the AMP logo more prominent than the Mountain Dew logo. The following year, PepsiCo decided to further distinguish AMP Energy from Mountain Dew by giving it its own unique branding.
