**Drank** is a unique beverage product on the market that is actually being called an "anti-energy drink." Despite the rising popularity in caffeinated products, from soda to chips ([seriously](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caffeinated-chips-engobi)), Drank tackles the opposite extreme, acting is the go-to beverage for those needing to unwind.

Although the grape flavoured pop probably tastes like children's chewable Tylenol, its ingredient list sounds like it's a promising solution to heart-palpitation and jitters. Infused with melatonin as well as rose hips and valerian root, the purple-canned beverage is catching on with mellow-seekers in the the southern U.S.

The name is derived from a prescription-strength, [purple cough syrup mixture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purpleberry-punch), consumed by members of hip-hop communities seeking a buzz from the codeine and promethazine. It's also known as *sizzurp* and *purple jelly*.
