3D Energy added 'Juicy Apple,' a non-carbonated energy drink that swaps the brand's usual fizz for a flat pour while keeping its sugar-free formula and 200 mg of caffeine. The apple flavor gives buyers a fruit-led option that delivers the same caffeine hit without bubbles.
The drink is sold in cases of 12 on Amazon for $25.99, making it a stock-up buy instead of a single-can grab. Juicy Apple also broadens a menu that has already moved into spicy and dessert-inspired flavors, but here the focus stays on a cleaner, simpler profile.
$25.99 for 12 cans frames the release as a value case for online energy-drink shoppers. A flat apple option widens the category for people who want function without carbonation, and it gives 3D Energy another distinct point of difference in a crowded shelf set.
