New Alani Nu Energy Drink Flavor Declared 'the Best' by Fans
A new flavor of the popular energy drink Alani Nu appears to be heading to stores.
Several trusted food bloggers got word that the health and wellness brand would launch a sweet, summer fair-inspired flavor of energy drinks similar to a sparkling water variety it offered a few years ago, and now that rumored new flavor looks to have been spotted in stores already.
Reputable grocery news influencers Markie_devo and SodaSeekers recently reported that Alani Nu Cotton Candy would launch sometime before the summer season, with an exact release date unknown.

While the foodies uncovered some product images, an eagle-eyed shopper one-upped them, discovering the new item in person on pallets at their local Costco. They snapped a pic and shared it online, noting in the caption of the May 10 Reddit post that they found it at the wholesale Canada.
According to the food bloggers, the new Alani Nu variety isn't expected to be exclusive to any one retailer, and like the other flavors in its subline, it is presumed to contain no sugar and 200 mg of caffeine.
That said, the photo uploaded by the Redditor displayed a caffeine content of only 140mg, slightly less than the other 12-ounce cans currently on shelves and available online in the U.S. Whether that's subjective to the market or the flavor currently remains unclear.
A rep for Alani Nu did not immediately reply to Parade's request for comment.

Whatever the case may be, fans are certainly excited, with an overwhelming number of comments on social media gushing over the new release.
"Okay I'm excited to try this but please do NOT get rid of sherbet swirl!!" one declared.
"This is already out in Canada," another reiterated, "has been for easily a week and it's by far the best!!!"
"Oooo," a third added, "will it be better than Bang cotton candy because it's my favorite of all time."
"Omg that packaging alone will get me to buy one😍🩷🤍🩷🤍," someone else teased.
"Yes I was waiting for them to come out with something like this 🔥🔥," one more praised.
But with no official announcement from the brand just yet, fans in the U.S. will just have to patiently wait (or drive across the border, as one Instagram user already claimed to have done) to try it.
