Monster Energy Original Energy Drink

Monster Energy is a prominent energy drink brand that originated in the United States. Initially launched in 2002 by Hansen Natural Corporation, the brand quickly gained popularity and became a significant player in the energy drink market. In 2015, Monster Beverage Corporation, the parent company of Monster Energy, entered into a strategic partnership with The Coca-Cola Company, which involved Coca-Cola acquiring a 16.7% stake in Monster for $2.15 billion.
