Red Rooster is a mixed fruit flavour energy drink brand aimed at the same market sector as Red Bull. It is packaged in slim 250 ml (8.8 imp fl oz; 8.5 US fl oz) cans or in 1 litre (35.2 imp fl oz; 33.8 US fl oz) bottles. It is available for purchase in the United Kingdom (UK) in Morrisons, Iceland, Total S.A., Farmfoods, Asda and the Co-op UK, in Mace, Dunnes Stores in Ireland, and in Match supermarkets in Hungary. Asda originally launched it under the in-house brand name of Blue Charge.

Cott's 24, The Series is the name given to the 440 and 500 ml (15.5 and 17.6 imp fl oz; 14.9 and 16.9 US fl oz) can version of the product. It is sold mostly in UK discount stores. The name of the drink comes from the American television series 24. The drink's advertising slogan is "Every second counts!", which ties into the real-time nature of the television series. It is formulated with 32 milligrams (0.0011 oz) of caffeine per 100 millilitres (3.5 imp fl oz; 3.4 US fl oz). A diet version is now being introduced in some UK stores.

Blue Charge is the brand name of an energy drink, produced in the UK by Cott for Asda as an alternative to such products as Red Bull and Powerade. Marketed as an energy drink to combat mental and physical fatigue, it contains, per 250 ml (8.3 U.S. fl. oz.) serving, about 27 g of sugar (glucose, sucrose), 1000 mg of taurine, 600 mg of glucuronolactone, B-complex vitamins and 80 mg of caffeine. The caffeine in one serving is less than that found in an average cup of coffee (typically 100 mg/250 ml cup) or twice as much as found in a can of Coke (40 mg/330-ml can) - around 80 mg per can. A diet version has been available since the beginning of 2003. Diet Blue Charge is sweetened with aspartame, as opposed to sucrose and glucose, as found in original Blue Charge. The drink is described as tasting of 'fruit flavours' and an alternative cranberry flavour is available. It is commonly used by the British youth and student culture as mixer in alcoholic drinks, such as with vodka. The ingredients in Blue Charge, similar to those used in Red Bull, are: carbonated water, sugar, glucose-fructose syrup, citric acid, taurine (0.4%), natural flavourings, acidity regulator (sodium citrates), fruit and vegetable concentrates (apple, carrot, hibiscus), glucuronolactone, caffeine, inositol, vitamins (niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, riboflavin, vitamin B12), preservative (potassium sorbate). The drink has a high caffeine content (30mg/100ml).

Cola is a carbonated cola-flavored soft drink produced by Cott's Tampa, FL plant and sold in some Wal-Mart stores.

Most products produced by Cott are certified Kosher. Any certified product in the US or Canada carries a kosher symbol on the label.

Famous quotes containing the word products:

    Isn’t it odd that networks accept billions of dollars from advertisers to teach people to use products and then proclaim that children aren’t learning about violence from their steady diet of it on television!
    Toni Liebman (20th century)

    All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.
    Dixie Lee Ray (b. 1924)
