Howling Monkey Energy Drink
A new energy drink called “Howling Monkey” has been spotted (in the wild so to speak). The people behind the drink - McKenzie River Corporation - are releasing this one under the radar. They are adopting 100% viral marketing by making mysterious appearances and giving away free samples.

There is virtually nothing about this drink anywhere and the website tells us virtually nothing. It’s all part of the mystique and I’ve fallen into the trap by blogging about it.
Nonetheless the drink appears to have an unusual ingredient - quinine. This is found only in soda water tonic water (sorry - my bad). There also seems to be a second formulation that is an energy cola.
No word on caffeine content either.
McKenzie usually produce beers - some may remember Sparks - their caffeinated ale.
UPDATE: We have some more details on the ingredients in Howling Monkey.

i’ve been drinking howling monkeys for a while now and i personally love them. they taste great and you cant beat the pricing. but i only know of 2 little stores in my area that sell them an i’ve heard that they have been discontinued!!?? i was trying to find out if that’s it completely? or will i be able to find them online to purchase?? i dont want to spend time trying to find another drink that i like, i’d love to find out how i can get ahold of some howling monkeys so if anyone can let me know…i’d appreciate it.
I’m in Western Michigan and I was told today at a gas station that they are being discontinued. They were even sold out of them already and not getting any more in at one gas station. Another gas station I asked didn’t know anything about it, but I bought 15 of them just in case.
um no word on caffine content? how bout the huge label on top that says caffine charged? durr okay george.
their official website doesn’t say anything about them being discontinued.. you’d think they’d mention it up there, if anywhere!
anyone know of any online place that sells these? i know of one 7-11 that’s a bitch to get to that actually stocks there. everywhere i go i ask if they have howling monkey and they always give me weird looks.. it’s seriously easier to get some coke than this stuff!

Can anyone tell me where howling monkeys are sold at??
Hi there I recently saw an advertisment in a local store for the Howling Monkey Energy Cola and was wondering if anyone could help me find out where I can get one of those posters. Any help in greatly apreciated. Thanks…Chris.L
I’m a howling monkey addict, LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Don’t discontinue my monkey, advertise it! The people that like it Really like it. I am running out of options. I know about 20 stores that had it here in San Diego but all are sold out.Whoever makes Howling Monkey should hire an advertising firm to make a commercial! The monkey on that can is a star waiting to be born. If the owners are to incompetent to make money with it a real company should buy it and use it, just look at the blogs! Make stickers, T-shirts, and bobbleheads you jackasses!
I would like to get a howling monkey poster does anone know how to get one?
I live in Orange County California. I have looked everywhere for this drink so I can try it. Hell, I have scoured the internet too! I cannot find this stuff. Can anyone help? Please don’t leave your email address and offer to sell it to me. I want to find an actual retailer of some kind.
I would appreciate a name And e-mail address of the powers to be in the New Product And Developement department Thank You
