Technic

Technic (Japanese: テクニック; Tekunikku) is a energy drink brewed by Technic Drinks, Inc., an El Kadsre-based beverage manufacturer. Launched in 1973, it has the first market share to any energy drink in the world with Red Bull being the second. Its marketing has often included characters from the popular franchise Technic Heroes, an El Kadsreian kadsresatsu series created by El TV Kadsre in 1976, with Technic often doing cross-promotions whenever a Technic Heroes film installment is showing in cinemas.

History
Technic, which was deemed to be the first modern energy drink, was invented by Sukeyuki Osaki in 1971, and introduced in 1973 in the Vlokozu Union. In 1974, a year after Technic's introduction, Technic bought Panchi Co., in which was merged into Technic Drinks Inc and on the same year, Technic expanded to international markets after seeing the success of Pepsi, Schweppes, Technic, Panchi, .35 Whelen, 7-UP, Mountain Dew and Lipton in the Vlokozu Union.

In 1976, Technic and El TV Kadsre launched the long-running tokusatsu franchise, known as Technic Heroes. In the same year, the drink was introduced to Helvmark, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Australia, New Zealand and Japan and was introduced to the United States, West Germany (now Germany), Belgium, Philippines, Canada, Barokia, Thailand, India, and Switzerland in 1980 and was introduced to Jetania and Kuboia in 1989.

In 1976, Technic won the New Beverage award from the Association Internationale des Boissons Non-Alcoolisées, and would later win their Sports Drink of the Year award in 1980.

In 1999, to coincide with the launch of Technic Heroes ' sister franchise TH2, Technic launched a spin-off drink of Technic, T2, marketed as a "Power Drink" with double the amount of caffeine as regular Technic. T2 was heavily cross-promoted with various sports sponsorship, including being the original sponsor of X Games EKANI and a shirt sponsor for El Kadsreian Premier League club El Kadsre City F.C., in addition to sponsoring TH2.

Ingredients
Technic contains 100 milograms of caffeine, taurine, B vitamins (B3, B5, B6, B12), sucrose, food acid, glucose and kuzesi juice. Kuzesi is a Vicnoran-native fruit often found in Vicnoran forests and jungles.
