Talk:Vault (drink)

message: Shouldn't the article be called VAULT in all caps?
According to Coca-Cola's brand list on their site (http://www2.coca-cola.com/brands/brandlist.html ), it's not all caps. Mhking 17:05, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Everywhere I've seen them, 20 oz bottles of Vault are 2 for a dollar; half the cost of any other soft drink I know of. If the price of Vault is the same everywhere as it is here, it should be added to the article as it is a very notable characteristic of the product. Xyzyxx 21:58, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That would have to get a lot more research before going out in the article.  In Virginia, 20-ounce bottles of Vault are at or just slightly below the retail price of regular Coke.  Lowest I've seen is 88¢, where regular Coke is $1.10.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:20, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is most likely due to the fact that it's a new product. Soft drink companies ALWAYS do this, as a way to get consumers hooked on their new drink (and it worked on me :P). The Kids Aren't Alright 03:10, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I paid $1.46 (including state sales tax) for a 20-ounce bottle of it last week. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 03:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I just bought a 20 oz. today for 91 cents (after tax).--KrossTalk 22:47, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I bought a 6-pack of 12 oz cans at Walmart the other day for $1.25, making it pennies an ounce. They sure will have me addicted. I need to go back and buy more. --Crypticgeek 05:09, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

text: My local Meijer is selling 20oz bottles for 50 cents apiece.--Bedford 11:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Before tax, a 20oz. bottle of Vault cost US$1.10 at Publix, the same as a 20oz. bottle of Coke or any other soda.—thegreentrilby 00:41, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Make that US$1.20. I forgot that 20oz. bottles had risen from 99¢ to $1.10 and, just recently, to $1.20.—thegreentrilby 13:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Incredible... I saw 20 oz bottles of VAULT Zero marked down to FIVE FOR A DOLLAR yesterday. What's going on? Xyzyxx 20:46, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They must realize Vault Zero tastes like death. I doubt Vault Zero is selling very well, mainly due to who Vault is being markted towards. The Kids Aren't Alright 00:53, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Please stay on topic 

message: Recently, there have been reports published about benzene in soft drinks, especially those that are orange or citris flavored.  The concering ingredianats are sodium benzoate, and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).  Valut conatains soduium benzoate and erythorbic acid, a stereoisomer of ascorbic acid.  High amounts of Vitamin C are in orange juice of which concentrated orange juice is another key ingreediant in Vault.  The combination of these ingrediants could create benzene, a very aggressive carcinogen even in small amounts!
Could the Coca-Cola Company be distributing a toxic soft drink?  It is imperative for the FDA to be honest, something they have been far from lately. --Bushido Hacks 03:54, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Erythorbic Acid, Sodium Benzonate, and Concetrated O.J. 

message: As it turns out, this is not a significant health threat.  Doing a little bit more research Vault is safe to drink.  Benzene is in the air and food in trace ammounts.  It is an inert molecule.  Sorry for the panic.  Blame TV news. --Bushido Hacks 04:26, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Follow Up 

message: The press release cited mentions a farmer, but that's about it as far as the article's claims and the pres release match.  That's why I've reverted it now for the second time.  Please don't re-add these passages unless you can substantiate more of the claims.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:54, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In this case, we have the wrong URL for that cite and need to fix it.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 20:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I went ahead and fixed it, and also moved it into the article itself.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

message: the part with the commercial is pointless, as wikipedia does not feature commercial information on every product. Perhaps we could add a part describing their marketing campaign, (drinking vault makes you do great things) Pacman 23:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  The detailing of the ad campaign is pointless, and I'm glad to see it go.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Commercial

message: When a product is basically defined by its memorable commercials and advertisements, they become an important part of the product's history. 
Example 1: Red Stripe Beer. The page includes a paragraph relating to their recent advertisements and even a picture from one of their television commercials. We're talking about a drink that is 30 years old, and the advertisements are mentioned right along with appearances in TV shows, movies, songs, and books.
Example 2: Sprite (soft drink). Now we're talking about a drink that has been with us for over 40 years. And right in there is talk of its recent "Sublymonal" advertising.
Example 3: Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch). Mention of its radio advertisements, including a link to a complete list of all of them, plus "Bud" "Weis" "Er" and "Whassup" information. If it's part of what the product is, it's in there.
My point is that these are all obviously older, well-known drinks who still include advertising and commercials as part of their wikipedia entries. Vault is an extremely new drink (less than half a year in existence), and the only way people have heard about it has been through its commericals and advertising, mos popular of which are the inventive commercials. I remember when they played the full-length scarecrow one before a movie I was at a couple months ago, the entire audience clapped and cheered after the commercial.
What defines this new drink is its image, and what defines its image are inventive commercials involving people making backyards into football fields and scraps of metal into killer robots. I will be adding back in commercial information.--Tflynn17 16:45, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: What constitutes Vault as an energy drink? 67.188.172.165 21:42, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I'm sitting here drinking a bottle (of Vault Berry Blitz) right now. A quick look at it's ingredients listing shows two items that (at least in my book) make it qualify as an energy drink: caffeine and guarana extract. Now, before anyone cries foul, I know the guarana extract isn't in the green version. But all it needs is caffeine, which in itself, is a very powerful stimulant. SSaint04 23:42, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
