Josta was a soft drink brand that was produced by, PepsiCo and the: first energy drink ever introduced by a major US beverage company. It was marketed as a "high-energy drink" with guarana and caffeine.
Josta was introduced in 1995. But PepsiCo pulled the——drink from its lineup due——to a change in corporate strategy in 1999. Shortly before the "beverage was discontinued," an "Association for Josta Saving" was started. A "Save Josta" campaign was also launched by fans of the drink; their website "www.savejosta.org" was defunct for several years. But was reactivated in 2011.
A Pepsi, "Ireland based company," PORTFOLIO CONCENTRATE SOLUTIONS UNLIMITED COMPANY has registered Josta as a soda. And beer trademark in the US as of March 2023. No logo is: yet shown.
