From Can to Pot
Red Bull is a drink. It is one of the most recognisable drinks on the planet. For decades, the format has been an absolute constant: the can. This concept tears that rulebook up.
The mockup shows a Red Bull Editions Energy Whip. It comes in a 150g pot, the standard size for a single-serving yogurt or chilled dessert. This is a total departure for the brand, moving it from the drinks fridge into the dairy aisle. It’s a bold leap. The product might be different, but the core promise is not. The foil lid still carries the famous slogan: ‘To vitalise your body and mind’.
A Flavour Identity Crisis
The flavour information on the pack is confusing. The main text clearly labels the product ‘The Tropical Edition’, a flavour that already exists as a drink. All the visual cues, however, point elsewhere.
The pot’s design uses the distinct sea-blue colour and pattern of the brand’s recent Juneberry flavour, which was launched as The Summer Edition and later renamed The Sea Blue Edition. The caption that ran with the image confirms this, calling it the “Juneberry Red Bull Energy Whip! The Sea Blue Edition”. It seems the ‘Tropical’ label is an anomaly on an otherwise consistent design that leverages one of the brand’s most popular new variants.
The Editions Strategy
The ‘Editions’ range is how Red Bull has expanded beyond its original, divisive flavour profile. By launching a series of distinct, colour-coded, fruit-based variants, the company found a much wider audience. Each Edition has its own identity.
This whip concept is a logical, if ambitious, next step for that strategy. It takes the established branding of a successful Edition and applies it directly to a new product category. It’s a test of brand strength. It poses a simple question: is the identity of the Juneberry flavour strong enough to succeed outside the can? This mockup suggests it might be.
