In addition, participants will be able to enter the program online by uploading photographs of themselves showing their Boo Koo cans.

David Hayes, president of sales and marketing, said in announcing the promotion, "Here is a chance for consumers in the Coke Consolidated and Coke United territory to get energized, get recognized, and win big! We’re very excited about working with Coke Consolidated and Coke United and joining forces to promote Boo Koo as the next alternative in energy drinks by providing more energy, better tasting products that helps people be their best."

Soon thereafter, a compact, super-concentrated 5.75-ounce can, BooKoo SHOT, was introduced to consumers in search of a quick boost of energy without the bulk.
