Talk:Burn (energy drink)

Opening comment

This page ought to be deleted.

I tend to agree, there are some things that could be done to the article, specifically I would like to know how the 400mg of caffeine was calculated. I'm getting 250ml/100*0.015 * 1.2g*cm^-3=45mg (which isn't alot really). For comparison, a Red Bull has 80mg/250mL, and according to Caffeine, intake in excess of 300mg can result in caffein intoxication. I'm not going to edit the article myself, as I'd rather like some input from others. In short, we need sources on the article, and I'm going to place a tag on it in a week or so, if no sources have been added. Stefan Jensen (talk) 14:24, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I've put a tag on, not really sure what to do from here. Would my calculations be original research? This article needs more input, it is of very poor quality as is. Stefan Jensen (talk) 08:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I have a can of burn, just in front of me (just drunk it out), from Spain and it indicates 32mg of caffeine per 100 ml, that is 80mg per 250ml (aprox 8.3 US liq. oz.).

It seems that the formula is absolutely dependent on country.

And about caffeine intoxication, I'm not so sure, last weekend I consumed 6 cans of Red Bull, that should be 480mg, far away from 300mg that says cause intoxication. ???

Aside the levels of caffeine per can, I think the data about caffeine is from Source Burn and not Coca-Cola Burn (I guess they're different drinks). Felve (talk) 03:02, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I have a can of Coca Cola burn in front of me right now. 80mg per 250ml can. I am removing accuracy because of this.8.23.62.106 (talk) 15:42, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Most of the content of the article seems to be nothing more than a corporate spiel for the products, with more emphasis on product placement in sports, movies, used by celebrities etc. I added the WP:POV tag. I don't think the article necessarily needs to be deleted, just massively edited, with all the corporate style, salesperson like language and/or sections removed - such as the empty "Activity and Brand Ambassadors" section. Most of this article would make a great brochure for Burn Energy! 5.56.31.175 (talk) 19:54, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Origin and launch year?

There's something weird about this energy drink. I clearly remember seeing it around the year 2000 in Argentina, though it's not listed as sold in Argentina in the Coca-Cola web site. I also remember reading something about the "Burn" brand being a co-development between an Argentinian marketing agency and Coca-Cola, though I can not remember the name of the agency. The brand was launched surrounded in secrecy around the year 2000 in the UK (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/1046034.stm), but it flopped. It was popular in Spain, so apparently that popularity encouraged Coca-Cola to re-launch it in Europe. But most of the information regarding this drink seems like "hidden".

Right year, wrong country. My branding agency, Asprey Creative, developed Burn in Australia in 2000 as part of a range of energy drinks based on the elements earth, wind, fire and water. Each one was aimed at a specific time and need state throughout a big night out. Only Burn was progressed, and despite being lavishly printed with UV-sensitive inks for nightclub consumption, was launched into convenience stores by Coca Cola Australia. It promptly failed but was picked up internationally, properly marketed, and went nuts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.127.116.170 (talk) 05:09, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

I still have all our development work.
