Another 'don't forget, you're buying the company' spiel

 

Being in my mid thirties, I'm not what you would consider part of the target audience for V, and my assumption is that with you imbibing the odd Guinness or two that you are also not swayed by the pretty colours/marketing etc.

 

However, for us of the mature generation, next time you have that one too many, and wake up the next morning feeling you need to shave your tongue and swearing never to do it again, cajole the missus into whipping out to get you a can or two of this stuff. Works a treat !

 

I would only consider this product for medicinal purposes. (i.e it tastes and acts like medicine) but a survey* of late teens shows a majority consume this product as a beverage of choice.

 

Read the label, it's got caffeine in it, along with various other goodies, and caffeine is addictive, hence repeat customers. This and some of their other products may be inclined to be fads, but I like to think companies going for public listings have a switched on marketing crew keeping up with these things
