After earning a mere $12 million in 1997, they now account for $1 billion of the $60 billion U.S. soft-drink market. Red Bull was the energy-drink pioneer, and still commands a share of more than 60%, but there are more than 200 challengers to the throne, many of which have attracted cultlike followings...
