Shark Energy Drink is available in over 89 countries, and made its debut in UK nightclubs (like The Blue Orchid in Croydon) in 2002 & in the US later in 2008. The drink is slightly promoted in America, Europe and Asia.
The Buffalo Silverbacks of the American Basketball Association were renamed to the Buffalo Sharks in 2008 to promote the brand.[2]
