Keurig Dr. Pepper (NASDAQ:KDP) said it's not currently pursuing a purchase of Bang Energy.
Keurig (KDP) made the comments in a statement, according to a Bloomberg report.

The news comes after Bloomberg on Thursday reported Keurig Dr. Pepper (KDP) was said in talks to acquire Bang Energy drinks from Vital Pharmaceuticals, also known as VPX.

A potential Bang Energy deal comes after Bloomberg reported in November that Monster Beverage (MNST)Â was saidÂ to explore a dealÂ with Constellation Brand (STZ). CNBC reported in late February that Monster's founders may be interested in aÂ deal with Constellation Brands (STZ).
