Pentoz

Pentoz is a fictional energy drink featured in the *GTA* (Grand Theft Auto) video game series, specifically in *Grand Theft Auto IV* and its expansion packs *The Lost and Damned* and *The Ballad of Gay Tony*. The drink is produced by the fictional company Pentoz Energy, which operates primarily in Liberty City, the game’s setting based on New York City.

Pentoz is marketed as a high-energy beverage designed to enhance physical and mental performance, often depicted as a staple among the game’s criminal underworld. The drink is commonly consumed by characters in the series, particularly those involved in organized crime, street racing, and other high-stakes activities. Its packaging and branding reflect a sleek, modern aesthetic, with vibrant colors and bold typography.

In the games, Pentoz is frequently referenced in dialogue, advertisements, and as a prop in various scenes. The drink’s popularity among the game’s criminal factions underscores its role as a cultural symbol within the fictional world. While Pentoz is purely fictional, its inclusion in the *GTA* series has contributed to its recognition among fans of the franchise.

The drink’s name and branding are part of the game’s satirical portrayal of consumer culture, blending elements of real-world energy drinks with exaggerated, exaggerated marketing tactics. Pentoz does not appear in later entries of the *GTA* series, but it remains a notable part of the franchise’s legacy, particularly for players who experienced *GTA IV* and its expansion packs.
