Pingo Doce is a fictional object in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Pingo Doce is an energy drink made with guarana and bottled in a factory in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where Bruce Banner worked during his time on the run from the American government and General Thaddeus Ross. An accident occurred where a cut caused some of his blood to drip onto the area of the bottles, which he thought he cleaned up, but didn't see the unopened bottle that had been contaminated. It was then shipped off to the United States, where an elderly man had purchased it and poisoned from it in his home. This alerted General Ross's attention to the whereabouts of Banner.
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, it was revealed that he had apparently survived, as the Watcher informant and the gamma victim are supposed to be one and the same.
