Stamin-Up Jingle 
- "With this, the Doctor can go for a very long time! Haha - does that turn you on?"
- — Edward Richtofen
- "Faster, Faster, Faster, Faster, FASTER EVEN!"
- — Abigail "Misty" Briarton
Stamin-Up is a Perk-a-Cola in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 featured in the Zombies mode. It has two effects, one which is the standard version of the perk Marathon from multiplayer, which gives the player twice the amount of sprint endurance. The other effect is identical to the perk Lightweight from multiplayer, giving a 7% speed increase. The color for this perk is yellow/orange, and the icon is a man running at a high speed.
Overview[]
The perk costs 2000 points. It is most useful when the player will be running around the map as part of their strategy, or if they are in danger and being chased by a massive horde of zombies or have to rush to revive a teammate in time. In Ascension, it is useful to have when attempting to defend more than one Perk-a-Cola machine during a Space Monkey round. In Call of the Dead, it can be beneficial in outpacing George A. Romero. It is a useful perk to have in TranZit when running through the fog, as Denizens have a harder time trying to catch the player, and it is useful when being knocked off the Bus, as one has a better chance of catching up to it.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, players can upgrade Stamin-Up's effects with the use of Aetherium Crystals.
- Tier I - Increase backpedal speed.
- Tier II - Immunity to fall damage.
- Tier III - Walk faster while aiming down sights.
- Tier IV - Use equipment while sprinting.
- Tier V - Remove sprint speed falloff.

Appearance[]
The Stamin-Up machine has a wooden finish instead of a paint job. On the front of the machine, there is a white and orange striped design with the Stamin-Up shield on it. Under that, there is a yellow plaque with "Stamin-Up" written in orange. Under that, there is a display of different coloured bottles, from left to right, purple, red, yellow, orange and green.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, like all returning Perk-a-Colas, Stamin-Up's machine takes on a new but similar appearance. Having the same general appearance as it does in the other games, it instead has an aesthetic change coinciding with 1970's disco culture, featuring an icon of a African-American woman on the top left and right sides of the machine. As with all Black Ops Cold War machines, Stamin-Up also now dispenses cans rather than glass bottles.

Trivia[]
- According to the characters, Stamin-Up has a sour taste, and is often noted to be invigorating/refreshing.
- According to Dempsey, Stamin-Up tastes like "lemon-lime with a twist of gasoline". This would later be proven correct in the ingredient list.
- In Buried, Misty notes that the "twist of lime" is absent.
- Takeo and Nikolai note that it could be a good mixer.
- According to the perk's jingle, it is a good source of Vitamin-K.
- The perk's name is a play on the word stamina and soft drink 7 Up.
- The perk takes effect before the player drinks from the bottle, as there is a noticeable boost in walking speed when uncapping.
- On Green Run, Russman says that Stamin-Up cures his bad hip.
- The jingle of Stamin-Up lasts for 1 minute and 15 seconds, the same number for the element, 115.
- At the top of the machine, above the words Stamin-Up is a Treyarch logo.
- Stamin-Up, along with Juggernog, Quick Revive, Speed Cola, Double Tap Root Beer, and Mule Kick, has had its icon that appears in the HUD slightly altered between the release of Die Rise and Mob of the Dead for Call of Duty: Black Ops II. The background has a darker shade of yellow and is dirtier.
- In Shadows of Evil, Stamin-Up does not have any jingle, neither its old one nor a new one made for the map.
- If the player tries to go prone in front of the Stamin-Up machine in Shadows of Evil, Der Eisendrache, Zetsubou No Shima, or Gorod Krovi, it will block them from going prone and they will not be awarded 100 points, unlike the rest of the Perk-a-Cola machines.
- The backing track used for the Stamin-Up jingle comes from a stock track entitled "Heat of the Night". [1]
- Stamin-Up was planned to be in Die Rise as there are unused quotes for it.
