Red Bull (the drink, not the team)

[CharlieB]

Why?









Just thought I'd ask.

 

[twowheelsgood]

Marketing.

friggin' disgusting stuff.
I got so drunk on Red Bull and Vodka once that I can still taste the bloody stuff 5 years later.

I've never tried it as a mix for an alcoholic drink but in one place I lived in Vietnam, I couldn't get a sports drink to take on rides so used to have a Red Bull and water mix in the drinks bottle. I got used to the taste and quite enjoyed the drink but I'm not sure it did anything for my cycling performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Archie_tect]

Never tasted it.

Tried Lucozade once -still don't understand why anyone would buy that either!

 

[ttcycle]

Horrible- tastes like mouthwash.

 

[rikki]

Marketing.

inspired by an already existing drink called Krating Daeng

remixed for western taste and branded Red Bull.

$$$$$$$$$$$

Why didn't I think of it?

If we're asking why, why root-beer? Liquid germolene.

4Up, 5Up... 6Up?


No, they're right- it'll never catch on.

Root Beer I really like, though I know it's an acquired taste.

AW, Brandberg and Fentimans are good ones.

I wish it was stocked more widely and less expensive

Strange how Red Bull used to be a strong lager.

 

[Aperitif]

So, you see Charlie, it's origins lie in bullocks. Red Bulls hit the spot. Any interesting animals you have at ZSL that could make a drink name, perchance?

'Okapi Creme' or 'Orangutin' perhaps?

 

[CharlieB]

Tiger Beer?
Hair of the African Hunting Dog?
Snakebite?
Panda Pops?

 

[numbnuts]

never had it, have I missed anything

 

[What's that clunking?]

Why?









Just thought I'd ask.

Well, what else could you use in a Jagerbomb?
