Red Bull

[Republik]

Just spent my lunch hour in town and saw a chav mum with her 2 year old kid.

Said child was drinking a can of red bull. That'll be fun when it kicks in!

No, the Vodka would have watered down the effect.

When I lived there between 2001 and 2002 you couldn't buy it anywhere, yet it was widely available in the UK and Switzerland (at least).

Whether it was illegal or there was just no demand for it is another story though, the French aren't into getting p*ssed, and if they were they wouldn't drink Vodka Redbulls!

How much money do red bull have, around about £300 million at last count was the personal fortune of mateschitz. so i hear, in 1999 red bull sold 3 trillion cans of the stuff world wide!

Nonsense. 3 trillion in a year would mean that everyone on earth was drinking ~40 cans of Red Bull a day. I think it was probably 3 billion!

They were trying to ban it when they 1st brought it across from the Orient. Gerhard Berger used to drink it before every race. They thought it was alcoholic until they tested it. Then it was allowed in shops around Europe.

There is word that Red Bull is dangerous, 2 cans exceed the weekly caffine in take for an average man.

I stand corrected, the details were in evo speed issue(i think) and i cant be arsed to go and look it up!

[steveo29]

There's only 80mg of caffiene in a can; that's less than a good coffee (~100mg for strong filter coffee). The word that it's dangerous is bks - it's the same as drinking some really sugary coffee or a couple of cans of coke.

I think they do much worse than give babies Red Bull on chav estates.

[absolutely]

It was touted for a while as too dangerous for regular consumption.

I stand corrected Hairy!

It was until very recently. I bought a can over there in August though - taste the same as the UK stuff.
