It was two years ago at SHOT show in Vegas. Fake Red Bulls aren’t a problem in GA, TX, or MS. It was just a problem in Vegas and some places on the West Coast, and I’d gotten a fake 12 oz one at a drugstore on the Strip.
He told me that on the 12 oz ones, if they said Made In Switzerland they were fake. At that time 12 oz ones were only made in Austria.
He also said that the small cans that said Made In Austria were the real thing, so stick with those. At that time, the fakes they were aware of around Vegas were only the 12 oz marked Made in Switzerland.
Also, he said purchasing from a large retail vendor like Costco or Sam’s or a large Supermarket, rather than Convenience Stores were the best way to avoid fakes.
Remember, this was two years ago, so things could’ve changed as far as fakes. I do only buy the little ones now, and only from large retailers.
