“The price of Red Bull, other energy drinks may be about”

Yep, I was just saying that they may be about.

I just turned 70 and I’ve never had a single “energy drink” in my entire life. I drink about one carbonated beverage every year, mainly to calm a rare upset stomach.

Am I missing a great experience?

Sugar free Red Bull is ok, but I prefer to make an extra cup of coffee.

I’m trying to imagine what those few who actually supported Biden and these demented Democrat misfits are thinking right now?

“Biden is great, we love soaring prices, we love sky high gasoline, we love paying more for everything, we love empty shelves, we love violent open borders, we love higher crime, we love restrictive travel and having a violently divided country is so cool!

Go Biden!”

Red Bull in the can is a reformulation of a syrupy Thai energy drink which was an imitation of the Japanese Lipovitan. The Thai company, TC Pharmaceutical, licensed it to an Austrian in the late 90s. He made the carbonated formula big in Europe then brought it to the US.

Red Bull in Thailand sponsors the Saturday morning muay thai bouts.

In the US it is sold in Asian markets in the syrup bottles as “Kratieng Dang”, which means “Red Bull.” It is way cheaper than the fizzy stuff, but nastier.

Started drinking Red Bull a few years ago instead of coffee when I went back to work. Like it very much now, plus I like their Formula One team. Doing my part to keep them all multi-millionaires.

It’s also a nice mixer for a vodka adult beverage.

Who the hell would be stupid enough to believe that the prince of aluminum is a factor in the price of a Red Bull? I can buy twelve cans of name-brand cola for the price of one tiny can of Red Bull.

It’s not like those energy drinks were cheap to begin with. $3 - $4 a can. Better to buy a cup of coffee.
