Red Bull

[aggienaut]

So I realized, I look down on people who drink Red Bull.


Red Bull costs twice as much as all of its competitors. To me, anyone who regularly buys Red Bull is blindly following brand-name-ism to such a degree that they don't bother to notice a pretty glaringly obvious economic fact.

I feel the same way. I don't understand why people still buy it.

Redbull tastes like crap and is expensive..and there is SOOOO much better stuff out there!!!

is it me or does red bull taste like sweet tarts?

[jnel.livejournal.com]

hmm to me, redbull tastes like cough syrup. BUT an nrg drink that to me tastes like sweet tarts is BOO-KOO or Rockstar Burner.

The Monster energy drink to me tastes like cough syrup, or liquid cotton candy.. its so sugary. And Rockstar tastes like taurine (which sometimes isn't that bad). I actually rather like the Amp energy drink. What is this Rockstar Burner?


Also, I like your icon.

Hm. Is it good?

i heard some where that drinking alcohol decreases the heart rate, whereas energy drinks like red bull increase the heart rate. i'm not sure if it's healthy to drink it at the same time.

Well, essentially it's speedballing. You should never mix uppers and downers, you're right. I'm waiting on the first heart attack. o.O

[scarlettfan84.livejournal.com]

well, i don't drink. i don't consume energy drinks either because they both taste awful. i got tired of soda but i do occasionally go for coffee.

Ew. I can't stand Red Bull and wouldn't take it even if it was free.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

What if you were paid to?

[anyamartinez.livejournal.com]

I think not, because to me it's nothing more than carbonated piss.

Who are you? Why are you on my friends list and most of my other friends lists? Please take me off.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Why?

[trazan.livejournal.com]

The Red Bull commercials are pretty sexist too.

Well, do take into account the vast flavor differences between the brands. Some people can't stand anything but Redbull, or Adrenaline Rush, of No Fear.
Most people are brand loyal in most things, really.
I had to kick the energy drink habit and switch to caffeine pills for $$$

What bothers me most about energy drinks is that which clings to the aluminum.

I only like Red Bull because it goes well with jager. I don't drink it on its own.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

But do you drink jager on its own?

[3libras.livejournal.com]

No, not usually. If there's nothing else to drink it with (or nothing better than Coke or Pepsi, blech), then I will, but I prefer not to.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

hm. I like it. In fact, I think I'll put having some jager on my to-do list!!

As far as bombs go, I prefer Irish Car Bombs
