Topic: Redbull

I generally hate energy drinks... most of them taste so terrible, but I just love the taste of redbull.

Who's with me?!

[PyroMenace]

I think redbull is pretty fucking stupid.

I can't drink energy drinks or caffeine at all really. It feels like giving in and letting the tiredness win. The only energy drink I've had before is Red Bull and it sucked.

Green Monster.  They are so completely terrible for you though.

[Pugnate]

I've never heard of Green Monster. Link?

I kinda like the taste of Red Bull, it's more of a recreational soft drink. Other than that I avoid "energy drinks" and I'm starting to decrease my intake of carbonated drinks in general.

The drink is actually just "Monster".  The original flavor has a green-themed can.  Newer flavors have other colors like blue, red, or orange.  Some have names, some don't.

I love Red Bull.  I won't drink it anymore really, but I really enjoy it for some reason.

[scottws]

Yeah Redbull is pretty good too.  I just feel like it is ridiculously expensive.  That's why I started trying the larger drinks like Amp, Rockstar, and Monster.  Those are expensive too, but at least there is more.

[Quemaqua]

But with those drinks, more is like... worse.

Yea redbull is really really expensive.

Haven't had monster yet. Haven't seen it here.

I just love that first taste of a redbull.... it feels like this weird rusty thing... mmmmm...

There is another Austrian energy drink they sell here, called Next. It isn't bad. It is like Redbull Orange or something.

There is another energy drink that is popular in Thailand. It is called SHARK.

DO NOT TRY THIS.

IT TASTES SO HORRIBLE!

IT TASTES LIKE VOMIT AND EGG OR SOMETHING!

I tried BURN, which is Coca Cola's attempt at selling experimental shit.. Nasty.

[scottws]

But with those drinks, more is like... worse.

Yeah.  Tons of calories and other horrible stuff.

Redbull gives you puke!

I tasted a redbull once, and it was because a representative of redbull (who also happen to be really hot!) gave me one at a park. I took a drink, spit it out and threw it in the trash. It was gross.

Haven't ever tried any of the other drinks. I probably never will.

[Pugnate]

Wow... I think the drink is just delicious.

[K-man]

Especially when a shot of Jagermeister is with it.

I drink diet rockstars occasionally.

love the stuff. mainly drink it as an alcoholic mixer, but i'll get a big can of relentless (redbull clone) if i need to work after not enough sleep. i am a total caffeine fiend, however - today i've had one can of relentless, three cups of tea, and about half a litre of diet coke.

By the way, in my experience Red Bull in Canada tastes quite different from Red Bull in Europe and the Middle-East. The North American version tasted lacking (almost stale in my opinion) whereas the Red Bull in the U.A.E. has a strong and distinct flavour. I think it has to do with the varying taurine levels between the regions.

[Pugnate]

Absolutely...

There is a definite difference between redbull from various parts of the world. My favorite is Redbull from the UAE (Dubai).

I love redbull so much, I've tried it from everywhere...

USA redbull tastes about as good as UAE redbull, though lacks that rusty metal taste. But the UAE redbull is a touch sweeter.

UK redbull is my least favorite. Not only is there a lack of the "direct' flavor, there is a tiny fruity taste in the background.
