Yesterday evening I drove back home from a friend, on the way I stopped at a gas station in Dortmund where I bought two cans of Red Bull, when I paid it the shop assistant said something like: "You really want to drink two cans of this horrible stuff?". Today I got a call from my father, he complained that I left the two empty cans in his car, he said something like: "The whole car smells like the stuff, the smell is already disgusting, I will not know how it tastes".

Everyone seems to hate Red Bull. Why? I really like it, the taste is great and it is the perfect drink for Sunday evening when I am feeling tired after a party weekend.

What about you? Do you like Red Bull?

Patrick

I like it. Dunno why tho.

I like it but I agree that it smells funny. The smell and flavour remind me of liquified fruit gello.

I really like it, stuff really helps during exam time and long days at work!

Works even better on nights out with a shot or two of Vodka!

I hate it. The stench is God awful and the taste is even worse.
If I want "energy" fast, I'll drink coffee and eat something sugary.

I used to drink it quite a lot, with vodka added of course. I don't mind the taste, however after a few I find it does give me gut-rot. I now generally stay away from it!

Thats why the recomend 1 every 12hours !!

lol. yep i like it and i currently have a big box of the stuff in my garage for me

I don't hate Red Bull, but I don't like it either. It's just a regular drink with the taste of Haribo Gummibärchen.

Quoting Lewis (Reply 2): I like it but I agree that it smells funny. The smell and flavour remind me of liquified fruit gello.

My description of the taste is a "carbonated pixie stick."

I'm not a particular fan of it. Have probably had under 20 cans of it in my lifetime.

I also wouldn't ever drink it with alcohol (when I used to drink). Dunno if it actually could be a problem, but I never wanted to mix such a stimulant with such a depressant.

I drink too much Red Bull!

Quoting Vikkyvik (Reply 8): I also wouldn't ever drink it with alcohol (when I used to drink)

I used to drink it with vodka but stopped since its supposed to be quite dangerous for heart problems if mixed with alcohol.

I don't drink red bull,

I thought that Red Bull is a chav's drink ... innit?

  

Quoting Kieron747 (Reply 11): I don't drink red bull, Signed, France

Not just France - Denmark, Norway and Uruguay have also banned it.

I like it, I just spent a weekend in France with school. Itr saved my life:

Set off 5pm on Friday night. Caught the 9.00 Pride Of Hull P&O ferry to Rotterdam. Slept on Ferry

Arrived in Rotterdam at 0800 Saturday Morning.

Drove to Lille in France, arrived at 1100

Spent the day in Lille and all of Sunday until 1200, then set off to Rotterdam and caught the 9.00 ferry back last night. I am knackered. I also broke my wrist !!!


Tom

I used to drink Vodka and Red Bulls but i found that the hangovers where awful and your heart felt shite the next day.

Something to do with the Vodka slowing it down and the Red Bull speeding it up.

I'll buy it if i really need to stay awake but i wouldn't drink t for refreshment alone.

I love it with a shot of Jager. Jager Bombs!!!!!!!!!!!

BAB  

No. It's awful.

RBR...they are okay though!  

Adam

Why do they have to make it taste like...



Mark

Love it! I'm drinking a can every day + a lot of coffee

Downside is that it's so bloody expensive 2-3EUR a can here in Germany.
It's only abou 1,20EUR in Austria.

I've used it once to stay awake for exams. Pounded 3 cans, I don't think that I've ever tasted anything so vile in my life. But, I have to give them credit, it worked. But never again, I'll stick with coffee.

Quoting BaylorAirBear (Reply 16): I love it with a shot of Jager. Jager Bombs!!!!!!!!!!!

   Also called "Cock-Block" around here - don't ask me why though.

Quoting BaylorAirBear (Reply 16): I love it with a shot of Jager. Jager Bombs!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome, I had two of them last Saturday!

Quoting Dba4U (Reply 19): Downside is that it's so bloody expensive 2-3EUR a can here in Germany.

That's right, I paid 2.10 EUR per can yesterday evening at the gas station.

Ok, no more Red Bull for me tonight, it's time for Monday night football which means that I am drinking beer. 

Patrick

Red Bull.....


SUCKS!

Its nasty. Ive had it twice in my life. Once before a BDL-DFW flight and once cuz I figured id try it again... Ugh. Plus its a rip off. 2 bucks for that little can. If you want a real energy drink, get some:

I like the Diet Redbull. It just tastes better IMO.

Quoting Sabena332 (Reply 22): That's right, I paid 2.10 EUR per can yesterday evening at the gas station.

2,10 is still ok for a gas station. Paid 2.65 at the train station yesterday o0

I like it but, like others here, just on its own.

Quoting RobertNL070 (Reply 12): I thought that Red Bull is a chav's drink ... innit?

With vodka, maybe? A sort of DIY alcopop.

Quoting Pope (Reply 24): I like the Diet Redbull. It just tastes better IMO.

It would be the first diet version in history to do so.  

Quoting AsstChiefMark (Reply 18): Why do they have to make it taste like...

Er... I like cough medicine...

... I'll get me coat.

Red Bull is good...I used to drink it when it first came out and the market wasnt saturated with other similar drinks. I really dont mind the taste like some people do, but sobe adrenaline rush and mountain dew 'amp' taste better imo.

Quoting Cadet57 (Reply 23): If you want a real energy drink, get some:

As for this...Id say the real answer is:



Along with Endorush (not sure if its made anymore), Redline is the tops. Unfortunately its not readily available except at specialty retailers like gnc or smoothie king...not even sure if its sold anywhere outside the U.S.

Red Bull tastes like idk...it's just gross.
I don't like it but I think it does it's job so when I am tired in school I will have some of my friends.

I like red bull but it seriously has no effects on me what so ever!!!

My little cousin on the other hand.......   

OK after spending all Monday night drinking Beers at Boston Pizza and watching Monday night football, I will need a couple redbull's at 7AM while at work or I will be ZZZZZ'ing. Amen to Red Bull!!!

BTW... It tastes ok. The sugarfree stuff is better IMO.

Quoting BaylorAirBear (Reply 16): I love it with a shot of Jager. Jager Bombs!!!!!!!!!!! BAB drunk

3 for $5.00 and a pretty good deal at Costco. Very good stuff!

I work graveyards, and halfway through the shift, I drink one. I then find myself bouncing off the walls, and having a blast of energy. Then when the shift ends, I am ready to crash.

I may be the only person on earth who actually gets drowsy within minutes of drinking Red Bull.

It's like liquid heroin to me...

Plus it tastes like orange juice that's been in the fridge for a couple months...

It's a cross between urine (as I'd imagine it to taste) and a fluoride treatment at the dentist. Pretty vulgar stuff to be honest...especially when you mix it with Jaegermeister. That's just ignunt.

Quoting Sabena332 (Thread starter): What about you? Do you like Red Bull?

Sure do....especially with Mandarin vodka.   

At first I didn't like it. Now I will drink it, usually on those nights out when I'm not drinking and on those nights out when I mix it with stuff

Quoting BaylorAirBear (Reply 16): I love it with a shot of Jager. Jager Bombs!!!!!!!!!!!

I had one of these for the first time on saturday night. Needless to say it lead to two, three...........   

I usually wont touch the stuff, but it does work wonders on late night longhaul drives. Every thanksgiving I make the 12.5 hour drive from the ATL area to see the family close to FNT. Usually the drive begins when work ends around 4:30pm. I find that Red Bull really keeps me up through Ohio and Michigan during the early hours of the morning.

its great......terrible for you but great!! it makes me think of sunny pastures, cozy villages nestled in quaint valleys, between the towering snow capped peaks of the alps in Bavaria........ ahhh good stuff

I like Rockstar or Diet Rockstar over Redbull. Just a prefrence though.

Call me crazy, and my friends do, but I love the taste of Red Bull, and drink them all the time.

Its as Healthy as smoking is for the body.

I don't mind the taste but generally steer clear of the drink as it actually give me the opposite affect and makes me very tired !!

It's pretty good stuff, although at work they recommend we don't drink too much of the stuff as it can have side effects, apparently.



Lee

i like it, i prefer a monster XXL, though

being here, I get about 9-10 hours of homework some days, it really helps me cope with it and finish it on time

It tastes like toothpaste to me. I don't drink Red Bull. I don't like it.

I like coffee  

cheers

Tastes lousy.But did help me stay awake during my Studytime for B752SF A&P classes & during lectures.The downside was that I was the only guy awake after lunch during the leactures while most were dosing off

I live off the stuff when work is hectic or when drinking starts at 11 AM and goes into the next day and you need that next boost to go all the next day!

Quoting YHMYYZspotter (Reply 30): The sugarfree stuff is better IMO.

Second that

Quoting Aussie18 (Reply 40): Its as Healthy as smoking is for the body.

Wrong.

Quoting Ordryan28 (Reply 43): i like it, i prefer a monster XXL, though

I personally can't stand the swill from Corona (Monster) and think Red Bull tastes commensurate to rotten bubble gum. I am, however, a big fan of Sobe No Fear Sugar Free and Sobe Sugar Free Adrenaline Rush (A-Rush in Canada).

Quoting N1120A (Reply 47): Quoting Aussie18 (Reply 40): Its as Healthy as smoking is for the body. Wrong.

It is not healthy for you.
There were studies done which linked it to serveral deaths because people mixed it heavily with alcohol and also from drinking serval cans after excessive exercise.
Its certainly not good for your body especially your heart!

One can now and than is fine just excessive drinking like 2 or 3 cans a day isnt too good.

I like it, cut back on my Coke addiction, I like it cold.

With Jagermeister!!!

Quoting Sabena332 (Thread starter): What about you? Do you like Red Bull?

Yes, I like Red Bull. I drink Red Bull at night clubs. Cold and fresh.

Quoting Aussie18 (Reply 48): It is not healthy for you. There were studies done which linked it to serveral deaths because people mixed it heavily with alcohol and also from drinking serval cans after excessive exercise.

Except that Red Bull had nothing to do with it. Excessive Alcohol consumption and excessive exercise are definate factors in premature death, and those studies basically ignore that

Quoting Aussie18 (Reply 48): Its certainly not good for your body especially your heart!

Under 600 mg of caffeine per day is shown to regulate optimal adrenal function and is perfectly healthy, if not more healthy than not, in healthy individuals. The other major energy factors in Red Bull, B vitamins and Taurine, are nutrients that are essential for the body and aid in better health and performance.

You'd have to pay me good money to make me drink that awful stuff.

Quoting Dba4U (Reply 25): 2,10 is still ok for a gas station. Paid 2.65 at the train station yesterday

2.10 for coloured sugar-water with some chemical add-ons is ok for you?

I had a Red Bull Rita at El Arroyo yesterday here in Austin, Texas. It was okay.

Quoting DeltaOwnsAll (Reply 27): Redline is the tops. Unfortunately its not readily available except at specialty retailers like gnc or smoothie king...not even sure if its sold anywhere outside the U.S.

You can buy this stuff at any 711 here in Texas and it tastes disgusting and has no longer effect of energy than say a Red Bull or Full Throttle. Reminds me of Robitussin cough syrup.   

It tastes like liquid, carbonated Smarties, and it makes my back teeth hurt. I'll drink it on occasion, when I need a quick caffeine fix, but never as a mixer with booze.

Red Bull is okay. I actually prefer Amp by Mountain Dew, it works better for me. In general I don't use tha stuff much anyway. Caffine in general doesn't drastically wake me up.
