Red Bull Doesn't Taste Good?

Wait, what?

I have seen the flavor of Red Bull panned all over the internet and in person. This makes no sense to me. I think that Red Bull is extremely delicious; in fact, I'd go so far as to call it more delicious than any other carbonated beverage. I can say less for its effects; I don't really feel much after drinking a Red Bull, and I usually drink things much more quickly than most people (I finish a large can -- 16 oz., I think -- in about a minute). Red Bull is almost identical in taste to other energy drinks (Monster, Rockstar, &c), probably because the ingredients are just about the same; they all taste like guarana.

In other news, a few days ago, I downed a Red Bull and a 5-Hour Energy together and was surprised at their synergy; I experienced a remarkable lift that lacked excessive edginess. Everything came together in sharp clarity -- the borders of objects were sharper and contrasted more with their backgrounds. Reading became easier, and my mood was elevated too -- this was a feeling that was sustained for several hours. Those 5-Hour Energy shots are awfully expensive*, but they sure do work.

*$4.00 for a tiny bottle filled with caffeine and B vitamins? Come on. What's the profit margin on that like? Niacin and caffeine are stupidly cheap in bulk.

  1. Arieh. Red Bull actually IS disgusting.
    Also, you're going to die of a million diseases at once, and I bet your body hates you. Stop that.

  3. I am wondering which blogging and site-building platform you are running?
    I'm new to blogging and have been thinking about using the Vox platform. Do you think this is a good platform to start with? I would be very thankful if I could ask you some questions through email so I can learn a bit more before getting started. When you have some free time, please make sure to contact me at: juan-faulkner@gmail.com. Many thanks

  8. When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and
    now each time a comment is added I get four emails with
    the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Cheers!, i.e. click the next web site!
