Red Bull Mmmmmmm

Advantages: Refreshing
Disadvantages: Price, all the rumours saying it will kill me :(

I think I'm the reason Red Bull still exists, I buy so much of this stuff, to the extent I worry I'm addicted.. (apparently it is addictive) I don't remember the first time I actually tried it, but I obviously liked it. I used to buy a can in the morning before school, I probably had one in my bag for break and/or lunch too. I don't really feel it makes me energetic, I think it's more of a placebo effect, I just love the taste, I love the fact ...
...worthwhile size! The sugar free Red Bull is the same, except the metallic blue is a lighter pale blue, so it's quite obvious which one is which. However, I've gone home with the wrong one sometimes, the taste is similar but I'd say the sugar free one is less refreshing and thirst quenching. The can says 'Red Bull' in a red that contrasts well with the blue and silver, and underneath it are two red Bulls charging at each other with what I believe ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

It's not red, and there aren't any bulls in it

Advantages: Taste, works as advertised (increased endurance / alertness)
Disadvantages: Potential health risks, addiction

...provide some sort of stimulation. Red Bull promises to ‘Vitalise Body and Mind’, according to the legend on the can – so can it really deliver on its bold boast? DRINK AND BE MERRY The company ‘Red Bull GmbH’ was actually founded way back in 1984. It was originally marketed in Austria in 1987, and being the first product of its kind to reach a European country on such a relatively large scale, the Austrians drank the ...
...A 250ml can of Red Bull contains 0.03% caffeine. For those of us not qualified in Rocket Science, this means that there’s about as much caffeine in one can of Red Bull as there is in a regular cup of coffee. Coca-Cola contains about half that amount; bizarrely enough, Diet Coca-Cola contains more than regular Coca-Cola does! We all know the effects of sugar on a person – in Red Bull it’s in the form of sucrose and glucose, and ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

Red Bull-gives you sugar

Advantages: Great taste.
Disadvantages: Bad for your health.

Red Bull-When I was young I tried one and thought the taste was very average, but after they sponsored a competition at my local skate park (half hour away) a couple of months back, I seem to have become addicted after re-trying it. Having to convince my mum to get them with the 'I don't drink alcohol' persuasion (I don't), she has gave in and got it for me-a four pack 2 days a go. Well, that's gone so I went to get another one, and I can say it ...
...can straight away too-with two red bulls fighting each other and with a blue and silver background with 'Red Bull' written in big red letters. It doesn't exactly stand out but I like the design. ~Ingredients~ To hide the bad stuff-they are written in gobbledegook on the back-so you won't understand either. What I do though is this: 32mg per 100ml of the drink is caffeine. This means that the 250ml can has 78ml of caffeine. I don't know how much ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

Girlstar is taking the BULL by the horns...

Advantages: Energy!
Disadvantages: Price :-(

Red Bull gives you wings! Well not literally (obviously), but it does increase energy. Red bull was the first drink ever to use the phrase “energy drink”, and after years of drinking the stuff I thought I would share my background info and thoughts on the product. Enjoy! Red bull does live up to its title (an Energy Drink), and its advertising (except the whole it gives you wings thing) in that it does make you more alert physically ...
...are instantly recognisable as being Red Bull. The packaging is not anything special as far as I am concerned. The cans are slimmer and taller than Colas and other soft drinks, although I don’t know why, I think it is to ensure that Red Bull isn’t confused for being an ordinary soft drink. RED BULL INGREDIENTS Taurine Glucoronolactene (Try saying that after a few too many Red Bull’s and Vodka!) Carbohydrates Vitamins “Taurine ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

red bull gives you wings

Advantages: it gives you wings
Disadvantages: its very expensive in terms of volume

Red bull? no this isn't a new breed of animal that those mad scientists have brought into being! It is infact a stimulating energy drink. I dont know If anyone else has picked up on this but I believe that red bull actually smells and tastes similar to the baby medicine Calpole have you noticed this? Apart from its distinctive taste red bull can be one of the few energy drinks to claim truthfully that it actually gives you an adrenaline rush! Although ...

Red bull has many positive bonuses to it though and these include: 1) it stimulates metabolism 2) it increases physical endurance 3) it increases reaction speed and 4) it increases concentration.

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

BOOST ME BABY ONE MORE TIME

Advantages: Best Pick-Me-Up available
Disadvantages: Way too Expensive!

...knows or has heard of Red Bull I'm sure, but not as many as you think have tried it! Most people think its merely a placebo used to make money...but those of us that have tried it should know and think otherwise! Well, enough of boring you, I'll Dive right in! PACKAGING Ahhh the classic blue and silver can split into four quarters with the words 'Red Bull' across the join in a bold red typeface! Just looking at the can gives me a tingle down my ...
...distinct taste, other than 'like Red bull'. Seeing as this is Red Bull describing it like that wouldn't be of any assistance at all, now I have been informed it tastes like bull piss...but how or why anyone would find this out is beyond me.Other than the fact it tastes like many other energy drinks I can't explain the taste, so I'll fill you in on some Red Bull knowlage. Did you know: Red Bull was first released onto the market in 1987. It was ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

One For The Matador

Advantages: It gives you energy and stimulates your mind (So they say)
Disadvantages: It is expensive!

Red Bull is probably the most well known energy drink within the UK thanks to their massive advertising campaign that stated 'Red Bull gives you wings'. Well I can assure the parents out there that this isn't the case, so your kids won't be flying the nest just yet. Not that I recommend any parent even thinking about giving this product to their child because it certainly isn't suitable due to the high sugar, caffeine and taurine content. I must ...
...Red Bull, not only because I want to become an angel and have wings (although not the case), I very much enjoy the flavour. Many will disagree and say that the flavour is repulsive, but I guess it is an acquired taste. I think I must have had my first can of Red Bull about 4 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the buzz and amount of energy it gave me, overtime though, like most drugs the buzz wears off meaning you have to drink more and more to get ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

Red Bull - does it do what it claims

Advantages: Great any time of Day and good mixer
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...of us are strangers to Red Bull, we have either heard of it or tasted it. The adverts that grace out TV's saying Red Bull gives you wings to the Red Bull Minis that can be seen darting round the streets advertising with a huge can of Red Bull on the roof prove that Red Bull is the biggest name in Energy Drinks in Europe. The history of Red Bull goes back to the early 1980's, it was founded by an Austrian called Dietrich Mateschitz who travelled ...
...in Europe. And so the Red Bull Energy Drink was born. In 1987 Dietrich Mateschitz launched Red Bull on the Austrian market. Then, one by one, he brought Red Bull to almost all European countries. The launch of Red Bull was accompanied by thorough scientific testing and extensive medical research as the massive success of the new brand attracted much attention, curiosity and suspicion. However, numerous scientific studies confirmed the positive effects ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

Red Bulls Hit

Advantages: Can be useful if you need to stay awake
Disadvantages: Expensive and maybe addictive

Red Bull has been around for a few years and to be honest when I first tried it I hated it. It tastes a bit like medicine, being a very chemically taste mixed with fruit juices. It's a bit like Vimto mixed with car battery acid, or that was my first impression. How Red Bull was born. Back in the early 80s, Dietrich Mateschitz, now managing partner of Red Bull GmbH, often travelled to Asia on business. There he came across some very popular "energy ...
...in Europe. And so the Red Bull Energy Drink was born. In 1987 Dietrich Mateschitz launched Red Bull on the Austrian market. Then, one by one, he brought Red Bull to almost all European countries. I have quoted the website there, www.redbull.com just in case you thought I was plagiarising. Ingredients include Taurine, caffeine and Glucose as well as some vitamins. All this means you get a very big kick up the backside in terms of energy. The effects ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

Gives you wings, addiction and the shakes

Advantages: Best tasting energy drink on the market
Disadvantages: cost cost cost

...do you get guilt? Red Bull used to be a staple on my shopping list… I have been known to quaff ridiculous amounts in the past on a daily basis but found myself literally addicted to the product – whether on a mental or physical level I’m not sure. Those of you who can’t wake up without that cup of strong coffee or a can of Coca Cola from the fridge might be able to empathise with me here although I’m sure a lot of people ...
...heroin habit rather than a Red Bull one! The flavour is perfect… although I can’t quite put my finger on what it is and how to describe it – nothing like coke, squash or juice – unique then! Competitors have tried to capture this flavour and succeeded in only producing a drink that tastes of melted down cheap fruit iced lollies – nothing like the real thing. I have to say the flavour and ‘burn’ of the gas ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

It gives you "wings"

Advantages: Fast energy boost, looks appealing
Disadvantages: High caffeine levels, costs alot

Red Bull - and it certainly can give you wings if you have too much. Personally it's my favourite energy drink, beats Lucozade and other energy drinks, they even have it in the less sugar version in a lighter blue can. Basically I have taken this before an exam, it helps make you concentrated and awake (due to the amount of caffeine in it). Tastes better than a cup of coffee, nice and refreshing but there is always that health risk with drinking ...
...As we already know Red Bull is an energy drink, probably the most best one on the market, as you see in the picture it's in a deep blue and siver can, with two bulls on the front. 250ml is the volume in each can. I must say that Red Bull and Vodka is lush, especially they do it abroad on holidays and in nighclubs, but it tastes alright on its own. Redbull is sold in all supermarkets, I know tesco's do it, sainsburys and asda, i'm pretty sure morrisons ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

More than just a myth.

Advantages: Is very effective, sleek design, offers many benefits
Disadvantages: Colour and taste of drink lacks appeal

...many people who highly regard Red Bull in this field, I was tempted to try it out. As first impressions go, few could match that offered by Red Bull. It is very aesthetically pleasing, featuring a sleek, tall can, that really makes the drink stand out from the crowd. With its fusion of blue and silver, the can of Red Bull looks modern and contemporary. In terms of the actual drink itself, Red Bull is much less appealing. The colour is a pale yellow, ...
...tastes, so in this aspect, Red Bull is different from your everyday can of drink. In terms of whether the drink lives up to its claims, I would say that it does. The effects of the drink are not instantaneous, but the caffeine content (0.03% caffeine per 250ml) gets to work and there is a noticeable difference. You really do gain an increased amount of concentration. Think of Red Bull as a kick start to a weary day, much the same as a large cup ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

At last I can fly

Advantages: Gives you energy
Disadvantages: Doesn't taste too nice

I started drinking Red Bull around this time last year. The main reason being was because in the summer I work long hours at the funfair, and found myself getting rather tired on a number of occasions. So, when I came across this drink in the drinks cabinet on the ice-cream stall next door to where I worked, I thought I'd give it a go - to wake me up more than anything! And wake me up it did! Red Bull is a stimulation drink. It vitalizes the mind ...
...can with the name in red on the front. Sometimes I pay little over £1 or £0.90p for a 250ml can. So, it's not cheap. But, it's not one of those drinks that you drink all the time like cola or lemonade. Only when you feel you need a boost. I get through maybe 1 or 2 cans a weeks, depending on when I feel I need it most. THE TASTE ~~~~~~~~ I remember when I had my very first Red Bull. I didn't like the taste at all. I thought it was vile. But, as ...

Review of Red Bull Energy Drink

For energy use only

Advantages: Great for energy
Disadvantages: Health risks

Red bull is the well known energy drink marketed in the UK with the 'red bull gives you wings' advertisements. It has stimulant properties and promises to increase concentration, performance, reaction speed and metabolism. Some essential information about the drink: INGREDIENTS Water, sucrose, glucose, acidity regulator sodium citrates, carbon dioxide, taurine (0.4%), glucuronolactone (0.24%), caffeine (0.03%), inositol, vitamins (niacin, pantothenic ...
...values are for 100ml of red bull. The actual can contains 250ml so all of these values should be multiplied by 2.5, e.g a can will actually contain 122.5 kcal energy. PACKAGING The can is distinctive in that it is taller and slimmer than a usual soft drinks can such as coke. It is blue and silver with the red bull logo on the front. Its a fairly simple sleek design more marketed at men than women in my opinion. It contains an ingredients and nutrional ...

Nice with Vodka, Horrible without.

Advantages: Full of energy.
Disadvantages: Dear, Nasty taste.

...really thin, drink cans. Red Bull..... Hmmmmmmmm i thought, let me read this, so i read it and it stated that is was a high energy drink, well i thought it sounded ok, so i decided to buy one, but when i asked how much, the bloke behind the stall said 89p each, or 2 for £1.00, LOL, i had to laugh. I will have 1 please LOL, ok i brought 2, but if i did by 1, i would be weird yes LOL. So there i am, with my drinks, ice cold, and in need of me drinking ...
...local square, I sit down and i open one up and take my first taste, ewwwwwwwwww. I thought they was aweful, but i thought, i brought them, i had to drink them, so i drank some more, and after i had finished the first can, i was getting used to them, but i was still not that sure about them. The first thing you notice when you do purchase some of these is that they are a really thin canned drink, but they are taller than most drinks, They are 250ml ...
