    It's difficult to work out whether the Yanks are very stupid or very clever. How gob****ey do you have to be to think that it would make you grow wings?

    Red Bull doesn't give you wings. No really. It doesn't!
    Bought a can of Red Bull in the past 12 years? Claim a $10 cash refund! Soft drink firm forced to pay out $13million because drink 'doesn't really give you wings'.

    Despite the sensationalist title of that rag article. The american who claimed against them did so because red bull did not actually improve performance, not because he didn't sprout angel wings out his back.

    Red bull is full of sugar, all it does is give you a sugar rush.

    What about diet redbull?

    It is caffeine and taurine and glucuronalactone that gives increased perforamance.

    The point is there is no proof it enhances performance at all and they claimed it did. If it was true they could prove it

    It definately keeps you up all night!! I used to only drink it around exam time when I had to study all night. You can get it in those little shots too. I drank about 6 shots and had a few cans and it made me so sick I had to defer my exam.

    In general, ****e like that just gives you a lift because you are having a crash because you drink ****e like that.

    Drinking caffeine just gives you a 'high' in relation to the withdrawals you are suffering because you are addicted to it.

    If you don't take caffeine regularly however, you will feel a genuine rush. A bit like a non-smoker having a smoke...woah...this feels funky! But take up smoking full-time and those rushes disappear. You smoke to get rid of the withdrawals.

    There are 100s of papers backing up those three ingredients.

    Don't think there is any specifically on just redbull though. It def works. Same as coffee works.

    What about the people who did sprout wings? Do you know what kind of medical expenses there are with sprouting wings, wreaked back, infections due to poor circulation, can't get clothes that fit. Wings on a human aren't a good thing at all, I can't even fly it just hurts my spine when I move them.
