Red Bull Cola???

cournioni · 20-04-2008 10:31pm

Does it mix well with any liquors?

JavaBear · 21-04-2008 1:46am

Haven't seen this stuff yet, hope they give it out in college free lol, don't really wanna spend 1.70 on a drink.. who buys it for that price?

Jesus Wept · 21-04-2008 3:07am

Can't be any worse than Red Bull.

Agent Smith · 21-04-2008 3:11am

gonna get some in the morning.

This stuff better be good. I'd expecting it to be crap tho.

i'll review tomorrow!

Thomas_S_Hunterson · 22-04-2008 9:00pm

I've had a few can's of the stuff, don't know where all the bad reviews are coming from, I thought it was delicious, shame about the price though. It's only a tiny bit bigger than a normal can, 355 ml instead of 330 ml.

xOxSinéadxOx · 22-04-2008 11:34pm

like a mr. freeze only nicer. i wouldn't drink it if i was thirsty though for some reason, not really a thirst quenching drink.

Basq · 30-04-2008 7:03pm

Just picked up a can in Dunnes.. chilling in the fridge as we speak (the can, not me!

).

They're selling for 99c a can there, or a special offer of €2.99 for 4 cans.

SantryRed · 30-04-2008 7:37pm

Anyone else think it just takes like the cola bottles you can get for 40c?

afatbollix · 30-04-2008 7:47pm

mr frezzes thats what it tastes like for me... suger and water!!!!!

MizzLolly · 30-04-2008 10:33pm

I had a can today! It was yummy, yummy, yummy!!

af_thefragile · 30-04-2008 10:54pm

It was the worst cola i drank in my life!
And i can seriously say that! It was horrible. It tasted like those cola candies you get at cinemas.
It looks like a cheap cola and sure does taste cheap... way cheaper than what its sold for... I couldn't even drink the whole can, had to throw a good loads of it in the bin...

kwestfan08 · 01-05-2008 9:40pm

Drank a can of it the other day. It was rotten. Definatly won't be getting an other. Being from Cavan though, I had to finish it.

mikemac · 01-05-2008 9:44pm

Which reminds me.
Is that foul Dunnes coke still around? Was dirt cheap back in the day, maybe 50% of the cost of Coca Cola or Pepsi

ah i remember this stuff:)

Creamy Goodness · 01-05-2008 10:50pm

it's nice, it's not something you could have everyday though.

i'd imagine it makes a savage mixer though.

The guy · 01-05-2008 11:08pm

It's crappy cola.

invincibleirish · 01-05-2008 11:18pm

Red Bull Cola is mank, cadet cola was/is the shizniz.

+1. worst drink ever, started off decent but got worse with evry sup.

JC 2K3 · 01-05-2008 11:58pm

It's like 99% carbonated water and extracted corn syrup.

FreddieLaker · 02-05-2008 5:39pm

ah behave - at least they're tellin ya whats in the can, coke doesnt do that and its full of ****e - the red bull cola tastes good too

Schism · 02-05-2008 6:57pm

Have to say I like it, tastes like cola Mr.freeze. Drank a four pack of it last night at about 11.30, was up till 6 after...

02-05-2008 6:59pm

I tried it today and it reminded me of that Jolt cola years ago.

Mmm.. memories.

Blasphemy. Jolt was the best cola ever.

donutface · 02-05-2008 9:34pm

UCC still has Jolt cola, i was living on it for most of my maths lectures! And I agree, this redbull stuff is utter crap, I have absolutely no idea how this even got past quality testing before it got to the market!

Kintarō Hattori · 03-05-2008 1:47am

Tried it today and while it wasn't incredible it wasn't too bad. If they keep it at the 99c price I can see myself buying it again.

It really is very disappointing, i would have expected better then syrupy mr Freeze. Back to the drawing board methinks.

LegacyUser · 06-05-2008 7:17pm

I think your all mental. This product is absolutely gorgeous.

LegacyUser · 06-05-2008 7:19pm

Plus it blows your head off when you drink it with Vodka...i'm told...have not done it myself yet...

bitemybanger · 06-05-2008 8:10pm

Ha cool, i came in here to start the same thread:cool:

Got a can today and was hugely disapointed, it tastes exatly like the little bottles of realy cheap cola called Score you used to get at every street party or birthday party when you were a kid:mad:

What about Coca-Cola Vanilla? I thought that was amazing :cool:

Notorious · 06-05-2008 8:51pm

It may not taste amazing, but it tastes a million times better than the original Red Bull.

TerrorFirmer · 09-05-2008 12:13am

Drinking a four pack of it now. Exam tomorrow that I've not really even ever attended the relevant module, let alone studied for the exam. Long night.

Not great stuff. Tastes a bit strange....not fizzy enough or something.

Mossy Monk · 09-05-2008 12:16am

I had a smaple this evening and was mildly impressed.

TerrorFirmer · 09-05-2008 7:34am

Well I managed to drink 2 cans, couldn't manage a third. Rotten stuff after a few mouthfuls. Feel sick now; thought of drinking another mouthful of the stuff makes me want to puke. Drank some coke, all is well.

Would never buy again.

IamMetaldave · 13-05-2008 1:31pm

Just tasted it, I like it. Don't think it's near as bad as some people are making it out to be..

I agree, 2 for €2 in Topaz. Anywhere know of better prices?

Umaro · 13-05-2008 2:41pm

Had a can of it just now, I liked it. Whether I'd buy again at the prices the shop was charging is unlikely, I can see it becoming pretty popular as a mixer though so I may try it that way someday.

Creamy Goodness · 13-05-2008 3:10pm

2 for €2 in esso as well. well in bray anyways, not too sure about the others.

Red Bull products do nothing for me.. since the night I ended up in A&E with healt palpatations due to excessive use of the Red Bull product

That sounds like it "did something" for you alright! You're not meant to drink more than 2 cans in a 24 hr period!

Has less caffeine than the original stuff so it wont give you the same "wings"

syklops · 13-05-2008 4:19pm

How many cigarettes do you smoke a day?

I am sure all the people in here who say it tastes nice are >20 a day people.

Jolt is still available. It tastes ok, but you dont drink it for the taste you drink it for the kick. Red Bull is the same. It goes well with Jager but even then you only drink it for the kick.

This was the most putrid stuff I have ever tasted. It had a cheap flavour to it, and I am sure it will fail. If you want something that tastes nice, you drink coke/pepsi/Dr Pepper. If you need caffeine you drink Jolt/Red Bull(or you use caffiene pills/face cream). Don't try to mix the two.

My Mother(works as a flavourist) tasted it and she said it smelt like the flavour had oxidised. This is probably due to the lack of preservatives, artificial or other wise.

As was said before, E numbers have a number because they have been tested and are carefully regulated. Quality control is very high for E Numbers and there is high traceability on them. The Mustard Seeds could have come from anywhere.

Red Bull Cola???
