I've never heard of this Red Bull Cola stuff.

Do you mean that mustard seeds are an invisible ingredient or are they actually floating about in it like Goldschlager?

No mention of mustard here.

They are invisible but it seems a really weird thing to put in a cola

Yep, as phosphoric acid is one.

its sounds yucky!

Coca Cola concentrate has to be transported with a haz chem licence. Thats usually reserved for flamable liquids like gas and kerosane or any hazardous chemicals as the name suggests.

Drinking a can right now, hmmm tastes like liquid Mr Freeze's...tasty

Mencius

Work in a shop and got a free can of it off a rep, took one drink and threw it away, Its complete muck, apparently Pepsi are also bringing out one of these natural colas as well called Pepsi raw, It surly can't be as bad as red bull cola though.

This is not true. I worked with the stuff every day during my stint in the local cinema. It's nasty sticky stuff as concentrate, but won't do you any harm.

Does anyone else find it a little worrying that so many of us find the sound of those natural ingedients yucky but regularly consume stuff where the ingredients are a list of E numbers and acids? :rolleyes:

Haven't tried it myself yet but heard frrom friends that it's nice. Tasty or not, the ingredients do kinda make it sound like something a kid wipped up in the kitchen all on their own...

JIZZLORD

is this available nation wide?

If you drink enough of it, it probably will.

It's amazing how different it tastes before the carbonated water is added.

I had one there on Wednesday. Wasn't the May West at all at all.

Tasted more like a liquid fizzy cola bottle than actual cola.

It is true my friend, the unfinished concentrate does travel under haz chem licence when its exported to the EU, i am familliar with the company that transport it and all drivers need to have haz chem training in order to be able to tow a trailer containing the stuff and the trailer has to display Haz Chem plates.

The stuff you handle in the cinema is probably already diluted to a certain extent, the stuff going out on the continent is probably in its most concentrated form.

thats a good point, when i was reading the list of natural ingredients i was thinking YUCK! that stuff is full of sugar, yet id be happy to go out and buy a normal can of coke with all the e-numbers thrown in!

Red Bull... yuk!

I think this stuff is quite good, it has no phosphoric acid which is a major plus, and while it tasted weird initially, I have grown to like the stuff.

Believe me, unless they ship it initially in solid blocks, it doesn't come more concentrate than that! This is that state it is in before it goes through to machine to be watered down and carbonated. Any other ingredients must be in it before it it get's to that point obviously, otherwise it wouldn't be coke. Shipping it EU makes more sense though, as obviously it's shipped in huge quantities. But driving it around this country, no.

OK to start most things that go into food have an E number full stop e.g. Castor Oil is E1503 and Oxygen is E948 that is so it can classified easily. Red Bull Cola will also contain E numbers because *shock, horror* anything in it will probably have an E number classification they just use the long hand version instead of the shorter E number designation

Secondly Natural != good and Artificial != Bad. A naturally sourced product/chemical is more likely to have impurities in it whereas due to strict legislation any artificially created chemical will have to be very pure.

Finally everything is a chemical, oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, salt everything is either a pure chemical or a mixture of them. Chemicals are good Without there would be no way to make beer (or half the stuff you eat, drink or use in your everyday life).

I may give it a go if it tastes like Mr Freeze and cola sweets

I thought it tasted great. Nice to get a drink not loaded with sugar.

Ravage1616

Wouldn't be mad on this stuff myself!!

Surely the important question here is: how is it with a stiff pour of vodka and two cubes of ice??

Your both wrong. Coca Cola concentrate/syrup is what you Mirror handle in the cinema. Essentially the drink before carbonated water is added. Its a heavily diluted version with much more sugar added than you get in cans/bottles, hence the difference in taste.

Concertrate is not a hazardous chemical its shipped simply in sealed cylinders and can be handled by anyone.

The phosphoric acid that is used in coke is a highly toxic and hazardous chemical. This is mainly due to its corrosive properties. Its the acid on its own and not the coke ingredients that have to be handled with care. It has the same transporting and handling regulations as Liquid Nitrogen and is regularly used to degreese drilling sections of oil rigs. Once diluted, which it is in coke its reletively harmless although coke straight from a can will still strip rust off a car and disolve a tooth in 48 hours. It is also the highest cause of stomach ulcers known.

Oh yes I know all that - I just meant it's a bit funny that people think that list sounds yucky but most of us wouldn't even shrug if the list was in E numbers

THANK YOU! I'm sick of everyone constantly going on about "oh it's got loads of e numbers in it, it'll give you cancer" like old women. Anyone that's done junior cert f*cking science should know what you've just explained.

It's amazing with spiced rum. Got hammered on it last night, really nice.

Does anyone not care about scientific fact or are urban legends and common misconceptions something to base your life on?

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

seen this thread the other day and when i was in the shop a while ago i thought i'd try it, i agree with the lad who says it tastes like Cola mr freeze but with a kick... not gonna buy it again though...

JIZZLORD

some promo girls came into work yesterday with a heap of cans for all us staff. When i tried it i initially didnt like it but i warmed to it after a few more slurps. I'ts not bad but i'd hardly justify paying the 1.70 i seen a can for in the shop this mornintg.

think about the amount of country spring you could get for that

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

its a bit bigger than a normal red bull can though?355ml instead of 270ml ish?

JIZZLORD

aye, it's bigger. but it's super premium price is the killer.
me being a teh p00r student and all

During my 5 years workign in McDonalds for my sins, None of the coke (it comes in a very large wheeled container or other syrups had has chem stickers on them or the tucks they were delivered in. It's not pre-diluted and nothing is added until the c02 and water in the store.
