Red Bull Cola

Smcgie

Seriously what's with this? Its tastes exactly like the cola you can buy in lidi for 20c.

My local shop was giving it away for free because they couldn't sell it. Does anyone here like the stuff??

Contains mace don't ya know.

I had it once when I got it for free off a Red Bull person. My initial thought was "Wow! free stuff!"

Two mouthfulls later I threw it in the bin.

They were giving it out free at all the delis in town (What town!?) with sandwiches all last year, saw lots of people not even bother take it. It's supposed to be "all natural" ingredients, Pepsi have tried something similar with Pepsi RAW.

I really like it, my sister got a free case last year and I drank the lot

sorrywhat

Is it just Cola? Or is it cola flavoured red bull and makes you go bonkers?

I love the stuff. Devestated when the local shop stopped stocking it. Found some in Athlone when I was heading to Galway at the weekend. Sweet. Bought loads to stock my fridge!

It tastes like Cola bottles. I know Cola bottles are meant to taste like cola but you know what I mean.

Cola?? Nuts!

bladespin

It's so awful words can't describe, the after taste lasts ages too :eek:

Peteemax

Love normal red bull but i hate red bull Cola

kryogen

it tastes like big foots cock, dont ask me how i know

Naikon

It's alright.

Wazdakka

It tastes like bubbly, brown, smegma.

How could the red bull marketing dept get it that wrong??

PeakOutput

eh it was given away for free because they got it for free in the begining to market it for about 2 months you could get it for free

i like it it apparently has the same caffeine as red bull but it is all natural ingredients . dosnt taste amazing but i dont drink coffee so its how i get my caffeine hit when i need it

Interesting link URL. "Red Bull's New Cola: A Kick from Cocaine?" the article says. Then "According to this analysis, the 0.13 micrograms of cocaine per can of the drink does not pose a serious health threat — you'd have to drink 12,000 L of Red Bull Cola for negative effects to be felt".

So - they use coca leaf as flavouring, but extract the cocaine chemical first, like all colas. There is still a tiny bit left, and if you drink a swimming pool of the stuff that'd be bad for you.

More bad science scaremongering in the media.

I got a free can too..
I would sooner lick my own armpit before I'd have another can of that stuff!

There's one you can buy in the health stores with spring water,raw sugar etc all natural (I forget the name).
It tastes pretty decent (my taste buds wouldn't be a rich as all you coca-cola kids, though).

i've had one sitting on my desk in work now for about a year. In fact, if i look around the office, there are alot of them sprinkled around the place. The local shop was giving them away for free so everyone got them and there where only a few brave people who drank them, sensible people who dumped them, and hoarders who kept them on thier desk.

So we can just take it that you have tasted big foots cock. Cool.

Plus you'd probably pee for a year straight. This reminds me of the "Solpadeine contains HEROIN" panic a few years back.

Coca leaf tea is actually pretty nice, and there's a nice taste of cola in this. The main problem is that to get caffeine in it the natural way they add coffee beans to the mix, which just tastes awful.

Also I'm blaming one of the worst hangovers I've had on this stuff. I was groggy but mostly fine until I had one of these, then I felt by turn sick, slightly caffeinated and totally useless.

I know you said not to ask......but!

Also is it true, you know, about the big feet thing?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Red Bull Cola is better than Coke and Pepsi. Coke is horrible unless it's really cold and then it's just flavourless. And nothing at all goes better with spiced rum than Red Bull Cola.

ScumLord

From what I remember it was quite nice the one time I tried it. I just don't bother with red bull products as I've no interest in paying over the odds to fund their massive advertising budget.

Red bull cola is horrible. Shops have been trying to get rid of it since the summer. Didn't even think it was around any more.

Giving them out free on the street was an incredibly dumb move,tbh (that's what you do when your product is nice). If they had never had given them away free, more people would have bought them in shops before realising it was horrible= more profits for them.

Re: melted mr.freezes, i think you're confusing red bull cola with jolt cola.

rainbowdrop

Red Bull Cola just tastes like really, really cheap cola. Like the 49c for 2 litres own brand stuff that you wouldn't touch with a 20ft barge pole.

Normal Red Bull, on the other hand, is fcuking savage. My favourite drink. Gives me wiiings (and an empty purse) when I drink it with vodka on a night out.....:D

here.from.day.1

Seems to be alot of misconception about it.

Red Bull Cola is made from all natural ingredients and is not, as you might assume, a can of Coca Cola with Red Bull in it.

Its not as sweet as regular cola, I quite like it. The Pepsi RAW is very similar with a bit less of an after taste.

Its nothing like the cheap supermarket colas as there is no gassy chemically taste off it. It does actually taste like the Cola Mr Freeze melted!

According to this analysis, the 0.13 micrograms of cocaine per can of the drink does not pose a serious health threat — you'd have to drink 12,000 L of Red Bull Cola for negative effects to be felt — but it was enough to cause concern.

It's not enough to ever affect anyone in any way whatsoever unless they've died of diabetes long ago, but they decide to worry about it anyway.
Good game on overreacting as soon as drugs are mentioned, Germany.

For those wondering, a microgram is a millionth of a gram, the reason you may not have heard of it is because a microgram of something has never had any effect on anything at all.

admiralofthefleet

red bull is the most vile creation ever, everything to do with it should be encased in 500 tonnes of concrete and dumped into the irish sea

GavRedKing

I like it, nice taste and goes well with jagermeister when Ihad it during the summer.

5starpool

I've never even heard of it. Red Bull is disgusting anyhow, so I would not exactly be lining up to buy another red bull product.

Thats exactly what i thought when i tried it. I got a free can as well when they were promoting it in college. I took a few sips, remarked to my friends how it tastes like the cola Mr.Freeze, and then threw it in the bin.

Savage stuff.

Carfentanil

Carfentanil or Carfentanyl (R33799) is an analogue of the popular synthetic opioid analgesic fentanyl, and is one of the most potent opioids known (also the most potent opioid used commercially). Carfentanil was discovered in 1976 by Janssen Pharmaceutica. It has a quantitative potency approximately 10,000 times that of morphine and 100 times that of fentanyl, with activity in humans starting at about 1 μg.
