I don't really watch sport, but it's quite shocking at how well-known the brand became, within a relatively short amount of time. Makes me wonder how they started up - Seeing as you can't have large advertisements when you've just come into the market..Unless the company behind it was already rich..

Is Red Bull another one of the Coca-Cola Company's doings?

Most popular things seem to lead to the market becoming overloaded with similar products..Once again, I refer to the million damn cheap vampire books that suddenly manifested in the large bookstores..

Yer I think it is like a spawn of coke maybe

Red Bull is made by an Austrian company. The drink itself was inspired by a Thai drink...

On the matter of Coca-Cola, it's interesting to read a bit about it -> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca_cola
I think that the reason for starting such an an outbreak of popularity is mainly due to the fact that it was firstly sold as medicine an that it contained cocaine. Those two facts cause an addiction and even later without those two, the habit of drinking coke remains... ramble ramble :silly:

I like to discuss the subject of Coca Cola... I know it contained cocaine (which they never told us when we had an english class on the subject at the age of 15...), and still it is addictive. I've heard of people (and seen on tv) that live a good, healthy life - yet they can't stop drinking coke. They wake up in the middle of night and gotta have their coke...

It's just fun to think about...


And yes, after Red Bull there has come very many energy drinks... guess they only showed how much the people wanted them. Before we only had coffe, and not everyone like coffe...

Ugh! Bad memory coming back to me!

My ex-boyfriend would wake up and the first thing he would drink is a pint of ice-cold Coca-Cola. He never drank water or fruit juice either - Only cola since he was..About 13-19 and still going. He'd get through one 2 litre bottle, daily. It was truly disgusting.

(This is the part where I hope no one else does the same).
