Absolutely true regarding price. In fact, there's a place around where I live that sells a lot of EDs 2/$3 and I never buy those from any other place unless they have nearly the same price or it's a reasonable price and I'm in the area.

As for Red Bull I see less and less people drinking it these days compared to just about every other ED brand out there. Out here Full Throttle and Rockstar are cheapest and right now those brands probably claim about 50% market share out here right now and with the typical market share of AMP, Monster and NOS that's actually extremely impressive for those brands and they're picking up a lot of old-time RB drinkers. I like to think of RB and the cheaper EDs to the '08 elections: the people who like things the way they are got pwnd by people who like change and trying out new things.
