Yer doin it wrong!
i think people are underrating this drink because they arent using it like its supposed to be used. Yea, the price is pretty high, but its not something you are supposed to go through as fast as other drinks; this is supposed to be used when you actually NEED the benefits of RedBull. Personally, I make a four pack last about 2 weeks because I use it when I go to the gym and do endurance exercises. This stuff actually helped me lose a few pounds. If its not working for YOU, then your doin it WRONG.
I used to be a fan of Red Bull...in moderation. 1/2 can and that's all. I kid you not, after a venue that i was attending ran out of my personal favorite Killer Buzz (new to the market...TRY IT, you'll love it!), i decided to settle for red bull. huge mistake...after two days, i still felt like it was running through my veins. couldn't sleep, felt like a crack head. grinding my teeth and wanting to punch everybody i saw in the face. NEVER AGAIN!
Red Bull is not bad..for liquid gold. Its also not the best i've had. It tastes almost like rockstar but has a slight salty water taste in it. The energy was actually pretty good for the eight ounce can. I definately will not buy it again for more than 2 dollars for the smallest can. Stick with rockstar...

This drink is all bull
This dring is not only a tast that you only like after the 3rd to 5th time but it is something full of suger and carbs and things I would not like in my body!
I guess I just got caught up in the hype and had to try this stuff. Wow. It is bad. It doesn't work. It's overpriced. The commercials are stupid. Other than that it's great though.
Everybody decided to jump on the Redbull bandwagon when it first came out, for the options in energy drinks were slim. Then, the market became saturated with Red Bull, and larger, tastier drinks were developed. Still, the "Red Bull marks" stuck with their urine-flavored drink like a stubborn mule.
Here it is in a nutshell. Through heavy marketing, a nice can, and what used to be a "coolness" factor, Red Bull was on top. But today, everyone cries about a medicinal aftertaste, and you still drink this? Red Bull is your bare bones generic flavor that is not refreshing, delicious, or addictive. People still drink it because of the aforementioned marketing, that's it.
There are many other drinks out there. My advice: Don't choose the slop in the pile. Red Bull is a below average tasting, annoying energy drink in an 8 oz can. Try another energy drink, please.
Final Analysis: Red Bull should get its wings clipped.
I'd been having Monsters for some time now, and I thought I'd pay homage to the original energy drink and try one. I love the can size and shape, and packaging, it loks great and it's just the right amount. I also like the uniqe shpaed pull tab and smaller opening. When I first tasted it, it had a pretty strong medicinal taste, but by the time I finished the can, I had goten used to it and liked it. It's sort of an acquired taste. It's also much healthier then many 12 oz counterparts, so I;ve found my favorite energy drink. Give it a try!
Red BUll is definatly over rated!! MAd Croc Energy Drink slaps Red BuLL in the face more than 3x,haha. Forget having that bitter after taste that Red Bull gives!!!! This is gonna blow up bigg time!!!!!
Alone Red Bull really takes time for most people to stomach. It was much like learning to enjoy wine and beer when growing up. Mixed with Vodka however makes Red Bull nearly magical. Not only do you get the buzz of Alcohol you also get the energy and staying power of the energy drink. It also has such a strong taste that is covers up the Vodka very well. On New years eve for instance I actually stayed up all the way until the end! This is a wonderful classic energy drink, no gimmick, just full bodied flavor that makes a great mixer. The only reason I wont give it 5 stars is the price per 8oz can. But if you shop at a wholesale store, I found you can pick up a 24 pack for around 31 bucks.
Needing to stay up and study, I triedd my first Red Bull last weekend. I have seen so many people drink them, I thought they can't be that bad. Wrong! That is definitely an acquired taste. The can said it increases concentration. All I can say it did was make me write the fastest I have every written in my life. And trust me, it was a feeling of being out of control. It was my first and last Red Bull. No more for me! To each his own.........Naked Juice is way better and all natural.
Red Bull, for me, is a luxury item that is only to be experienced on special occations - Friday nights while watching a good movie, on a bus trip to New York City, etc. I find that, whenever there is a Red Bull in my refrigerator, I will plan a time when I will consume it, and then struggle until that time to not. I love Red Bull, and I only gave it 4.5 stars instead of 5.0 because it's not as tasty when not ice cold, and because it's expensive for such a small amount of beverage.
