hobbes4star 0 #1 August 16, 2002 here sit at my desk finishing off the first of two red bulls, and i start to think to myself. why are all energy drinks only 8.3 Fl OZ?? if they would just make them in 12 or 16 OZ cans than i wouldn't have to buy two of them every morning. Does anyone know why they only make them in 8.3oz cans. is it because you are supposed to get a big rush from so little or is it to charge 2.00 a can and you get less?? i can't wait for the weekend 9hrs to go...if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right?

narcimund 0 #2 August 16, 2002 Fresh young junior marketing man at Red Bull to his boss, "Boss, I had a great idea. Get this. We could put Red Bull in larger cans, then the customers wouldn't have to buy two any more!" Boss to fresh young junior marketing man: "You're fired."

Scoby 0 #10 August 16, 2002 Some enterprising individual could make a ton of money just by marketing on of those drinks at, say, 99 cents a can. You know it only costs a nickel to make anyway. I did see something cool at the store the other day, though...a 12 oz. energy drink with 6% alcohol. I'd pay $1.99 for that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RodeStier 0 #11 August 16, 2002 Here in holland you can just buy 1.5 Liter bottles of Red October, it's exactly the same stuff ass Red Bull. Costs around €4, which is almost the same as 4.00. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #12 August 16, 2002 Rockstar energy drink comes in big cans. I'm not sure how it differs in ingredients, but it's a lot bigger. I only drink 180 energy drink, though. Given my morbid sense of humor, and my particular parachuting discipline, it just seems appropriate to offer everyone a 180 before a jump. On the other hand, one of my friends once pointed out (during a long hike), "you can drink four red bulls, or take one little pill--same price, but the pill works better." -- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scoby 0 #13 August 16, 2002 What pill is it that only costs 4 cans of red bull? The one I'm thinking of costs more like 10... OTOH, a couple of no-doz or a metabolift gives exactly the effect of multiple cans of red bull. I find I don't need any sort of extra energy when I'm going to jump, because the prospect of jumping out of a plane makes me wide awake... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, so I'm at the gas station today and decided to get the Red Bull....YUCK. I thought it smelled and tasted like watered down NyQuill. To each their own, does "Go Fast" taste any better? Although I have not seen it around I don't think. If I remember correctly there is a thread somewhere from not too long ago on this subject. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #16 August 16, 2002 Go fast is SO much better then Red Bull in the taste thing. I think the reason its 8. whatever is becasue they could'nt find anyone willing to make shot glass size containers that could be sold for $2 each....Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seamonkey 0 #18 August 16, 2002 I have drank pretty much all the energy drinks and I think Go Fast tastes the best. I think the absolute worst tasting one is orange 180. I think Amp sucks pretty bad too, but that's just me. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
