Red Bull Gives Dot Commers Wings...
from the get-real dept
I've been reading a ton of articles over the last year or so about the drink Red Bull (which I've still never tried). The marketing campaign ("Red Bull gives you wings..." done by cartoon characters) always confused me. Why would I want to drink some weird drink that gave cartoon characters wings? And then, there were all the weird rumors about the drink, and the fact that it seemed to be the mixer of choice at bars for people who seemed to feel the need to act cool. Now, it's apparently the drink for dot commers. The article goes through a lot of the rumors that have been talked about before, and points out that the drink is mostly hype - but that enough people believe it that they keep on drinking.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Shambles
TVR - tequila, vodka, red bull is amusing but tastes dreadful.
Champagne, vodka, red bull - costly & dumb waste of champagne but gets you drunk fairly quickly
