    The first time I tried Red Bull was indeed after seeing it in 2097, I had never heard of it before. I was so bad at the game then I figured an increase in my reaction speed would help. All it did was make me need to pee more. Very useful.

    I'm pretty sure it was in WipE'out" (at least on saturn) too, because that's what first made me aware of it.
    I originally thought red bull was a made-up thing for wipeout, so when I first saw it in a shop I was like OMGWTFBSHAX and bought some. it wasn't available here till about a year after I first saw it in game.
    These days it's still my favourite of all the energy drinks that are available here.
    Sadly though the bottles here recently changed in size from 330ml to 250ml, so it's now the same size as the cans but for ~50c more
    And did other countries have the maximum daily intake change a couple years ago from 5 cans a day to 2? The recipe didn't change, only the recommended maximum cans per day

    yup. i had no idea what redbull was untill i saw it in xl... now i'm immune to caffine. games combined with my 2000-2004 stint in the "rave" scene saw to that...

    granted, here in the states our version of redbull is watered down considerably. i did get some from a psytrance party that was imported from thailand and it was all syrupy and stuff, good kick though.

    now i just mix my redbull with skyy vodka ^_^

    Yeah, thats right. I was too young to be drinking 'energy enhancers' but i remember thinking sony and psygnosis were taking over the world.
    Now im hooked on the stuff.
    There was even a poster on the fridge it was in that said 'Improve reaction times!'
    Thinking about this makes me want to try WipEout while drinking red bull. Hmm.

    Not really (particulary the lite version, ewww), but with cigarettes it's different. Better imo, but that's up to debate. Red Bull is pretty syrupy in taste (not texture) but it has it's own taste that I can't really explain. If you have had Red Bull, it's easy to understand the taste. Because it's not as sickly as I make it out to be, lol.

    Personally, I enjoy Red Bull for it's energy boost, but the drink's taste I do quite find I have a tongue for.
    So I'm going back on what I said and now saying that it tastes pretty good (If a bit sweet)

    Never had the chance to drink Red Bull and play Wipeout XL at the same time - wouldn't that be complicated though? Then again, that's what bendy straws were invented for XD But it did inspire me to get a hold of a Red Bull. Of course, when I first played Wipeout XL, it wouldn't have been good for me at that age. X_X

    I don't really know if it's good for you at any age I drink it nevertheless.
