Yes, sugar free is a light blue colour type of a can but it`s taste pretty vile compare to the original can. Yes we do get slightly bigger can but hardly any gas at all! But why is that?:?
Cos, I do normally drink a slightly bigger can of Irn-Bru 32 but it`s the same taste than the original size, so that`s why I`m confused for Red Bull!.
stevie:)
I ve drunk those big cans of redbull ( twice size than normal ones ) while i was in usa, i haven t checked the caffeine ratio for them but was extremely surprised discovering there were other energy drinks and same size as the big cans of RB containing over than 180 mg of caffeine.Quote:

I haven't tried Red Bull yet, but 2097 has certainly given me more than a little urge to since I've started playing it again. :)
Hmm, i drank lots (9 cans, so just short of 2 liters) of vodka and redbull in one night. The relaxant effects of the vodka and the stimulant effects of the active ingredients in the red bull counteracted eachother.Quote:

I dunno what that is, but if it has more than 12 letters, its gotta be good, right? It actually doesnt affect me anymore, apart from the time i drank it with lucozade. Never again.
But i did find random cravings for red bull when playin 2097, or just after playing it. Subabliminal messaging, i guess.
I had some relentless today, great! And I didn't use any of the energy high, yay!
Ugh, don't mix Red Bull and alcohol - your heartbeat = woooooo
i found out why UK red bull is so weak as compared to the european version, an 11 yr old allegedly died after drinking a can, so they had to tone down the caffiene and taurine content. Its possible that he had a condition that made him sensitive to it, but seeing as it went undetected for 11 years, its difficult to tell whether anyone else could have it.
Yay for relentless!!!
Red Bull is the only energy drink on the market that gives me enough jolt to stay awake. I have tried many others but non work as well as Red Bull.
I say that but a Redeye from Starbucks will do the trick. But it's not really an energy drink.
And no, 2097/XL did not inspire me to drink it. Actually, I am not even sure if Red Bull was available in my part of the US when XL was released.
It did for me... not the game itself, but all you guys here in the forum... and that was a good thing, cause it's my favorite energy drink now... and whenever I drink it, Wipeout absolutely has to come to my mind, their's no way around it!!! It give me the rush similar to the game itself...
I'm with lance on tea. It's the only energy drink for me. Not only do I think it tastes better (and is probably better for you) it is the ONLY drink that gives me any energy. Coffee, energy drinks, colas do absolutely nothing for me. Well energy drinks can tweak me, get me all jittery and s**** but they don't give me any energy.
One day at work I was dead tired so my boss gave me a red bull, I was half asleep all day twitching like I was having a seizure. (Funny thing, that was the day after I saw that movie Crank, witch had some product placement with red bull too.)
Wow i remember making this topic a few years ago! good to see it alive again lol.
Now i dont have 3 cans a day, just 1. i must hav spent soo much on the stuff, but i work now as well so its only my money.
Found a new drink i like - mountain dew. Its not available in the UK since 1995 or something, so i get a load shipped over. Lovely!
I remember the old days when i was getting into modern art - i would have the wipeout 1 soundtrack playing, a can of red bull, and some TDR stuff in front of me to copy ideas from!
Look at my wall covered with TDR stuff..

Wow looking so cool on the wall :+
Nice posters!! I was searching on the www for tdr posters the other day, hoping for some random W3O memorabilia to show up. No luck.:frown:
The only wo poster I've got is the one that came with WO64.
Woah that's awsome! Drinks can really give some inspiration.
I drink tons of the stuff. I don't drink alcohol much (and can't at the minute due to meds) so I usually have RedBull when I'm out instead.
Relentless is good, but I have a feeling the caffeine content of RedBull is much higher. Good stuff. Also, I don't think I would have made it through any of my education without it!
I saw a huge can of Red Bull at the store today. It was the size of a Monster or Rockstar beverage. Brain seizures anyone? :robot
ouch, enjoy your soon to become apparent health complication from having an overexposure to taurine.Quote:

X_X
I don't really know if it's good for you at any age :) I drink it nevertheless.
Red Bull supposedly hit the US market in 1997, but I don't recall seeing it til nearly 99 or 2000 (could even have been later, not sure). Prior to that, I loved XL and when I played it, I just figured "Red Bull" was some kind of fake in-game advertising to sort of build up the atmosphere of the game.
Then I saw a can in a store for the first time and went apeshit because I didn't know it was real.
I've tried other energy drinks but none of them ever actually tasted good (ugh, Rockstar, Monster, they're all retarded). I honestly like Red Bull's taste. As far as functionality goes, I don't have one arbitrarilly to stay awwake, I do drink one if I'm gonna be doing something that requires strong focus along with quick and accurate response time... lately that tends to be Wipeout, and that's about it :P
I also like it with Svedka Citron Vodka; quite a common drink when I visit a good friend of mine, and I'll spare the details of what usually follows after a couple of those :P
I drink the sugar-free version.
Pic: 'tis a beautiful thing indeed.
Personally, the 8.3 ounce Red Bull can is just the right size for a drink that potent. Now I'm seeing them being phased out (at least in every service station I went to on the trip to upstate NY) for the 16 ounce can, IMHO, that's way too much.
Also, has anyone tried the old, old-school incarnation of Red Bull in the stubby, golden can?
