Red Bull Cola is Putrid

Today’s mini post is sponsored by my sincere dislike of Red Bull cola. Normally I’m not a guy who buys into advertising. I wear stuff with no labels showing and consciously block out all legal sky graffiti known as billboards (People close to me should see some irony here).

But after seeing so much hype about Red Bull Cola, I’d thought I would give it a try. Hey, I like Red Bull.

Short review: I would rather die from dehydration in a desert then even drinking that stuff again.

The company tried to blend the very unique flavor of RedBull, which is already very sweet, with a bitter natural cola. The result is a horrific liquid that is only suitable to be used to degrease engines or clean bath tubs.

Has anybody else tried this stuff? What are your thoughts?

    I would drink it rather than dying of dehydration in the desert, but I would definitely drink my own urine first.

  2. Jerry says:

    Now I have to try one. Great viral advertising gimmick…

  3. Dan says:

    Oh hell no… This isn’t viral at all. It’s terrible. Don’t waste your cash. Do you self and hit yourself in the toe with a hammer its less pain this drink.

    …and WHY is this a worthy blog post?

  5. Dan says:

    Because it was something I wanted to write about.

    It’s his blog, he can do whatever he want |:-\

    but yes, i had the opportunity to try a red bull at an event and i just *cough* threw it away. I’ve never had an energy drink except one sip of my friend’s long time ago. just seemed like super sweet sprite to me…

  7. Luis says:

    Gotta try it now … I hadn’t even heard of it before this post.

  8. RP says:

    If I were dying of thirst in the desert I would definitely drink this. But only so that I had something to urinate which I could drink to take the taste away…

    Red Bull Cola is the worst thing I have ever put in my mouth. I spit out the first sip and demanded my money back. This could ruin the Red Bull name.

    Yeah, we saw the ad somewhere and drove around to like 3 or 4 stores to try and find it. Only to discover it was pretty nasty. :/ Somehwhat related (maybe) I liked the coffee-infused Coke Black. Which they had produced it in liter bottles. :)

      Why does everyone drink this even with the warning? Dave SHAME on you for driving to 3 or 4 stores.
