Can Text:

The can is blue and silver in alternating colored squares with two fighting red bulls in the center. I wonder why they didn't call it Red Bulls since there are two on the logo.

Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
'Vitalizes Body and Mind' with taurine. The other ingredients are pretty basic. Red Bull claims to improve performance, concentration, reaction time, and stimulate the metabolism. It sounds like a lot, but pretty much anything with caffeine in it will do the same, it's just common sense.

Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
I'm not a huge fan of Red Bull, mostly because I hate those stupid commercials. I was surprised to find that the flavor was not terrible. It made my mouth pucker, but it didn't taste sour of bitter. I don't know what that means, but it seemed important. It certainly didn't improve my concentration or performance, nor did it give me much of a boost at all.

Jason's Review:
After all the hype about Red Bull, and I don't really care what you can mix it with at the club, Red Bull is an average beverage with an average kick of energy. It tastes a little like sparkling kiwi fruit (real kiwi not that stuff they call kiwi in most "kiwi-strawberry" beverages). It doesn't really do anything for my taste buds until it hits the back of my tongue.

The 4 pack for $7 is about the same amount of beverage as 1 monster xxl, which really hurts its value rating. Since many sodas are $2 for around 8oz. though, I'd say it's average. If I guzzle one really fast, the energy boost is pretty good, but then I have more energy to think about how I'm thirsty already.

Nice flavor, decent kick, but OVERPRICED! And for the person who posted below me, red bull tastes NOTHING like monster. i think something is wrong with your taste buds. go see a doctor.

this drink is horrible. It has the worst aftertaste, gives me no energy what so ever, and its pricey for an energy drink.

Overrated and overpriced, but not bad in the 8 oz

Red Bull is the OG of energy drinks and will always be #1. Every other company attempted to copy them and none compare..everything about Red Bull blows up the competition.

Chelsea on 2008-04-07 19:44:36 said:
I LOVE Red Bull. I mean;; I don't care about the energy rating because like;; caffeine makes me tired for some reason;; but like I don't like Monster because it doesn't have like a kick to it. It's just like a carbonated beverage. Red Bull;; is different. It's by far the best energy drink out there. You can't compare it to others. The other ones can't come close to the taste of Red Bull. Red Bull shouldn't be classified as just an energy drink. It should have its own category. I know that sounds like bull, but, pshh, I think that.

Red Bull is #1 and will always be. The ingredients are different than Monster and everything else. Taurine is naturally occuring..you can also find it in baby food. And who really needs a 16 oz can. If you check out a Monster can it says servings 2. Funny how they only have the large cans in the US...bigger is NOT always better.

chris on 2008-04-10 20:23:35 said:
red bull is the original energy drink that was here before any other energy drink, at least the first one that was popular, red bull started the energy drink trend. now theres like 100 different brands and some brands are ridiculous, wth is steven segals or whatever, why doesn't he just put a picture of his face on the can?

Nicole on 2008-04-14 02:45:03 said:
TOTALLY my favorite energy drink. My favorite taste in the world actually. I've tried many and none can compare. I drink one of the jumbo ones (has a signature on the side) every day for lunch at school and it keeps me awake the rest of the day no problem without making me jittery. I drank one before I went on for a commercial audition and they loved my "bubby personality" so much I got the job! All you haters are just jealous you can't be as awesome as Red Bull!

luv the taste...expensive tho

Red Bull does what it is made to do. I drink one red bull before every work out and it gives me the energy to do more reps and more sets than if I were to workout without the beverage. I only drink one a day and don't recommend excess consumption of the product. I do however recommend purchasing by the case (for the daily drinkers) for an overall savings.
