    RedBull is European/Austrian and the (more) original thing anyway

    Those taste like metal and are trying to buy Austrian and German football, though.

    I usually just go with the sugar free local store brand, which is MUCH cheaper, tastes better, has just as much caffeine, taurine etc, and is produced in a country with better regulations (Denmark).

      It’s always just overpriced sugar water with caffeine and some stuff like taurin, vit b and so on

      It’s never really good for one anyway, but yeah, drink whatever tastes ok for you and works good enough

      I’ve gone though some store brands, but I’m always coming back to the classic RedBull.
      Monster never really was my taste - but because of that, I also didn’t try that much different ones.

      At the moment, I’m more happy with an occasional energy sniff and just a coke or water

        I tend to go with the sugar free version unless I’m looking for a boost while burning 1000+ calories on my exercise bike, but yeah, you’re otherwise right heh
