I use to work for RedBull and this is the most obnoxious claim I have ever heard. This is worst then the lady suing McDonalds for serving her hot coffee.

NuclearJACK Report post Posted October 10, 2014 Im not saying I agree with this lawsuit but the suit isn't that Red Bull doesnt give you actual wings. Its because "Even though there is a lack of genuine scientific support for a claim that Red Bull branded energy drinks provide any more benefit to a consumer than a cup of coffee, the Red Bull defendants persistently and pervasively market their product as a superior source of ‘energy’ worthy of a premium price over a cup of coffee or other sources of caffeine.” try telling people you drink 3 Red Bull per day vs 3 coffee/tea and see what reaction you get. Almost everyone thinks Red Bull has crazy amounts of caffeine when typically its no different then a coffee Also the plaintiff Benjamin Careathers is a lawyer...

When any direct to consumer in field marketing is done RedBull NEVER claims to have extreme levels of caffeine. When you work for RedBull they spend an extreme amount of time training their employess to ensure when you deal with customers you are able to educate them on why RedBull is RedBull and the secret sauce that makes it superior to all other energy drinks. The claim is bogus and the plaintiff is a tool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprite Report post Posted October 10, 2014 $13 mill is a dumb number anyways, I'm sure with all the people getting in on this we will all get checks for like $0.01 that no one will cash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanon Report post Posted October 10, 2014 $13 mill is a dumb number anyways, I'm sure with all the people getting in on this we will all get checks for like $0.01 that no one will cash.

Assman Report post Posted October 10, 2014 $13 mill is a dumb number anyways, I'm sure with all the people getting in on this we will all get checks for like $0.01 that no one will cash. I guess it depends on how many people check the 15 dollars in red bull products. That could equal like a 6 pack of the small cans. Basically free advertising. The whole thing is free advertising. THere's nothing that is really negative to redbull. I'll bet this is added to their advertising budget anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawr Report post Posted October 10, 2014 RedBull and the secret sauce that makes it superior to all other energy drinks. Is that the sauce that if one leaves a can of half finished redbull in a car overnight then the next day it smells like godzilla ate a chemical plant and puked in it? Seriously, that would be my lawsuit - whatever that smell is a product of, is not intended for consumption by anyone but godzilla.

I left an empty low carb monster in my car in Arizona and it took 3 days for the smell to go away, so I understand this.
