2. Personally, I think it sucks - big time! But you don't drink it for its
taste; you drink it for its kick. It really is a can-o-buzz...

5. It tastes like over-sweetened cough syrup to me.
And where is it $2 a can? Around here, in bars at least, it's like $3.50. I know people who swear by the stuff and chug it all the freakin' time, but I'm more of a cuppa joe in the morning and let it go type when it comes to stimulants.

Also, the very popular Red Bull and Vodka over ice makes people into seriously loud, amped-up assholes.

8. I agree...
tastes like carbonated cough syrup. I drink two cans before I go on stage. Packs quite a kick for a 138 lb. fella like myself. Lots o' fun. Red Bull and vodka is a sure fire recipe for drunken debauchery. Jesus, my head hurts just thinking about it.

11. I always thought that it tasted like the green Sweethearts candies.
Not worth the money or effort it will take to get the taste out of your mouth.

12. If you want a good energy soda, go for Bawls
Red Bull is okay, but has a weird aftertaste. Bawls is absolutely delicious.

I don't know if you guys have candy called Rockets down there (little chalky tablet type things) but it tastes like that to me.

15. They've Got A JAMMIN Web Site... Great Background Music DJ
It appears to be a live feed of high-energy music. (Appropriately enough, eh?)

16. It tastes better than a double latte to me
And at 2.00 it's a bit cheaper as well.

18. Tastes like hell, but if you've driven all the way to Baltimore
to see Joe Jackson, and you're falling asleep during the warm-up band, it's a better choice than alcohol....

/just sayin'

19. IMO it tastes a lot like cherry 7up.
And no, it is not worth the dough, but then again I would never pay for bottled water either.

24. I've never tried it because of the cost. If I want a jolt of caffeine,
I'll drink the whole pot! :hi:

25. It's not tasty but it really does work
Last week I had a couple of really long days. I drank a Red Bull and it woke me right up. It's got a ton of Vitamin B in it so it really isn't straight caffiene.

26. I like it, and it works
It's better than coffee. It has caffiene in it, but it seems to have something else.

I want to drink it every day, but it's an expensive habit.
