If you don't know what Red Bull is, you really are not in touch with young people.

[Colobo]

Energy drinks are HUUUUGE in almost every college campus on the nation and are advertised in almost every youth-oriented TV program. Companies send people with free samples to college campuses like USF and they GIVE OUT cans of Rockstar, Full Throttle and Red Bull so that students get hooked up on them. And although I think they taste like crap, pretty big numbers of people under 30 drink those like if they were water.

Hell, MY PARENTS ARE 53 AND 59 AND THEY KNOW WHAT RED BULL IS- IT'S ADVERTISES IN TELEMUNDO. So, you gotta be somewhat out of touch with young Americans if you don't know what it is.

1. Kick.

2. I'm too distraught over Hannah Montana to worry about Red Bull.

[Maddy McCall]

What's a Hannah Montana?

:P

[Radical Activist]

3. I got one for free on a college campus last weekend.

Yes, Hillary has a generation gap problem. She also has a problem with being isolated from real people for the last 16 years.

[sandnsea]

4. And?

:shrug:

[Colobo]

9. If it's fair to call Obama elitist and out of touch for telling the truth...

[sandnsea]

13. The truth about Red Bull?

My kids drink rockstar - did Obama say something wrong about Red Bull?

[Colobo]

16. Hillary was asked about Red Bull and she didn't know what it was.

[sandnsea]

20. Thank you, I missed that

Although I don't think not knowing about energy drinks will force her off the stage.

[emilyg]

37. I didn't either till I read your post.

[Cali_Democrat]

5. Hmmmmm, I'm pretty young (27) but I've never heard of...

Full Throttle. Good shit or what?

:shrug:

[tishaLA]

30. It sucks

Stick with Zero Carb RockStar

[apocalypsehow]

6. Yeah, a lot of my students live on it. But what's the deal about Red Bull? Did I miss something?

:shrug:

7. If you don't know about Postum, you really aren't in touch with

seniors either. So your point is...?

[MADem]

35. Bwahahahahahaha!

A+++++++++++++

[kid a]

8. I'm 43 - started seeing Red Bull in stores in 2001 - do i just pay better attention

than the average bear?

[casus belli]

27. Since it's been around since the mid 90's.

I'd say not. :)

[MadBadger]

10. I think its worse that she doesnt know the name of her state's Major League Soccer team.

Not in touch with NY, thats what it sounds like.

[Colobo]

12. She doesn't even know how to operate a coffee machine. Like Papa Bush

and the scanner.

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. Some people simply too busy to pay attention to crap like red bull.

[BlueIdaho]

14. Is that the stuff that comes out of the hoses

at that place where I see all the drivers standing by the sides of their parked cars?

[Evergreen Emerald]

15. Just when I think you guys can't find anything more absurd to justify your hate

you come up with this. I shake my head and laugh.

[KingFlorez]

17. I agree

This is really ridiculous.

[rug]

22. If they start bashing Yoo-Hoo, I'm alerting.

[QC]

26. They always manage to go just a little bit lower.... n/t

[MADem]

36. Yep, she's toast with that crew if she can't name the line up on ADULT SWIM, too! NT

[evlbstrd]

18. This is Red Bullshit.

[ccharles000]

19. I am young and I don't drink red bull or anything like it.

[backscatter712]

21. I prefer Bawls.

Much better tasting IMHO. Red Bull tastes kind of nasty.

[laststeamtrain]

23. It's sugar water, isn't it?

Another product that cost a penny to make, sells for a buck & is addictive.

Here's what an article in Wired says: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/magazine/15-07/st_redbull

"It's the Red Bull generation
comin' at you, goin' strong"

It's Pepsi, now with more caffeine & a smattering of vitamins & a bunch of unverifiable claims.

Great.

[Bobbieo]

24. I suffer from low blood sugar. Would this stuff help? I was advised to drink

non-diet soft drinks. No, I am not a diabetic!!

[Hutzpa]

25. WTF is the point of this thread

:shrug:

[Catherine Vincent]

28. I prefer the Sugarfree Monster drink. nt

[PBS Poll-435]

31. Me too.

That black & blue can means bliss!

(especially in the 20oz package!)

[Blue_In_AK]

29. Oh, I see....

Sort of like how "black beauties" and so on were HUUUGE on college campuses back in my day. NOW I get it.

[Solon]

32. Tonight I sold 3 of them, none to people under 40, and two of the guys were at least 50...

Also, they are weak drinks anyways, if you want to stay awake, pop 2 stackers and down them with Jolt. :P

[Frank Booth]

33. I wish I didn't know what Red Bull tastes like.

Dimetapp tastes better.

[MADem]

34. I am old. I found out what it was from younger people in the airline industry, in college, and so

forth.

Wouldn't have crossed my radar otherwise. Had one, once. Thought it tasted like shit.

I've seen the "Red Bull Gives You Wings" ad, but not lately.

Personally, I don't think it is a hanging offense not to know what Red Bull is. But that's just me.

38. It's not a youth vs age issue, it's a doing one's own shopping issue.

If you've been in a store in the last ten years, you have seen their product placement. They made sure of it.
