V or RedBull - Page 3

ANZACATTACK · 10th November 2007, 1:16 PM

I was going to say V but I have literally just been handed a chilled can of red bull, by a cute Redbull chick at SpringLan2.0, so my vote has been swayed.

She was even nice enough to hold the door open for me, so I could get my chair through the door. What a champ.

Agreed. Unlike most energy drinks, it actually has a real flavour, rather than simply being 'energy drink' flavoured.

V gets my vote because it's less chemically tasting and way cheaper than red bull, especially if you buy it at the supermarket.

Yeah V Berry rocks. I like red bull and mother too (I love it cause they've been trying to rinse their hands of mother recently so it's been cheap).

Funny he said that cause I actually take no doze before an exam. Seems to work well - only cause I read caffeine improves exam scores.

i usually buy a carton of the big redbull cans when the rep comes round to work, just for at home ^_^

kr0nic · 10th November 2007, 2:24 PM

Red Eye is my personal fav, much cheaper then Redbulls, but never see it for sale at convenient stores only supermarkets, V gives me a upset gut for some reason

Never got behind energy drinks. They taste like liquid sugar, even more so than regular softdrinks. And with the amount of crap people eat and drink, do you really need an 'energy' drink? They just seem so terribly bad for you.

But in the spirit of this thread I voted for red bull. I don't like any of them but RB is marginally better than V.

The fact that people eat and drink crap and have generally unhealthy lifestyles is one of the reasons people do need energy drinks.

Most people know it's bad for them, but we enjoy the taste and/or benefits. Me, I do shiftwork and rely on it often to get me home alive

The sugarfree V. Love the stuff despite it probably taking years off my life.

Alfonzo · 10th November 2007, 3:54 PM

Red Bull. Unfortunately the uni knows this, and prices it $4 per can in the vending machines, right along side the same size cans of V for $2.70.

DiGiTaL MoNkEY · 10th November 2007, 4:00 PM

Full flavour redbull or V, none of this sugar free stuff...makes it taste even worse. If i'm out and about in the evening i'll have a couple Pulses'

Man, the price difference between V and Red Bull seems to get bigger and bigger with every passing week. I remember when they used to be pretty much the same price, and now in most servos Red Bull seems to go for about $1 more. I guess Red Bull must be doing something right, if they can get away with it.
