Talk:Red Bull

I doubt that the image shows a canadian red bull bottle. It has thai language all over the place. I bought a simmilar bottle in an asian shop in Vienna.

No, it certainly doesn't look Canadian to me. I noticed that when the image was first added, but I figured, hell, what do I know? Everyking 23:33, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That is what I thought, too. Then, to my surprise, I saw it at a small corner store here in Vancouver. I wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for the picture I saw posted here in Wikipedia. 5 March 2005

I got that bottle in Vancouver, BC on a trip I took about 2 years ago. It came from New Amsterdam Cafe or one of the others right next to it. Triddle 17:28, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

But does the stuff work?? and what, really are the health risks?

Taurin is addictive, but as an overdose of Red Bull -- ESPECIALLY on an empty stomach -- causes nausea before the neccessary concentration is reached, you'll probably throw up before you get addicted.

The caffein can probably cause poisoning if you overdose, too.

Generally, I wouldn't recommend drinking it like water. If nothing else, it'll make you feel pretty awful (no, I can't verify this with numbers, I'm talking from personal experience and observations). -- Ashmodai 14:12, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Its not Canadian / American red bull

It is the thai version of red bull, the original.

where does the name come from?

red bull has taurine in it, which was originally discovered in the liver of oxen, and is named after the animal (taurus)... could this be where red bull (or the original thai drink) gets its name from?
