Red Bull, where do they get the money from?

Post here all non technical related topics about Formula One. This includes race results, discussions, testing analysis etc. TV coverage and other personal questions should be in Off topic chat.

Yuck... Jagermeister... but I guess a JagerBomb might be fun to try. SDSU (or as people in San Diego know it as STD-SU) is starting school this week... there's going to be a lot of opportunity to mix Red Bull with anything
Bring back wider rear wings, V10s, and tobacco advertisements

Mixed with Jägermeister is it called a JägerBlaster or JägerBomb, or (when served with the Jägermeister still in a shot glass) a Train Wreck. Mixed with whiskey, it is called bull's balls.

LOL. I have never heard of any of those names. Here in Australia, I only know of Redbull and Vodka as.... "Redbull and Vodka".

When I was very young and VERY stupid, we mixed bennies (amphetime pills) with beer so we could get hammered all night long. The years may pass, names may change, but the traditions continue.

Tastes like fizzy bubble, I am pretty sure it strips the enamil off teath, but when your tired after racing in a 24 hour mountain bike race it is pretty awsome at keeping you awake and alert.

Drink half the can and then sip the rest, but be carefull - I overdosed once, arived home wide eyed and busy tailed at 3am but couldn't get to sleep until after I had seen the suncome up!

Not sure about the others but the V is exported from New Zealand. It has about 60% market share out here, Red Bull is a distant second.

Its what, like an 8oz can (if that). Costs em cents to make and they sell it for $2. Mega profits.

Our FSAE team is/was sponsored by them. Bring by 12 or so at a time. Pretty good deal.

Delicious with Jaeger.
