Red Bull Legalized?

Anjew · #1 (**permalink**) Sep 07, 04

so.. at our party in edmonton we were selling red bull... and apparently it was legal...
there's the syrup stuff that a lot of you are accustomed to.
but we were selling the canadian can version and the american can version....
can anyone confirm tha this is real?
as i'm typing this i have two red bulls in my posession one from canada and one from Usa....
what's the diff?
the american one has taurine which is the main reason why it was banned up here...

anyways.. anyone know if it's true or not?

and hey maybe mountain dew will have caffeine up here soon just like our friends in the states.

redbull from the states is banned in canada because of its high caffine content. the red bull we have here.. (the kind from the little brown bottle that looks like cough medicine) isnt the same kind.. i think that one is from china or something.... and there is a canned redbull made here in canada.. but doesnt have as much caffine as the us version.

trust me.. ive had the us kind... after half a can... i was buzzing.
one can of canadian redbull doesnt do anything at all.

You guys get the generic redbull from Taiwain or Singapore usually. It still taste fine though, just drink a larger volume of it. hehe

andrew... the redbull made in canada and the one from the states are diff... were not allowed to have that much caffine in our drinks here... i think alot of pop is made differently here for our standards....like we have alot of the same drinks... they just formulate it differntly...

Veni*C · #12 (**permalink**) Sep 07, 04

Kid_KaBOOM · #13 (**permalink**) Sep 07, 04

Yup.. We have a cosco. Where you can get a case of the real deal for about $30 bucks.

Sound's like a good idea :)

Never tried Red Bull, no matter where it's from... Time to get ON IT!

Anjew · #16 (**permalink**) Sep 07, 04

ok.. let me clarify this..
red bull with taurine has always been illegal in canada..
look it up.
the ones at costco don't have taurine.
same can just don't have taurine.
i had the stuff wit htaurine and yeah holy shit... hadn't slept in a night and instantly had energy.
lots of energy....

but yes this enrgy drink was illegal in canada.. i was just checking if anyone had heard that two weeks prior they had finally legalized it...

you think energy drink illegal is odd?

like i said mountain dew in canada doesn't have caffeine unlike the americans which do have caffeine.

trance4life · #17 (**permalink**) Sep 07, 04

how much caffeine we talkin about here? over 500mills?

mapleleaf4ever · #18 (**permalink**) Sep 07, 04

In other words... RED BULL has never been illegal. TAURINE however is. Also if you look it up, in Canada you are not allowed to put CAFFIENE in NON-COLA COLOURED drinks.

Veni*C · #19 (**permalink**) Sep 07, 04

^^ ya... and mellow yellow from the states is banned here cause it has way too much caffine.

{dC!} · #20 (**permalink**) Sep 07, 04

Rydiculous :

So many things from the states are banned here.

Meh it's nothing really special : Just an energy drink which gets disgusting after you drink too much of it!

mapleleaf4ever · #22 (**permalink**) Sep 07, 04

Which in my opinion is good... the last thing we need is Elementary and High School kids tweaking-the-fuck out on massive amounts of Caffiene.

What's the taste like?

I'd run down to the store and buy a can... but... I'm gonna go with my instinct on this one and just let the good people of FNK feed me the information!:200:

Well you can die from an over-dose of caffine & your rite Erik we dont need high school kids choosing caffine to get a super speedy type effect!
