In nearly all my local shops now you can buy these...

NO HOTLINKING!

..at the mere cost of 35p a can. IMO, it tastes exactly the same as Red Bull so why would anyone pay £1.20 and up for the 'original'? Surely they'll go out of business in a few years.
 
Red Bull are actually a marketing company, they may decide to stop producing the drink if it becomes economically unviable, but I don't think the loss of that revenue stream would kill the company as a whole. They do manage to fund a formula 1 racing team and send crazy balloons into space etc, so aren't short of a bob or two.

Was Virgin Cola sold for nearly a quarter of the price of Coke? Did it taste anywhere near the same?

How is your example relevant?

The point still stands, cheap alternatives have been around for years yet Red Bull only get richer. Kick, Blue Bolt, Red Rooster, Emerge, Tiger, Charge etc etc all taste the exact same as Red Bull for a fraction of the cost.

Edit - Also the fact that the drink is only a small percentage of Red Bull's income that even if somehow it did get muscled out by some cheap imitation, Red Bull would not just immediately declare bankruptcy and cease trading.
