How long til Red Bull go out of business?

Well according to Wikipedia:

In 2011, a total of 4.631 billion cans were sold in over 161 countries. 8,294 employees generated 4.25 billion euros in revenue.

I think they are doing ok?
 
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.
.

They don't taste the same . You must just not of drank enough red bill to know it

It's like my mum or gran who think Pepsi and coke taste the same , it ls because they have about one can a year
 
A hypothesis can be wrong, a factual claim can be wrong. A subjective opinion can not be wrong by it's nature.

Of course it can.

It can still be valid, but incorrect nonetheless.

You can believe that something tastes exactly like Red Bull, but if it doesn't it is still wrong, no matter what your personal belief.
 
Woolworths used to be one of the UK's top retailers, HMV were the top dogs for selling CDs.

Come on, at least put some thought into your examples. Why did woolworths and HMV die? I personally can't see us not drinking in the near future so I think red bull are safe in that respect.

If you knew anything about red bull you would see that they sponsor a ridiculous number of events and sports and sell a huge number of cans of their drink. They will be fine.

I have been able to buy 1 litre of "blue bolt" for about 80p for the last 4-5 years which works out about a 8th of the price of red bull, red bull are still going fine.
 
Red Bull is one of the biggest brands in the world and is recognisable by almost everyone in a first world country. If you're unaware of what brand awareness means to a product, any product, you should probably check it out.

Red Bull could manufacture anything, they could make computers and still make millions more than you ever could no matter how good your components are or how much cheaper they are. Christ, you're asking the kind of question in the OP on a computer forum where there is a hugely over-hyped brand of computer that sells people the same components in a fancy case for 160-200% markup? Now imagine if Alienware was as well known as Red Bull and you have a fraction of the idea.

I take it you have shares in Red Bull then (or work for them). It was a simple question, you think they'll be alright and that's cool but you don't have to be so smarmy with your answer bud.
 
I'm of the opinion that Red Bull as a company will be fine, despite the increase in much cheaper energy drinks. It's had a presence for 25 years now - I'm sure that within that time they have established a decent strategy for coping with competition.

I agree that it would make sense for people buying energy drinks to go for cheaper, non brand versions. Perhaps it's the perception that Red Bull is "better" - a bit like people buying big branded loo roll as opposed to the own brand version :)

Red bull is a private company, it doesn't sell stock.
 
Red Bull has a certain purity to its taste which other drinks can't get near. For the purposes of staying up all night, a 30p one from Lidl will suffice though.
 
Red Bull is a bit different as a company, instead of sponsoring teams they actually own them.

New York Red Bulls and Red Bull racing are prime examples.

Also I've just noticed I've never had an energy drink before. :eek:
 
Never said it did, you can have a share based company without trading them on the stock market you know.

You didn't need to say, it was obvious you weren't implying I was an employee or multi-billionaire. Unless you thought it was an easy process to obtain or liquidate private stocks as an individual? It's ok, we all make mistakes.
