How long til Red Bull go out of business?

Pardonthewait - what sort of clubs/bars have you seen it sold in? I'd be interested to know there's a link between the music genres these places play.

Pretty sure both places I can think off the top of my head are 'spoons.

A couple of rock type places I know though promote jager bombs quite heavily I'm sure those are with Monster. The one that's ringing a bell is a Scream pub and they're student/rock pubs.

Quite an impressive thread revival.

I must say though, I was wondering this as their latest add is doing the rounds on FB, with all the 'stars' in the stunt. Maybe I should write to the owner and get him to sponsor me £1 million and I will promise to buy 1 can a day, probably a better return than what they are getting now.

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.

The drink pretty much *is* the revenue stream at the moment...- that is what earns them the money to sponsor the crazy balloons into space etc... The entire company and all those activities they sponsor is based around marketing that one drink they have the exclusive rights to distribute. I believe they have a few other drinks and that's about it - the vast majority of their income and the whole brand is based around an energy drink... I reckon if they lost that they'd be a bit screwed..
 
Well the thing is, at least they are putting the profits back into the world, whether it be for advertising or whatever, it is paying peoples wages. Rather than some companies where the money just goes into a big pot, that they end up using to buy out smaller companies.

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 think with the example of hugely over-hyped and fancy-cased computers at twice their actual value you chose the wrong example. The one you missed does begin with A though, followed by P,P,L & E
 
Was out round at the in laws last week. My wife and her mum ask me to nip the shop and get them those 'bottles of drink with their names on' in their words. Got the one with Mrsyoustolemyname's name on and gave the mother in law a can of monster....
 
I DON'T DRINK ENERGY DRINKS BECAUSE I AM NOT A TEENAGER/CHILD.

CAPS LOCK NOT RELEVANT JUST ON BY MISTAKE

Another example of something people massively overpay for despite much cheapen options. Havnt seen Starbucks go out of business yet though.

Cheaper options? Are you comparing harvested, roasted, freshly ground coffee beans strained in a precisely pressurised portafilter to a free teaspoon of nescafe at the local christian bookshop?

Red Bulls key strength and deployment strategy seems to be all the crazy sponsorship and marketing deals they hold. Why do you buy coke or pepsi when the store brand comes in all the same varieties and tastes just as good ;)
 
All ''energy'' drinks taste foul and have zero effect on me. People would pay good money for bottles of puddle water with the right marketing
