Why is Red Bull so expensive?
Granted, they have an F1 programme and all the TV ads to pay for, but why 99p a can when Tesco and Sainsburys are 24p/26p? Or, to tip that question on its head, what muck are the others putting in theirs! This is an odd topic, perhaps I've drunk too much of the stuff 'cos I didn't go to bed till 3am -which is way to late for me. Been rebuilding the Durga for Sunday.

Yeah but it isn't that nice when you buy some from Tesco and realise that you have to be at school in 3 mins, when it takes about a minute to get to school, you either have a choice, down the whole can or have it shot in the bin when you get to school. I can certainly say that you definatley feel very strange afterwards for the next hour or so.

Yup and its not an instant boost either, it can be seen in the blood 5 mins after taken orally but drinks take longer from dirnks such as tea and coffee and longer again from soft drinks, usually peak plasma is upto 2 hours later, upto 3.5% of caffeine doesnt even get absorbed and comes out chemically unchanged.

I dunno why you lot need to take Red Bull and shit like that... try going to bed at the right time and eating regular, and you will feel more awake.... burn the candle at both ends and your bound to feel tired....

You are right on that score - its just sometimes these days this is not possible. I wish I was still a kid - that way when your mum & dad do everything for you, you can go to bed early and eat properly.

There is a very simple reason why Red Bull is the price it is - because people pay it!
I have a massive amount of respect for Red Bull and the several racing teams they run (amongst all the other things) but I agree with DCM here if you need stimulants to get you through the day, you're doing something wrong
