About Turkish Red Bull
They sell it cheap in a shop in the UK where I am and I've noticed the first ingredient is 'Alkol' and that is has only 15g caffeine/100ml. If someone could add a section about this I would be grateful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.12.91.82 (talk) 12:11, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
The Thai Connection
Sadly the article is missing out on the entire story of how Red Bull came from Thailand to Austria, which is probably the most interesting thing about that swill. Maikel (talk) 18:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
CSD Template On The Talkpage
I reverted the talk page to remove the template that was added here as well as to remove what appeared to be comments that were left on a user's talkpage and simply copied to this one. -- Qaddosh|talk|contribs 19:32, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I am not a doctor but if it helps anyone who wants to find out about some of the adverse effects of the energy drink Red Bull, I hope this can help. I started out drinking one or two a day and then after about 2 or three months it was a regular thing. Yeah I felt like I had wings and as good as can be, that is until the crashes started. Now after about two years of limited Red Bull consumption, I still can't drink one without being exhausted about 1 hr afterwards and sometimes even taking naps because the crash is stonger than the level of tiredness that I usually start out with, but I will say it is refreshing . . ?? It has a great taste in my opinion, which doesn't help. I have also experienced tiredness to the point that people try and wake me up and I cannot bring myself to wake up except for a brief moment and then I am out for hours. I haven't seen much of this type of talk anywhere, nor have I heard it from any of my friends who drink it so it could just be me, however, it is still so disturbing to me that I wanted to post this, in hopes that I may see more evidence of this type of reaction and also to help those who are looking for info on the same subject I was and could not find anything on - - health effects of red bull. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.35.90.41 (talk) 13:54, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Larger can size in the UK
Just a note to say that in the UK (perhaps the wider Europe?) Red Bull is now commonly sold in 355ml cans, as well as 250ml cans. I would guess the reason behind this is that shorty after AGBarr launched a competitor product "Irn-Bru 32" they started to ship their product in larger 350ml cans and still at a much cheaper price. 86.111.162.127 (talk) 15:13, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Krating Daeng and Red Bull
Krating Daeng is a very sweet and syrupy energy drink produced by T.C. Pharmaceuticals. Red Bull is a Soft Drink sold by Red Bull GmbH. These are two different products, by producer, taste, consistency, markets. so there should be two different articles for the two products. Even though I'am aware of the fact that Krating Daeng means "bull red" in thai. It is clear that this should go to the disambiguation page and not merged into the one article about both drinks as it is right now. I replaced the redirection from Krating Daeng to Red Bull by a stub. Feel free to contribute. 80.218.55.7 (talk) 22:12, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- The thing is the non-carbonated Thai version is sold as Red Bull as well. See this.--Dodo bird (talk) 07:49, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Caffeine input levels
This article states correctly that an 8.2oz serving of Red Bull contains about 80mg of caffeine. However, it says that this can be as much caffeine as two cups of coffee, which is false. In an 8oz cup of coffee there is either 115-175 mg of caffeine or 80-135 mg of caffeine, depending on whether it is drip or brewed respectively.

Whoever revises this should set up a table caffeine/ounce not in various proportions —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.26.192.105 (talk) 22:55, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Neutrality?
It seems to me that this whole article should be tagged for neutrality. As large parts of it read as an advertisement. I feel like an outside POV might be needed. Any objections? Walrus1 (talk) 17:28, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
On second thought I am going to be bold and go for it! Walrus1 (talk) 00:52, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- There's a specific template for articles that are written like an advertisement. --Taraborn (talk) 17:52, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Taraborn, I shall go ahead and remove the generic neutrality tag, and add the advertisement tag then.Walrus1 (talk) 21:12, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Not recommended by the cRc
Could someone please weight the following statement "Red bull is kosher, but is not recommended by the cRc.[1]" (source: http://www.crcweb.org/kosher/consumer/beverageList.html ) because it apparently is too light. If you could, it'll help a lot. 98.226.32.129 (talk) 22:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
OK.--86.25.54.52 (talk) 11:06, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
