Post HERE if you have no idea what a RedBull tastes like.

[Beausoir]

Me.

Guess I am just too unsophisticated for the Obama crowd.

I've seen RedBull cans..usually on the tabloid internet sites.

Up here, in the real world of the Iron Range of Minnesota, we don't spend alot of time worrying about our drinks.

If we want water...we drink water. If we want beer...we drink beer. If we want a coke..we drink a coke. If we want coffee..we drink coffee.

[featherman]

1. Never had one... but know people that drink it

Is this really an issue? Do Red Bull drinkers care more or less about health care and the Iraq occupation?
If this is just some weird pro-Clinton post, I apologize for participating. I no longer care about the Hillary side show. I'm ready for the GE.

[roguevalley]

109. what a petty op

[otohara]

126. Why Is It In GDP?

I don't get it - I hadn't heard Red Bull had anything to do with politics in general, or that the real world existed in MN.

You're right this is a petty post - stupid too!

[Levgreee]

2. damn energy-drink elitists, chugging red bull and getting heart attacks

[DJ13]

3. You dont have to taste it to know it exists

[DangerousRhythm]

30. Pretty much. I won't drink it, personally....

and don't know the taste, but I've known for some years now that it's been around, and I'd like to believe I also live in the "real world".

[Texas Hill Country]

119. she MIGHT have better things to worry about

[CatsDogsBabies]

4. Never had one and I support Obama

[Owl]

139. Same here.

[Cali_Democrat]

5. Try a Red Bull & Vodka

[Beausoir]

19. Plain vodka is good enough. With ice.

[Cali_Democrat]

22. I like vodka & tonic or vodka & red bull

[msallied]

25. mmm.... vodka tonic is my favorite. Particularly Ketel One and tonic...

[davidinalameda]

44. try Hangar One vodka if you can find it

it's good!

[NorthCarolina]

122. Belvedere

the best!

[Beausoir]

27. Vodka tonic with lottsa ice. A VERY good drink.

[ieoeja]

110. What else is permissible with Vodka?

Vodka & Red Bull - fake
Vodka & Ice - real
Vodka & Tonic - real

Why is it wrong to drink Vodka & Red Bull? Because Red Bull was only invented a decade or so ago? Why would that make it wrong?

[madrchsod]

34. boy does that look good......

i find if i start drinking these i have a hard time knowing that i should have stopped a long time ago....

[smalll]

85. Try a Red Bull & Vodka, Start a Bar Fight! /nt

:eyes:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

135. "Red?" "Vodka?"

Communist!

[evlbstrd]

6. Red what?

I like Irish red ale.

[redqueen]

115. Yum...

That's the stuff. :9

[scheming daemons]

7. The point isn't about drinking it.... it's about not knowing it exists..... OUT OF TOUCH....

By the way.... it kinda tastes like Mountain Dew....

[jasmine621]

And your point is...? nt

[scheming daemons]

17. Point is..... Hillary is out-of-touch with common Americans..Just like Bush 41 and the "Pork Rinds"

[JoFerret]

103. If that is your standard of knowledge,

and your view mattered, we would all be in very deep trouble.

[Radical Activist]

8. Do you have a Hank Williams Jr. or Bob Seeger song to go with that cutesy post?

"Up here, in the real world of the Iron Range of Minnesota, we don't spend alot of time worrying about our drinks."

You sound like a commercial for a pickup truck or cheap beer. How old are you? I think that has a lot more to do with it than elitism. Sorry you missed the boat.

[Tribetime]

9. Never had it, coffee is enogh for me

But still vot Obama

[msallied]

10. There is a difference between never having tasted it and not knowing about it, period.

[baldguy]

11. RedBull is BullPiss

[MadBadger]

How does she not know the name of her state's Major League Soccer team?

[Freedom Train]

95. Uh, because nobody gives a flying crap about soccer?

Maybe that could have something to do with it?

[redqueen]

116. Bullshit. It's growing, and will soon be more popular than hockey.

Deal with it.

[mtnsnake]

127. My Rangers need a fucking miracle!!!

[Catherine Vincent]

145. The other poster is correct.

No one really cares. No one really cares about hockey either. :)

[mtnsnake]

129. I'll bet few of the candidates would know the name of their state's soccer team if asked on the spot

[cliffordu]

12. That would be me....I'm high on life...

:sarcasm:

[PseudoIntellect]

13. I'm part of the Obama crowd and I've never touched a Red Bull.

or a Full Throttle or any other of those energy drinks I've been hearing about lately.

[Political Heretic]

14. Red bull is hardly elitist. Chilli Bombs are the drink of the workin man! :D

[rug]

15. "The drink is intended to taste like mixed berries." per wiki.

$2 for 8 oz. No thanks.

[scheming daemons]

21. Mountain Dew-ish like taste to me..... a little sweeter maybe.....

[rug]

29. I always thought Dr Pepper tasted like cherry soda and dirt. I'm sticking to coffee.

[Arkansas Granny]

91. I always thought it tasted more like carbonated prune juice.

I'm sticking to coffee, too.

[pecwae]

99. You just took me back.

There was a rumor years ago that Dr. Pepper produced the same results within the body as did prunes.

[rucky]

137. Sweet Tarts. n/t

[msallied]

23. Tastes more like cough syrup.

[quakerboy]

59. Mixed berry?

That is worthy of an epic fail.

its not the oz or the taste, its the results. For me, not so much. For my sister? Whoaboy, watch out for the tornado.

[Samantha]

16. I never tasted it but I KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT

I see a lot of it around here.

Sam

[Maddy McCall]

18. Tried it once. It's a vomitous substance.

Won't drink it again. Give me black coffee instead.

[Seabiscuit]

90. Someone told me it was battery acid.

So no, I wouldn't try one.

[apocalypsehow]

20. Well, I don't really know what this is all about, but I've never had one.

Guess I'm behind the curve on what relevance Red Bull has to the primary.

:shrug:

[msallied]

24. Hillary Clinton has apparently never heard of Red Bull.

People are misconstruing that to say that she never drank it, but she doesn't even know what it is.

[Freedom Train]

97. Oh noes!!1!1 She never heard of it??

Why that makes her totally unfit to be president, I'd say! Knowing about soda pop brands is THE litmus test for the highest office!

Me on the other hand I couldn't care less about what's in style with the teeny-bopping Obots these days, and I never drink soda. Good on Hillary for feeling the same way! Real progressives don't buy into that kind of commercialism.

[mrcheerful]

42. It's sorta like back in the 60's a popular drink in Ohio and Indiana

the locals called chocolate soda pop, reality, it was chocolate milk in a pop bottle type glass container. It was a big deal to the locals and anyone who didn't drink or know about it was considered a back wards hick or an elitist rich kid slumming. Though Red Bull is more advertised then that crap was, it amounts to the same type of thinking. You know Red Bull gives ya wings, but the kids in my area prefer Monster energy drink. Personally I hardly watch TV ads as they tend to insult ones intellect, drinking energy drinks will not cause you super human powers anymore then a hit of LSD will, nor do I want to wear Axe to attract women, sorry but at 51 its bad enough when I attract the SO's attention ( roflmao )nor do I drink Bud light to attract the attentions of the hotties at the bar, sorry but been there done that and for some odd reason that hotty you went home with at 2 am, by 12 pm the next day has gained 300 pounds and the cute freckle on her nose turned into a mole with 6"hairs growing from it.

Other words just more nonsense to avoid looking at the issues of the nation, reguardless if its BHO peeps or Hill peeps, lets forget the dumb shit and talk about solving america's problems. We are in for some very hard times if we don't end the greed feast that has been going on these last 30 years. I for one don't care if BHO's preacher cursed america and I don't care if Hillery wears thongs or granny panties. What I want to know is what either one plans to do about the corporate theft of the american life and who will look out for "We The People".

[bluebellbaby]

26. Never had one, broke a can at work...smells like crap!

And people drink it up...:spray:

[OHdem10]

28. I have heard the name.

[Beausoir]

32. Me too. I imagine it is like coffee in a can?

I live in a very small town.

We have RedBull but I have no idea what it is nor what it tastes like.

[madrchsod]

31. really good mixed with jagermeister

but i prefer vodka...

[Beausoir]

38. Never had jagermeister either. Is that the drink with Gold flakes in it?

Honest to god....flakes of gold in a drink?

[madrchsod]

50. yes it`s my daughters and her friends fav drink..

Goldschläger has the flakes...my son drank almost a whole bottle...never did that again

[DangerousRhythm]

84. Goldschläger

Oh wow, memories of college flooding back. I had so much Goldschläger in those days that the thought of it makes me a bit queasy today. Good times!

[Arkansas Granny]

93. IMO, jagermeister tastes like cough syrup.

[NeedleCast]

138. No, that's Goldschlager

Jagermeister is a dark brown liquor. Tastes somewhat like black licorice

[quantass]

33. Chicken?

[Beausoir]

39. A Canuck asking a Ranger if they are chicken....ROFL.

[quantass]

51. LOL! This Canuck stands corrected!

[Beausoir]

55. I ADORE Canada. I really do. You guys are very lucky.

Incredible terrain. From the Rockies to Vancouver. Toronto....a very great city.

Lucky bastards.

[KSinTX]

157. I'll second the question

Ranger ain't no Green Beret

[barack the house]

35. Tastes like chicken and ..fruit juice.

[Beausoir]

40. "I think I'm gonna BARF!"

[quantass]

53. Wait for me to get my straw first ... will ya?

:toast:

[DearAbby]

36. I have tried it...

too sweet, I like that MONSTER drink, you know in a black can with erie claw marks on the side? That's not too bad.

[smalll]

37. Proud to be a non-Red-Bull-drinking, non-iPod-wearing, non-arugula-eating Hillarite!

I'm proud to be a Hillarite,
Another Dem for Hillary -
And I won't get caught in the O-man's hype
Or his froth and frippery:

And I gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still tonight -
I don't want the god "above us all"
But "Our Girl" who's in our fight!
:patriot:

[Gore1FL]

41. I never had red Bull

I like 5 hour energy.

But I can still do math.

[flowomo]

43. seen it... never tried it.

n/t

[BlackVelvet04]

45. When I want caffeine I drink coffee or tea....

I don't drink something with the word BULL in the name of it....not too surprised at the ones who do, though. :-)

[kid a]

46. i thought the RW only pushed the elitist v unsophisticated line

I bet you get O Reilly up there too.
I'll put you on ignore - you do the same to me...I cant handle you idiots.

[Beausoir]

48. Wow. You put me on ignore because I don't drink RedBull?

How....odd.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

47. WTF? OMG...on DU? OMG posters are claiming NOT to drink Red Bull? Ever??

:rofl:

C'mon, Red Bull? Oh, please. :rofl:

"why, my heavens, I only glanced at the can in the convenience store fridge, I have vapors even thinking I might have sipped a bit"

Oh, please. :rofl:

BTW, I have no idea what this is about, seriously, I'm guessing Sen. Obama mentioned Red Bull (oh, noes!) and every one is nit picking it, but, c'mon, anyone who posts they never, ever, sipped of the Bull, well, please, THIS IS DU!

[tammywammy]

49. But you do know what Red Bull is.

BTW, I think it tastes like Pixie Sticks. I prefer the blue Monster.

[JimGinPA]

52. I Haven't...

I do know what it is though.

[quantass]

54. Tastes like: Flat, Cherry-Flavored Dr. Pepper....or is that Vector Energy drink?

[Citizen_Penn]

56. I thought we Obama supporters were drinking Kool Aid, not

Red Bull.

Isn't that what the HRC supporters around here have to say?

IN any event, I don't drink Kool Aid or Red Bull.


Neither appeals to me much. Leaves me cold as a Clinton.

[Orangepeel]

57. I've never had a Red Bull. But I know what one is.

I don't think it means anything, except that I watch TV and do my own shopping.

[donheld]

58. I've know what it is for nearly 10 years

but no, I've never had it.

[EFerrari]

60. There is a kind of vote that thinks that where they live is the real world

and that where other people live isn't.

Amazing.

[Beausoir]

73. Uhhh...what?

Once again...in english por favor?

[EFerrari]

74. Here you go:

"Up here, in the real world of the Iron Range of Minnesota, we don't spend alot of time worrying about our drinks."

[Beausoir]

76. SO, the Iron Range of MN is not the real world to you Obama supporters?

I don't understand your prejudice against where I live.

[EFerrari]

132. How reactive is that. You define your local as real

in contrast to other places. Project much?

[OnionPatch]

154. Thank you.

I get a little tired of this elitism of the "real Americans" because that's what it is. I've never had a Red Bull, but if I loved the stuff, it doesn't make me any bit less valid as an American. And it certainly doesn't make me an elitist.

[BenDavid]

61. If someone would have asked me what is a Red Bull, I would have

said it was a beer. I would have been wrong. HRC did the wise andsmart thing today when asked about Red Bull. I don't know. That was the best answer ever.

I did not know what AMP was until I saw dale earnhardt jr promote it in a commerical. So, not knowing sports drinks or all the beers means nothing.

[Blue_In_AK]

62. I don't even know what a Red Bull is.

What is it? Beer? A soft drink? What? :shrug:

[tammywammy]

63. It's an energy drink

[Blue_In_AK]

66. Oh, thanks.

I never touch soft drinks so I guess I'm as out of it as Hillary is. :)

[DesertRat]

64. No clue and no interest. n/t

[AlCzervik]

65. never tried it, of course i know it exists but i never tasted it.

i asked in another thread about it and some helpful du'ers filled me in on all what's in it and what it tastes like.

[texanwitch]

67. Yep, when I work early voting which means I have to get up at 4:30 in the morning I drink a can

everyday.

If not a Red Bull sometime like it, I like Rock Star the best.

Working those 12 to 15 hours everyday was hell, needed the energy.

I bought mine on sell.

[pansypoo53219]

68. i refuse to touch it

cause i think it's connected with that far rite religious crap, maybe left behind shit too, some proficy that when a pure red bull is born crap. plus, don't they say it gives you wings? like angels?......
just give me some coffee.

[northzax]

104. what? This is silly

Red Bull is from Austria, are you just free associating bullshit?

[lcdnumber6]

69. I'm honestly scared to taste it

The smell is nauseating and I've seen the color of that stuff outside of the can. Scary. One time a Red Bull solicitor in one of those Red Bull cars came to a construction site I was working at. I could smell that s*** from 30 feet away and I told the sales guy, "man, your product scares me."

Lisa

P.S. - GOBAMA! Did I break the Red Bull hater = Hillary supporter rule for this thread? :evilgrin:

[jillan]

70. Never had one.

[Kali]

71. the kids buy that shit when they are flush

have to admit I kind of like the taste, but $2+ a small can? screw that. I'm to miserly. I chug sun tea all day to keep going and hydrate (coffee to start the day, though and I can do coke (uh soda, I'm old now) if I have to)

[Endangered Specie]

72. It goes good with Jeager, thats all I know about it

[oldgrowth]

75. Out here on the Titanium range all the county kids drink it and sobee

On the weekdays And beer and yes some pot on the weekend just like on the Iron Range of Minnasoda!!
:sarcasm:

[Beausoir]

77. Hah! You got the pronunciation right! Minnasoda indeed!

[swishyfeet]

78. The working class in Scranton love it

Edit: I do too - and I thought I was elitist for sure!

Wiki:
The original Red Bull drink was developed in Thailand by the company TC Pharmaceutical, where it was sold under the Thai name 'Krating Daeng'.<19> The recipe was based on Lipovitan, an earlier energy drink that had been introduced to Thailand from Japan. Krating Daeng sales soared across Asia in the 1970s and 1980s, especially among truck drivers, construction workers and farmers. Truck drivers used to drink it to stay awake during the long late night drive. The working class image was boosted by sponsorship of Thai boxing matches, where the logo of two red bulls charging each other was often on display.

[dkf]

79. I started drinking it, then I was having caffeine withdrawals on the weekend.

Scared the heck out of me.

[Petrushka]

80. Make mine a Coca-Cola BLAK. (eom) --- (**sigh**) --- Edited to add:

83. Yes, but do our candidates know what Bubble Tea is?

That would be the true test of "with it-ness."

[Lilith Velkor]

86. Never tried it

[hfojvt]

87. Red Bull? Like from Stephen King's "Rose Madder"?

It gives you wings.

[MrSlayer]

88. Red bull tastes ok but it's terrible for you.

You're better off doing cocaine, seriously.

[ccharles000]

89. I have never had a redbull.

[Spider Jerusalem]

92. It tastes like Robitussin cough syrup.

You're not missing anything.

94. dear god this is a voting issue.... why???!??

[shadowknows69]

96. Never tasted it

Believe it exists.

[Why Syzygy]

98. I'm an Obama supporter and I've never had one.

I don't need tons of caffeine cruising through my system. Thanks all the same.

[DeeDeeNY]

100. If the Iron Range of Minnesota is the "real world"

what is the rest of the country? Just wondering. I guess drinks are now an important election issue?

:shrug:

[Kolesar]

105. I could go for a mug of beer, too

That pic's a keeper!

Quote heard this morning on the news from the Queen while hitching a ride in an enormously oversized truck to a campaign stop.

[needledriver]

107. Never had one.

Not interested. I try to avoid caffeine.

Clever commercials. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually get sued because some entirely too credulous customer is disappointed they didn't sprout actual physical wings.

I thought Red Bull had taurine in it - hence Bull.

My favorite energy drink marketing ploy: Dickens Cider. (say it fast, as in "I'd like a Dickens Cider.")

108. No idea what it tastes like. But very popular with young adults. n/t

[BootinUp]

111. Its not my cup o tea, lol. nt

[Jamastiene]

112. I've never had one of those either.

Are they some sort of elitist beer or something?

[yellowcanine]

113. Never has one but this is really silly - take it to the lounge.

114. Never had one... know what it is... Obama supporter.

123. Here's The Ingredients - Sugar & Sodium

There's no way I'd drink this crap - Even though there's a few vitamins in it, the sugar & sodium overwhelms what ever minuet nutritional value it claims to have.


Carbonated water, sucrose, glucose, sodium citrate, taurine, glucuronolactone, inositol, niacin, D-pantothenol, pyridoxine HCL, vitamin B12, natural and artificial flavors, colors, caffeine

[Greyskye]

141. Whoa, you drink aftershave?

:silly:

[Stop Cornyn]

142. Only with Jagermeister or -- in a pinch -- vodka

[Greyskye]

146. I think this is the only aftershave I might drink

Or possibly put on a salad. :D

149. No, THIS is Delicious:

Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

125. RedBull is the new latte!

OFFS. :eyes:

[kerry-is-my-prez]

128. Clinton supporter - had one once - found it too sweet. Also a latte drinker.

I've got a lot of the traits.... except one: I'm a 50 year old female. That isn't the main reason I'm for Hillary, however. I don't think Obama has enough experience.

[leftynyc]

130. Never touched the stuff

I see it in stores and stuff but until recently, I didn't even know what it was. And I'm in New York City. But I do drink lattes.

[Occam Bandage]

140. I know it exists. I'm sure it's too pedestrian for my fine palate

:evilgrin:

[Greyskye]

143. Is there a link to this madness?

I just skimmed through all the posts, and still don't really grok what all the hullabaloo is about.

For what it's worth, I know what Redbull is, and tried one once when they were supplied at a meeting. As it made me :puke: a little in my mouth; I never tried one again.

[halliburtonsux]

144. I've never had one.

I only know it's a beverage, and have seen the cans.

[Raine]

147. This Obama supporter has never had one...

though I do love lattes. :-)

148. Me

I hate being part of the "in" crowd... seriously.

151. it tastes like Vodka.... n/t
