      Tastes disgusting tho, sugar free versions of most energy drink flavours suck. A few that are sugar free from the start are good though.

    It’s meant to be something you drink before an intensive activity. having some sugar in it is a good addition, not a bad one. 110 calories per can is nothing, you can burn them by walking a few km.

    But there’s always some derivative that comes with 0 calories.

      Yeah, but how many kids do you see nowadays on the way to school with a can in their hand? It may be intended for that, and yeah a lot of people do use it for that (exercise), but there’s also a lot of people who don’t use it for that.

        That’s 100% their shitty decision. But even if you don’t buy a red bull for exercise, it’s still only 110 calories. The can says 53% sugar, which is about the same as the amount of carbs in bread. You can easily eat more calories with bread.

          Oh I 100% agree it’s their poor decision. The only thing I would say is just because the % of sugar is the same, it doesn’t necessarily mean the same quantity. For example, this white bread company claims only 3 grams of sugar in a loaf of bread (obviously it won’t be the same in every loaf, though I’ve never heard of a loaf of bread containing 36 grams of sugar - though I could be wrong).

            The percentage isn’t a percent of the can, it’s a percent of your “Daily Value” which is how much an average person is supposed to have in a day. 100% means it contains the amount you are supposed to have in a day. Not that the can is 100% sugar. So a soda that has 50% DV has the same amount of sugar as bread that has a serving marked as 50% DV.

              That’s interesting, I hadn’t known that. But given the maximum daily intake of sugar is around 40 g, I guess that would make sense mathematically. May I ask, is that percentage purely in terms of mass, or is it also in terms of calories?

        Kids at school are going to get more exercise than most office workers just by going between classes, not to mention PE class.

      So since the majority of consumers that drink red bull are sedentary, you’re saying Red Bull would be fine with losing 90% of their market share because their product was intended to be used before intense activity?

      Or are they perhaps marketing to exactly that segment because they are as callous as people say?

      Ughhhhhhhh the “aCtuAlLy” crowd. Give it a rest. You know this is illogical at best. Just because you’ve retained the commercial talking points doesn’t mean you understand the underlying situation.

      “Some sugar”

      This piss is 26% sugar my guy. And WHO recommends not to ingest more than 25g of added sugar per day.

      I’m sorry, but your comment is so stupid it hurts my feelings.

    The more infuriating part are sugar free energy drinks. Per definition they don’t have any energy in them.

    Is this for the entire 330ml can? If so, that’s ok. Usually juices have 15g/100ml, so I guess RedBull is healthier (not as unhealthy).

    If you believe in a Christian heaven, then the original slogan is still true. They should probably just go with “Red Bull. This shit will kill you” to be more secular.

      If you want to make a claim against aspartame, go for the cancer claim. It’s proven and accepted by the WHO, and many people consume beyond the threshold accepted to cause cancer (something like a few cans of soft drink per day IIRC)

        What? Aspartame is classified as a possible carcinogen, but mostly to encourage further research. There’s an old rat study that claimed to show an increase in variois cancers, but it had a weirdly cancer-free control group and used levels far in excess of “a few cans per day”. AFAIK, no human studies have ever shown any significant correlation. It definitely hasn’t been “proven and accepted by the WHO”.
