What does Red Bull taste like?
 
Everyone I know that has tried Red Bull for the most part likes it, but like myself, none of us can figure out what it all tastes like! I know I know the taste from somewhere, but I have no clue what it is.

So my question is, what does Red Bull's taste remind you of?

not having ever partaken of that particular libation, i have no freaking idea...

paddyjoe 05-25-2008 04:04 PM

liquid smarties......

BadNick 05-25-2008 04:30 PM

ugh ...I hate that shit. But smarties is close since to me that tastes like overly sweet chemically enhanced candy. Of course anything would taste half decent mixed 50/50 with decent vodka...but why spoil the vodka when you can mix it with something else ...anything else! Sorry, I just hate that crap. IMO stay away and if you're so addicted to caffine that you need it ...well stop it.

Desperation. And battery acid.

A bad batch of fluoride rinse.

Take the yellowy clear stuff that comes out of a zit that's already been popped, mixed 8 to 1 with robotussin, and fed to a diabetic rat in an artificial sweetener toxicity test. That rat's urine would taste like red bull.

It gives your lunch wings.

BadNick 06-12-2008 03:57 AM

gummi bears are GOOD! ...Red Bull is snot

chucktaylor 06-12-2008 04:17 AM

They ARE good, but I wouldnt drink a beverage made out of 'em *bah*
And Red Bull tastes like these really bad bears with a lot of chemical ingredients. I like the natural ones ;)

Agreed. I just pick them right off the gummibush in my yard, fresh and natural ;)

...unlike Red Bull which IMO tastes like a concoction of bull piss...well more like bull bile since it has taurine in it:

Taurine: also known as 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, taurine was originally isolated from bull bile in 1827. Now it is also made synthetically.

Strangely enough, or maybe not, when you google "bull piss" you'll see a couple links and pics of Red Bull. I rest my case.

OMFG a gummi bear tree

Far as I can tell, Red Bull tastes very much like a cocktail of Robitussin, flat Dr Pepper, slightly spoiled Maneschewitz sweet wine, and the stuff dentists put on your teeth to bond and seal them.

It is undoubtedly one of the worst-tasting beverages I have ever had, in addition to which, its "energy lift" was markedly short in duration, and caused a certain unpleasant queasiness.

Why anyone would drink it on purpose is beyond me.

ottopilot 06-14-2008 08:17 AM

The worst thing about Red Bull are the runny Red Bullshits afterwards.

"it burns!"

telekinetic 06-16-2008 09:24 AM

It tastes exactly like the little pastel gummy cars for sale at Ikea (or, I assume, in Sweden).

Someone go try some and tell me they don't!

Grasshopper Green 06-17-2008 06:17 PM

I think Red Bull tastes like carbonated Necco Wafers...*shudder*. Why anyone would ruin perfectly good vodka with this nasty concoction is beyond me.

That's the perfect description of the taste.

Yeccchhh! Eating spoonfuls of sugar would be a less expensive and more natural alternative.

zombies like red bull

So my question is, what does Red Bull's taste remind you of?

Liquid carbonated sweet tarts.

Personally I love the flavor but can't stand the thought of paying their asking price for it.

Martian 06-26-2009 05:29 PM

I enjoy energy drinks immensely and drink more of them than is probably healthy.

Magpie says it tastes like medicine.

noodle 06-26-2009 05:42 PM

walmart-generic (equate?) red "nyquil" with flouride treatment gel. And Necco wafers. the sugarfree tastes more like smarties than Necco.
I was on the phone with a guy who literally had a psychotic break after 9 RBVs. He was NEVER the same again and I later found myself two steps from an RO against the guy... my friend's boyfriend, not even mine!
I don't touch the stuff much any more. Rather have coffee, personally. Soda if I'm desperate.

Red Bull tastes like sweet shit.

jpw16 06-26-2009 10:09 PM

like shit

Smarties. Afghanistan.

They used to give us cases of it in the hope that we would stay awake for 16-18-20 hour missions for a week.

Doesn't work that well, caffeine. Crushing half a dozen piss-warm Red Bulls a day is bad for your soul.

Army decided Red Bull was too expensive (or something) and switched to something far worse.

"Rip-Its."

Do you have to be in the air force to get modafinil? Even at street prices, it's cheaper than half a dozen cans of redbull.

Gabbyness 06-26-2009 11:04 PM

You guys ever see the story about the two young Marines who invented the "energy chew?" Apparently each "dip" has enough caffeine to put you on your ass.

Ah, here it is:

2 corporals revved up about energy dip - MarineCorpsTimes.com

Sorry for the threadjack! I still maintain Red Bull tastes like sugar-coated battery acid . . . and I love it.

Daniel_ 06-27-2009 01:14 AM

It tastes like an old fashioned sweet shop. On fire.

elise1 07-01-2009 08:24 PM

taste like cocaine lol

Verdan 07-01-2009 09:24 PM

Reminds me of the stuff in pixie sticks. Useful to drink on long road trips.

Actually, I guess I didn't actually drink it. Perhaps the thought that I would have to drink it if I got sleepy kept me awake...

I agree, the worst drink I have ever tasted.:eek:

thespian86 07-01-2009 10:06 PM

I am an expert as I have debated with many red bull efficienado over the taste of the popular energy drink. the conclusion:

3/4 Melted Blue Freezie
1/4 Extract of Nerds candy

Question answered.

ItWasMe 07-01-2009 10:41 PM

It tastes like carbonated sour lemonade with a heavy dose of pepper and a splash of cough syrup.

CinnamonGirl 07-02-2009 12:23 AM

Wow. Lotsa non-fans of Red Bull. I don't think it tastes that bad. Red Bull & Malibu rum used to be my "club drink." Tasted like candy, kept me out on the floor dancing (okay, didn't really need THAT part of if), and kept a good buzz going.

If you're talking straight energy drinks, though, I prefer Rock Star.

powerclown 07-02-2009 09:07 AM

Tastes like bubblegum flavor to me. Of all the energy drinks I like Red Bull best. Monster is ok, but an entire can is twice the size of a redbull and its too much sugar. I drink Red bull as a coffee subsititute.

QED. IF you look at the ingredients, it actually says "Aritifical flavorings: 3/4 melted blue freezie, 1/4 Extract of Nerds...

Not really, but this is what it tastes like to me.
