I tried some of this stuff this morning to give me a little jolt. i figured, hey why not it's only $1.50 while other Red Bull products are like $3... and I like cola.

This sh*t is downright horrible! It taste like a nasty off brand cola with some weird metal aftertaste and a bunch of other weird crap goin on. I couldn't even take 2 sips before I threw it out.

You've been warned.... stay away. Hell, Coke Blak is better than this stuff.

I actually like Red Bull Cola. It doesn't have HFCS and tastes very similar to RC Cola. If you like RC Cola, you should like this.

I'll second the OP. Back when I use to have a job... some red bull reps came in and handed some out for free.

(mitch hedberg)Here, you throw this away(/mitch headberg)

I love these drinks, I have a bottle on my desk. I am in New York and they have it in many places but I went on their website to find other locations that sells it, they only listed NJ and NY.

Have you ever had cinnamon before? Red bull cola has a lot of cinnamon in it, and I can guarantee you that that is what the aftertaste was, not some weird metal thing.

yeah the main flavors in RBC are Ginger and cinnamon. I think it tastes like this really really strong all-natural ginger ale i used to get...my brother and i dubbed it "fire water" because it was so strong it almost burned your throat. :laugh:

Galley Gourmet. Left side just past the pancake house in Bay harbor. That area is beautiful. My family had a house on walloon for about 14 years... i spent every summer up there since i was 2 weeks old. :) unfortunantly we had to sell it a few years ago. I have every intention of finding another place up there some day. Galley groumet has amazing stone fired pizza. Everything there is pretty good. the owner, Roger, is a wine wizard.

Don't they also have a coffee shop? Pretty sure I've grabbed some coffee there before.

I actually meant to make a thread about this a few months ago when I tried it.

I was at some event and there were these Red Bull girls handing them out for free so I tried one.

It was very "meh" it reminded me of the natural sodas that health food stores carry and places like Whole Foods.

Plus it doesn't even have high amounts of caffeine, which IMO is a bad move on Red Bulls part since everyone associates them with energy drinks.

just buy some Canadian coke. Its made with real sugar.

Is it? I regularly drink COLA, and everytime I read this here I check and verify that the can I'm drinking is in fact HFCS.

Maybe it is because I'm in TO? Maybe it's because I suck at reading labels?

RBC tastes like what one would imagine concentrated cat afterbirth combined with pig vomit to taste like. I'd rather eat vulture spleen than ever take a sip of that vile shit again.

No, I've never tried cinnamon before... wow, what does it taste like? :roll:

RBC does NOT taste like cinnamon at all. Ginger, maybe a hint of it. But the rest is all ass.

Have you ever put a penny in your rectum and then sucked on it?

probably.

I sell it at my work. I sold it when I worked in a variety store.

Canadian Coke ingredients list is: carbonated water, sugar/glucose-fructose, caramel colour, phosphoric acid, natural flavour and caffeine.

There is also some concern regarding the usage of high fructose corn syrup in the production of Coca-Cola. Since 1985 in the U.S., Coke has been made with high fructose corn syrup, instead of sugar glucose or fructose, to reduce costs.
