    There’s still a large number of us wondering wtf the market for Red Bull is. I want a drink with the flavor and consistency of watered down Stretch Armstrong guts with more caffeine than anything that has ever existed. It seems like such a weird product in general.

      I’m apparently one of the few people that actually like the taste of redbull, but talking about market, redbull is all about giving people energy, be it real or not is another thing, people buy it when they want to party all night long, when they need to study for a test and don’t want to fall asleep or whatever else related to energy (or just because they like the taste like me lol) so the market does exist.

      And since taste was talked about, I absolutely hate the taste of beer and especially those high hop content ones, but they’re incredibly popular, what’s up with that?

        IDK about others but beer tasted horrible to me for years. After a while it just grew on me. Apparently your taste buds change and get weaker as you grow older so strong tastes start tasting better.
