Red Bull Shot

Although apparently available since last year I’d never noticed Red Bull Shots until I stumbled across this display in a London shop.

Here’s the marketing blurb:

The new non-carbonated Red Bull Energy Shot has been specifically developed to provide a quick blast of energy when on the go, whether on the football pitch or in a business pitch. Sold in a compact size and not requiring chilling before drinking, the shot is perfect for those who need energy whilst on the move. The Energy Shots’ 60 ml plastic bottle is conveniently sized whether kept in a gym-bag or a handbag and whether you are driving a long journey or driving a boardroom meeting.

I wonder how these drinks compare the the tiny energy drinks in Japan? I used to love those things but I’m sure they weren’t the healthiest drinks in the world…

    I picked up a few of these and the Relentless ones going through the stations near work. I got them because they were free, but couldn’t bring myself to drink them. It seems like they are basically caffine and sugar. So you would likely buzz, then crash.

    On another note, today I picked up some Marmite breakfast bars for free at the station. Don’t like Marmite, but they were free :D

  • Relentless ones?

    Yeah, you may have made a good decision not drinking them.

    Marmite breakfast bars? Let me try them for you ;)

    hi Darren - I avoid stimulants like Red Bull like the plague - not healthy in my opinion! Much prefer a bottle of water, fruit, and plenty of sleep to give real energy, rather than fake energy which always leads you down the wrong path.

  • Dom, I agree, I won’t go near drinks like Red Bull either. There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep to feel good but I can’t say I get a good night’s sleep all that often. Then, fruit… 5 a day?!
