I'm sure when many of you when you hear "Red Bull" you automatically think of Jager Bombs. For some Jagermeister may have actually introduced you to this energy drink. But when I hear the crisp sound of a freshly opened red bull it takes me to a different place.

I'm in my junior year of high-school sitting in my Cross-Country coach's classroom. A man comes in with a briefcase and sample products. He places a paper cup on my desk. That's odd. The man then went into a speech about running and focusing and energy. Still chatting, he poured a yellowish liquid into my paper cup. "Wouldn't it be nice if you had an advantage during that race or upcoming exam"? I nodded in agreement. He gestured for me to take a sip of the mystery beverage, and so I did. To my surprise it was actually quite tasty. I felt a little rush as it gushed along my taste buds. He continued his lecture. A little time passed and he interrupted himself to ask how I felt. I wasn't as tired, I felt a little rejuvenated. It may have been my imagination, his sermon, or maybe that stuff actually worked! To this day I still don't know what the mystery beverage was but I have a strong suspicion that was in fact the very same product you can now purchase in that blue and silver can.

Like any substance, especially those containing caffeine, Red Bull can be very addictive. Be it the taste or the fact that it really does "give you wings" I, for one, am hooked. Red Bull is an energy drink that really works. It supplies tired minds and exhausted bodies with vital substances that have been lost. It provides immediate energy and vitamins. Red Bull also speeds up the metabolism, helping you to lose weight.

Red Bull is an energy drink produced only in Austria. From there it is shipped world-wide. You can expect the same Red Bull in France as you would in Mexico except for a few different vitamins due to national regulations. Some main ingredients include Taurine, Caffeine, Glucuronolactone, and B-group vitamins. Another main ingredient in Red Bull is Glucose or sugar.

It gives you wings!
