Thai Red Bull

[Superstar Punani]

Ho-leeee SHIT!!!

I saw these while picking up some Balut and checking out the Hot Asian Chicks at an Asian supermarket



Behold- Red Bull that comes in brown vials. I picked one up to check it out at 99 cents apiece.

I opened it and I swear it was liquid crack- the red bull taste is there, minus carbonation, and a stronger syrupy taste and texture. You know when you go to a fast food joint and they fuck up the soda fountain mixture and add too much syrup? It was just like that.

Anyway I pounded one at 12:30am, drove all night to Tahoe in the shittiest weather available, my eyes as round as saucers, heart pounding, and adrenaline coursing through my veins. It must have been the equivalent of 6 cans of westernized Red Bull. I got there at 5:30am still wired, slept a couple hours and was functioning fine at 7:30.

Bottom line- I highly recommend this shit. Get to your Asian food store to score the original Red Bull, and scope out some Hot Asian Chicks while you're at it.

I know what you're saying, supu.

That stuff is available in gas stations all over my area and my experience with it was similar to yours. It felt like something that should have been injected.

Sketchy shit when you take the night bus from Bangkok and the driver is downing about three of those. Seems to be the national addiction over there, little bottles of that shit littered all over the place. They say that there are a couple of stronger brews over there that I was too scared to try. Those energy drinks have a government-mandated labeled limit of 3 per day.

[H-man]

I have a bottle of that stuff sitting in my fridge. A buddy of mine bought it at a roadside convenience store in Brownfield Maine run by a Pakistani family. It comes complete with Arabic writing and a warning from the guy behind the counter to only drink it when nothing else is working. I always wondered how strong it would really be.

[Tap]

you know it's strong when the guy behind the counter hands it to you and says, "Now it's your problem."

[Spats]

PSA for Utards: You can buy it at the Asian supermarket on 900 S (I think the cross street is 400 E). At least you could two years ago.

I didn't think it was that much stronger than regular Red Bull, but YMMV.

Nothing, however, approaches the seriousness of the Japanese energy drinks that contain about two cigarettes worth of nicotine. Illegal to import to the USA. I have one left which I haven't dared to drink, because the last one nearly made me pass out.

[RootSkier]

Nicotine...wow. I am now having flashbacks to my first dip when I was 13...

light-headed, dizzy, nauseous, no thanks.

Oh yeah, I also took a bong rip in Argentina that my Israeli "friends" didn't bother to tell me was 75% tobacco.

Talk about a buzz I could do without...What a crappy drug.

You could stay up all night slamming Honey Pie......Ooooooo Doggy!

It's like Redline body building drink. Available at GNC.

That stuff is borderline unsafe... Have you read the stories about people blacking out and getting tackachardia (sp?) from that stuff? Not good.

Stay away from that shit, a guy at the gym took that and ended up going to the ER

Taken once and not to be taken again...
yeah I was pretty shaky on that stuff.

Exactly.

Of course its strong . You think skiing waist deep is hard after doing it for a week, nothing saps your energy like the red light districts of Thailand. You need that stuff and more there. After living there for six months I was living on Thai Red Bull/Vodka and Viagra. What a way to go. When I returned the family said I looked awful. No shit, jeez try humping 5 different ladies a day for six months, of course I look like shit . But oh boy what a Cheshire cat grin I had .

The whole Thai male culture is hooked on the stuff. I traveled with a monk for a few weeks and he even inbibed in it daily. Bus and taxi drivers are the kings of downing the stuff. As posted before, many different and stronger varieties available over there. Just remember no F.D.A. protecting your lilly white ass.

Screw the redbull - did anyone check out Balut???!!!! I like to think I am culturally sensitive but that is pushing the limits...

There's not much that will give me pause when it comes to food, but that just made the list. Damn!

Oh wait, they eat it before the bones firm up - when it's still just a sack of flesh. Unless, of course, you're in Vietnam:

...The Vietnamese prefer their Balut matured from 19 days up to 21 days, when it is old enough to be recognizable and has bones that will be firm but tender when cooked.

[freeskisquaw]

Yeah, I have some vietnamese friends who I USED to go to dinner with. Keyword: Used to.

[flaminskeletor]

the guy that used to own the dojo that i went too had brought back a case of the thai red bull, but he never shared it

I don't know if the caffeine is what's supposed to give the "kick" in Red Bull, but the caffeine level in the drink is not that high. Something like a cup of coffee I think, and about 40% of the typical caffeine pill you get at Safeway. So the normal redbull is more hype than anything if you ask me. The Thai version sounds more legit, but again not more than a typical Vivarin or two.
