Red Bull - European but Far right

Buy European but ... Also with ethical considerations.

Red Bull might sound cool, but they have their own TV station in Austria. (servus TV) And that station js beyond far right. Spreading disinformation, and Russian propaganda, Corona Bullshi, Ivermectint, cleaning stuff with chlorid, climate change deniers, ... If there is a conspiracy they support it ...

(And it's also not very healthy,....)

Damn, red bull is my energy drink of choice. Anyone got a good alternative that doesn't use alternative sweetener? So many of them use them and I can't stand the flavor they have.

In the UK, not a fan of tea or coffee. I rarely use caffeine at all, but there are some days where I'm falling asleep at my desk and I need something.

Any recommendations?

20 minute nap under the desk.

Also, it's full of sugar and caffeine and is really bad for you.

Redbull is trash anyways. The only good thing about Redbull is Vegas Bombs. Otherwise skip out on this trash energy drink

on the bright side, red bull tastes like shit

Also they push their athletes to take more and more risk for the show until they end up dead.

I used to be fine of their corporate cool-guys skating bullcrap. Not anymore

The cheap LIDL alternative is super good, just like Freeway Cola wich is also super good.

Iโ€™m in the supermarket right this moment and I got a โ€œNo Limitโ€. The website seems to suggest itโ€™s either French or Swiss, I have no clear idea of their politics though.

after having lived in Austria..I'm not buying anything from that racist nazi country.

Their F1 team is notorious for one of their most senior staff members spewing racist bullshit with no consequences from ownership, so this doesn't shock me.

Edit: and their team principal having serious sexual misconduct allegations that got "investigated" and quickly swept under the rug.
