Well what's the real issue?The media is playing up the whole "They got sued because you don't get wings!!11!!!!11" but that's not really the issue. Same shit they always do.
While the suit did not allege that plaintiffs were disappointed that they didn't suddenly sprout wings, it does say that Red Bull relies a lot on terms like "wings" and "boost" to give consumers the impression that the drink gives people some sort of physical lift or enhancement.
"Even though there is a lack of genuine scientific support for a claim that Red Bull branded energy drinks provide any more benefit to a consumer than a cup of coffee, the Red Bull defendants persistently and pervasively market their product as a superior source of 'energy' worthy of a premium price over a cup of coffee or other sources of caffeine," the suit says.
Well sugar and Caffeine does provide more energy then a cup of coffee. I also think Redbull is about the same price that a lot of people pay for a cup of coffee. I think Tuco is right and it was just a nice way of getting a ton of advertising from a stupid lawsuit.Google what art thou?
I don't really care either which way. I DO care how all the headlines are making it sound.Well sugar and Caffeine does provide more energy then a cup of coffee. I also think Redbull is about the same price that a lot of people pay for a cup of coffee. I think Tuco is right and it was just a nice way of getting a ton of advertising from a stupid lawsuit.
No proof of purchase required -- you can still get your $10 or $15 worth of Red Bull stuff to give it a shot! (Actually less than $10, because the maximum amount of the settlement surely already ran out.)I've never had a red bull.
I've never even wanted one.
