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,....)

Just like Teslas being shitty cars, Red Bull is a crappy beverage. There was never a good reason to drink this junk.

That stuff is so vile. Seriously, the only good thing about it is that you won't waste a lot of money on it to know it's bad given it's cheap. I tried every flavour and all of them are awful.

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

Kong Strong. And it's like half a euro at my Lidl.

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