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,....)

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.

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.

Regular good night sleep and avoiding junk food will give you wiiiiings

[โ€“] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

You can't put that in a can to drink though

Club Mate is my energy drink of choice. Made in Germany.

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

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.

Would you like to share your experience?

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

[โ€“] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

on the bright side, red bull tastes like shit

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

[โ€“] Jonnynny@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

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

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.
