Red Bull is all over sports bike industry too, like you need to be extra twitchy going 140mph down hill setting up for a right hander.

Sorry... that was a bit rude of me. 

I see your point.  I think the caffiene wave is about over in marketing.  Get ready for another wave of "healthy" stuff.

I just couldn't resist a good "duh", though.  Forgive me?




Estring -> RE: red bull uses sex to sell drink (1/30/2008 4:03:23 PM)

Not real thrilled about drinking anything called "Red Bull". The only drink with a worse name would be a Japanese sports drink called "Pocari Sweat". And yes it lived up to it's name.

the point is they stayed clear of it for so long and obviously didnt need to use the tactice of sex to sell their product and now all of a sudden they are.

perhaps their sales were down in 2007.



I don't know.  In the UK the red bull adverts have always reminded me of 'CarryOn' type adverts - with a bit of nudgenudge winkwink.  They know sex sells and who their target market is and advertise appropriately.

You must have missed the old ad where a couple sitting on a park bench drank it, floated into the air, and their clothes - including bra and panties - came floating down to the sounds of smacking and slurping and giggles and moans.  that was three or four years ago.

Sex is used to sell everything.  Any ad campagn not currently using it is simply a temporary aberration




faerytattoodgirl -> RE: red bull uses sex to sell drink (1/30/2008 4:16:01 PM)

maybe not shown in canada that one..or it was the first one shown and i didnt see it.  most of the ones ive seen till now were sports related and there was a judge one as well.

So you never got the one with the man shitting on the bird?  Or the promiscuous prince? Or the randy dog?

If you think red bull would kill you because of your heart condition read up on the artificial sweetener they put in your diet soda.

yeah but at least my death will taste good as it pickles my liver and drives my BP up even more. now it even comes in cherry or lime!

honestly though that sweeter is harsh sh*t, i've known people to go through withdrawals almost as intense as herion (or so sayeth their doctors).

fluffyswitch:
If you check out the side effects of heroin and the side effects of the artificial sweetener in your diet soda you would most likely switch to heroin.  At least heroin is not lethal.  Now before you jump in my shit about that go to the PDR and look and see if there is a LD50 for heroin or morphine which is what heroin is made from.
On the other hand the artificial sweetener has a proven lethality, but it is not in the PDR so you will have to look elsewhere for that data.
