like red bull but wayyyyy cheaper.

ok i know some places like tesco do blue bolt, a version of red bull for 30 p per can instead of 90 p . but summerfields are selling their version

red rooster for...get this... £.99 for 6 ( yes six) cans.

tastes the same as red bull and has the same effect on me as red bull.

it was £1.29 but is now at the moment 99 pence.

a bargain if there ever was one.

Kick in Tescos is exactly like red bull too and about 97p for 1 litre. They sometimes have it on deal 2 for £1.50 i think. Yummm

The Asda version of Red Bull is cheaper and has more caffeine... pretty dangerous stuff if you ask me :P

I'll stick to snorting ground up pro-plus

My local farmfoods store sell red rooster - 3 x 1 litre bottles for £2.00
and a case of cans (20) for £6.00.
Tastes very similar to redbull and a fraction of the cost !

Have a look at http://www.bized.ac.uk/compfact/redbull/redbull7.htm
or just look in Google. Essentially:

Health concerns that have emerged in several countries over problems associated with high intake of caffeine. Red Bull was banned in France and Denmark following the publication of these concerns. It is classified as a medicine in Norway and until recently could only be bought in pharmacies in Japan. As the health and energy soft drinks market has reached maturity, Red Bull is concerned that it is unable to target mass consumption in these countries.
