    The world has too many drinks where sellers try to get us to pay a premium for water + flavourings and shipping and stocking that water. At least half the people I do sports with fill their own bottles at the tap. How about a sports drink concentrate - either liquid or even better dry tablets to disolve (much better for times you need to carry them). Commission to Oxfam please if this makes your fortune!

    My preference is for a plain flavour, not too sweet. Roses Lime cordial normally...

    Cost 69p
    Wow. None of the above posters are helping!

    He's doing it for a job interview, he might not like energy drinks either but it's clearly important!

    I would say Strawberry and Lime and 69p :)

    Although tbh I pay 20-49p at home bargains so probably wouldn't pay 69p :)

    Cost 79p
    I said Orange, Lemon & Pineapple, 79p. Caffeine would be an added bonus, for which I would pay another 10-20p.

    I think MSE is going to be quite a price-conscious audience though, which might skew your findings re price.

    I meant like Lucozade not Red Bull (is that one?)

    Lucozade is the one I meant it has a disclaimer on it.

    Yes, but market research is supposed to cover all bases.

    I find it interesting that some people have said what they are willing to pay for a drink without any indication of the size bottle/box/can.

    Strawberry and Lime
    Assuming it's a regular -ish- bottle like lucazade etc, then i'd say 69p (although when i did have the money to buy such things i have bought it at 99p) and strawberry & lime
    Save, save, save, save.

    And clearly those who are saying 'I don't like it' are not the target audience!

    They make it sound as if Red Bull will be going out of business.
