So it seems i tend to get sucked into trying ‘special edition’ stuff. Like the red bull energy shot. i saw it at the petrol station (think it was $4.45?) and thought it was a keychain but nope it’s a teensy tiny bottle of concentrated red bull! i bought a normal sized can for comparison. It’s the left one. Heh. The label pimps the energy shot as not needing refrigeration which i guess is good if you want to stash it in your bag for emergencies but personally i couldn’t drink it lukewarm. It was very syrupy and well, i think i’m too used to the bubbles in my drinks. But oh boy was i bouncing off the walls in no time!
Back to home
I’m conflicted: I like the buzz but I also like savouring the drink without needing to slam it down. :P

It used to be in the fridge section in either little tiny medicine looking bottles or cans with a very similar red bull icon and covered in warnings about heart attacks if you drank too much.
Of course the warnings were in Chinese so we had no idea what they said until a friend translated for us about a year later!

Thanks for the review. Just saved me $4.45 :)

— red.velvet.ribbons Sep 17, 05:43 PM #some Year 7 died drinking those shots on the way to school didn’t they? O.o
— Lex Sep 17, 09:19 PM #Katy, that ‘chinese’ writing on the bottles is Thai. You’re drinking Thai red bull, which is most likely what this ‘syrup’ is. You get the original red bull from Thai grocers for around a dollar per bottle. 150mL.
— Jay Sep 17, 09:48 PM #Little shots of red bull woah. I’ve never seen them before.
— Katherine Sep 17, 11:10 PM #cute! does the mini shot give you wings as well??! :D
— Betty Sep 18, 12:02 AM #@katy @jay : Those bottles are called kratindang and are awesome! The thai equiv of Redbull.
— Howard Sep 18, 01:36 AM #Wooo concentrated red bull.
— Yas Sep 19, 11:04 AM #The other day I saw V in the similar bottles. I wouldn’t know if that causes me caffein high or sugar high. lol
Its an entire power house within that blue silver can, oh and its tasty
