oh yeah, a title

Lately it seems fairly impossible to spend more than two minutes in Dublin city centre without having a can of Red Bull Cola thrown at you by zealous marketeers. I’d dodged them all til now – they have rubbish aim and I’m frisky like a mountain goat – but today I discovered that they’ve infiltrated deli counters and they’re handing them out with pies. And I’m a man who likes a pie.

I presume they’re looking to drum up sales through word of mouth, so I feel obliged to record my thoughts.

Pros: Pleasant whiff of ice cream float when you open the can. Free.

Cons: Lingering aftertaste of cheap vodka as filtered through a hobo’s bladder. Can looks like it was designed by Maurice Pratt on his lunch break.

Would go well with: I don’t know, I was going to buy a Yorkie but I got kind of disoriented.

Verdict: D+, would not drink again.

    Now do white lemonade

  12. 12 Colm

    Oh mercy, white lemonade. I don’t know. White lemonade is the most inconsistently maybe-delicious-but-probably-not thing in the universe.

    I read that as Lingerie aftertaste.

    Hmm.

    Aye, it’s awful shite. And I actually paid for it a couple of months ago, long before they began putting it in the taps as they are now.
    It might go well with my crackpipe.

    I can’t imagine paying for it, even if I didn’t know what it was like. The can is so cheap-looking. I always got a weird impression that it was some dodgy imported rip-off of the brand.

    jesus christ, ‘cheap vodka filtered through a hobo’s bladder’? i’ll never drink red bull again. even the thought of it makes me gag now.
