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.
