Hey torinogtman@excite.com, You mentioned that the Thai version we get here in Canada has Taurine, Caffeine and Inositol but then if we click on the link to the govt. website you provided, they only mention D-PANTOTHENIC ACID, NIACIN, VITAMIN B6....So what's the deal?

It even says "vitamin supplement" on their counter displays not energy drink. I have a bottle right in front of me right now and it says:

NIACIN PANTOTHENIC ACID VITAMIN B6 WATER SUGAR

So, Niacin is vitamin B3 and Panthothenic Acid is vitamin B5 (Check on the net if you don't believe me). And according to the Canadian govt. it is illegal not to list all the ingredients on a product.

SO, BASED ON THE FACTS AND CANADIAN LAWS, THE RED BULL WE GET HERE IN CANADA IS ONLY A VITAMIN SUPPLEMENT NOT AN ENERGY DRINK. VITAMIN B IS GOOD FOR YOU BUT IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO ENERGIZING PROPERTIES.

I drink BASE energy drink myself...it taste 100 times better, it works for me, it's cheaper and it's CANADIAN!!! We should all buy canadian products when we have the option anyway!

They also sponsor a lot of young canadian athletes.
