Oh yuck

Someone I work with suggested that I might want to try a Redbull knock-off - red rain. He even provided a can of said beverage (should have been my first clue - he didn't want it!).

It is vile! It reminds me of the liquid I had to take for a bowel prep before my surgeries. The burning esophagus is not quite as pronounced and I'm hoping that it doesn't have the same effect on my intestines. I left the can on my desk, and mistakenly took a second sip - my co-workers did not appreciate the scream of disgust.

He claims that it is better if the drink is chilled, but I'm not risking it. I'm also thinking I'll never try a Red Bull. Why in the hell would people actually drink these things?

ps - I just looked up Taurine - it was first isolated in Ox bile - need I say more?
