    Look what i spotted yesterday.....

    While i was out waiting for a bus with my mates to town, I spotted this.....



    and guess what, These chicks were handing out the Redbull 6pack .

    They stopped at a crossroad and Announced them and quite a lot of people ran to them but only a few got them and i was one of the lucky ones, Enjoyed some Chilled redbull on our way to town.

    Anyone else spot this in Manchester yesterday?

    They had a flippin' tent outside my uni for nearly a week, and one of those things.

    I hate the stuff myself. I've had it once on its own (neat... heh.) I occasionally have it in a drink on a night out if I'm getting a bit tired. Otherwise it's YUKKY.

    I'm not sure if its still the case but Red Bull used to sponsor universities so that each student union got one of the cars (some minis some beatles) and a shed full of Red Bull to get rid of.

    There used to be one in Nottingham and Bournemouth, the two towns I went to uni in.

    As for the drink, it's evil and I don't touch it any more.

    mate your not missing out on much, the guy driving one near us was a total prick thinking he was a don becuase he had a massive can of red bull on the back of his borrowed mini.

    red bull is nice with some vodka but couldnt drink to much of it, gives me angry heartburn the next morning

    Living with nurses at Uni put me off Red Bull and Vodka for life. The number of people that collapse and end up in hospital is quite shocking. More importantly however, were the ladies handing out the drinks hot?

    I used to see loads of Beetles in London, although when I saw one the other day it was the first for about a year and a half, was quite surprised in fact. It was an X-reg so had clearly been doing the rounds a while.

    I've never seen a Mini though- that's a propah Mini too, not the BMW abomination.

    As for Red Bull itself- nice, but Lidl do an identical drink for 25p a can, or 19p when it's on offer.....
