  They might make a nice tasting drink but they also promote fascism and anti-science conspiracy theories.

  Servus TV is a TV station based in Wals-Siezenheim in the Austrian state of Salzburg and owned by Red Bull Media House GmbH, a subsidiary of Red Bull GmbH, which also publishes the magazine Servus in Stadt und Land. The station is the successor to Salzburg TV, founded in 1995 and rebranded in 2009. It is politically aligned with the far right.

  The TV station has been associated with the political far right and conspiracy theorising.[2][3] As part of the talk show “Talk im Hangar 7”, the leading figure of the neo-fascist identitarian movement IBÖ Martin Sellner was invited to a panel discussion on the topic “How dangerous are our Muslims?”.[4]

  In his weekly commentary series “Der Wegscheider”, the director of Servus TV Ferdinand Wegscheider [de] spread controversial and unsubstantiated information about the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] This frequently took the form of posing rhetorical questions. For example, he explained that the vaccination was “insufficiently tested” and contained “genetically modified substances”. He further claimed that the administration of the antiparasitic ivermectin would be an adequate therapy.[5] In 2021, the press club Concordia filed an official complaint against the broadcaster at the communications authority of Austria (Kommunikationsbehörde Austria).

    Monster Rehab was my favorite. It was basically tea with a bunch of other nasty things. Not carbonated, didn’t smell like perfume. I loved it.

      They tend to contain Taurine, which is quite the interesting substance.

        They haven’t sold burn in Sweden for about a decade.

  There are 6 or 7 kinds of Monster that are better than any kind of Red Bull taste-wise. They’re also 35% larger for the same cost.

  I will concede the blue summer edition Red Bulls were pretty good
