I saw that on the newspaper....redbull shouldn't be that stupid....must be an isolated case.

Whee, 50,000 cans of red bull, and you can boil down a Kilo! I'm rich!

.04 g / liter
can size .5 liter
50 cans / gram
1000 grams / 50,000 cans of legal importation

According to Google, the street value of a kilo sold in 60g sizes is about $60,000

$8 / 2 liters
So, with a cost of $200,000 in red bull, I can pull back $60,000 in illicit drug sales...
... So now I'll need a lab with a few pyrex beakers and some Bunsen burners... a lab worker or two, a street marketer.... this is sounding better and better!

I need to figure out a name for red bull minus the coca.... Decoca Energy Now sound good enough?

edit: .04 micrograms... not such a good business proposition anymore, requiring some 50 million cans

I thought cans were around 250mL. They sell 375mL ones at the convenience store next to the law school, but I'm not that hardcore.

In any case, the only reason why they would be banned is because it tastes horrible. I only drink it occasionally to keep me awake.

maybe, I thought .5 liters seemed big; I just googled it. I haven't had a red bull in about 6 years (or any soda for that matter).

hmm, is this only on products in Europe, or the ones imported also?
