Red Bull’s new flavor options are red, blue, and silver.

With the launch of the energy drink Red bull some 12 years ago in the United States, the Austrian-based company has raked in a mint as the energy drink of choice for pretty much anyone with some impressive stunts and ad campaigns.  Well, now you’re going to have more options of Red Bull to choose from, just in case you don’t like its distinctive citrus taste.  Red Bull has announced Red Bull Editions, flavored Red Bull in distinctive metal cans.  Red Bull Editions comes in red, silver, and blue cans for cranberry (red), lime (silver), and blue (blueberry) options.  Talk about giving your creativity wings!

“Taste is a barrier for the category, and taste is a barrier for Red Bull.  After 12 years in the U.S., we can now introduce flavors without confusion.  It’s about expanding the consumer base,” said Ann Taylor, vice president of marketing.

Red Bull finds itself in a battle with competitor Monster for the energy drink crown.  While Red Bull brings in more US money, Monster actually has a slight edge in market share, with 34.8 percent to Red Bull’s 29.5 percent.  Other options for Red Bull include Red Bull Total Zero (a no-calorie, no-sugar and no-carb option) and a Red Bull cola.  By comparison, Monster has six different varieties.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]
