My GF used to work for Redbull and she always said it was a marketing company, not a drinks company. Their office is 75% marketing teams who spend all their time lining up gigs, events and promotions. They even have a team who attend illegal dance parties every weekend. One of the interesting things is that the stuff like t-shirts and hats are never given away to punters as freebies - they are only given to sponsored athletes. So you have to 'earn' the rights to wear their branding...
I'm consistently amazed watching primary school kids sculling 500ml cans of Mother on the train in the morning. They would weigh half of what I do - and for me one 375ml can of Red Bull is enough to turn me into a babbling hypo mess.

80mg caffeine in the Redbull, 160mg in the Mother. That said, there's a ton of sugar in there too, 52g for Mother (What's that, 4-5 teaspoons or so?) and Redbull has 27g...
The Redbull is a 250ml can so if you drank the same amount as you did Mother, you'd get exactly the same amount of sugar and caffeine. It's almost like there's a regulated limit and they're putting the maximum in.
It's like having a double shot espresso with 5 sugars in it. I wonder how many parents would be cool with their kids having a coffee like that?

I've watched this before. The funny thing is, the move looks like it should go easier, but knowing how strong these boys are you realise this thing is absolute nails!!
