Red Bull is originally from Thailand. It has been around here for ages. Shark is also from Thailand. The first energy drink here in Thailand, I think, was a brand called "Lipo" with a logo of two fingers showing the same "V" victory sign made by Winston Churchill. Not sure if this too has been launched abroad.
The Thai original version is more concentrated than the "international" version and if you drink that, you'll really get a kick in the ass.
I guess if they didn't water it out, it'd be illegal in most western countries.
This Austrian guy licensed the rights and brand name from the Thai company and launched it internationally. Needless to say, the Thai family behind the original Red Bull is filthy rich now.
