I expect that's more cos most large shops won't sell it to under-16s, so they're lifting 'em instead

 

[BrokenBiker]

There is a lad local to me that carries a magnet with him to go on the loot in supermarkets...criminals aren't always daft...that said he wouldn't be caught dead lifting red bull

2 for $5.50 here (about 2.40quid).
Wouldn't consider it a meal deal but

Red bull came in, pretty much, at the same time as the national lottery.

They both seemed like a terrible idea, so ive never done either of them.


Id take a free lottery ticket, but id still turn down a free redbull!

Supposed to keep you awake and alert. I drank one ten minutes before I went to bed. Fast asleep in 5.

I remember the Red Bull ladies attending a sprint I was competing in on the front at West Wallasy last century - a customised Mini with two lycra clad lovelies handing out cans . . . the only full one I've ever handled . . and never tasted.

Seen millions of the unfilled cans since . . .

They're also way better at making racing cars than drinks

They were in that mini at the launch of Rally Ireland in Enniskillen.
It wasn't until they got to the ceremonial start ramp that they discovered that they couldn't get under the arch due to the huge fibreglass red bull can on the roof.

They had to reverse the mini back through the winding route we had set up earlier with barriers until they could get turned round, all witnessed by thousands of rally fans cheering, clapping and laughing. More than a few 'women drivers' comments were made.

Are they anti theft covers, or yet another wierdo design to save the planet from ring pulls or bottle caps?

Anti theft although they're like putting a gate around a building but leaving it unlocked being plastic you can probably just prise it off

 

[angellonewolf]

only repeating what was told to me by a security guard in a certain shop when i was chatting

 

[Nomad]

Not a lot I can say here without upsetting folk or ending up on the naughty step.

Ask me when you see me about my visit to a little Spar shop in the centre of Bristol 2 years ago !

It just shows how much the prices have gone up. Normally the price increases would counter shoplifting. ( now shoplifting is increasing because of need and greed)

Does it not trigger an alarm.
