Red Bull - European but Far right
Buy European but ... Also with ethical considerations.
Red Bull might sound cool, but they have their own TV station in Austria. (servus TV) And that station js beyond far right. Spreading disinformation, and Russian propaganda, Corona Bullshi, Ivermectint, cleaning stuff with chlorid, climate change deniers, ... If there is a conspiracy they support it ...
(And it's also not very healthy,....)
Since the caffeine in energy drinks likely doesn't come from EU and ppl drink it for that, you can just buy guarana and mix it in your own drink (i.e. grape or apple juice, which can come from EU).
However, be aware that pure caffeine (which is an alternative and is better soluble) is very potent and can easily be lethally overdosed as it is hard to measure such small amounts, while guarana can be dosed with a teaspoon as per the instructions on packages.
