- The origin of Red Bull, "Krating Daeng."
An Australian was inspired to create Red Bull from this legendary Thai energy drink. Its energetic design with the sun and bull perfectly matches the image. As an energy drink lover, I had to drink it in respect. No carbonation, just a burst of sweet energy. - Taste Rating

- "Krating Daeng" is an energy drink developed by Chaleo Yoovidhya in Thailand in 1976, known as the precursor to what is now called Red Bull. The name "Krating Daeng" refers to a buffalo (strength) and the color red (symbolizing energy), and it became popular as a beverage to replenish physical stamina. The birth of Red Bull was sparked by Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz discovering this drink and having the idea to market it internationally. Krating Daeng is sweet and non-carbonated, allowing it to be enjoyed both mixed and straight. However, only truly "novelty-seekers," rather than those genuinely seeking an "energy boost," might find the absence of carbonation agreeable. Although the author's "respect" for energy drinks may sound peculiar, much like the energy emanating from the text, it seems he also needs a burst of energy himself.
