Gandtee Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The Red Bull heir was not available to comment on "Living a humble life". He was not in the country to answer questions to the reporter or police who want him for allegedly killing one of their own in his high powered sports car. Morality may be a better attribute than humility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing original, just same old same old. Grow up.....this is the real world we live in and it has been going on for centuries. Oh come on now - you dont expect them to get a life do you? Surely you understand that they only have whinging on TV about Thais and Thailand, and sucking down beer all day/night. Leave them alone and ignore is my advice to you - they will only argue khrapp and delight in their misery if you respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity it didn't occur to them to strap the grandson in. He's fond of speed. From 24 miles up, the worst that would have happened would have been him killing himself.

gdgbb Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 6 hours ago, performance said: Yes and we need to clarify as this article is false. RED BULL is not owned by Thailand. Although they like to advertise it. They own only the distribution rights here. They did not invent anything. Thais are great at talking and selling. They Mai Dai invent. There is something else that needs to be clarified, Bloomberg did not say that Thailand [sic] owned Red Bull. The Yoovidhya family does own 51% of Red Bull GmbH though and you'll find that Chaleo Yoovidhya did invent Krating Daeng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krating Daeng (Red Gaur) was developed and introduced in Thailand in 1976 by Chaleo Yoovidhya. 2. In 1984, Austrian businessman Dietrich Mateschitz tasted the drink and then entered into a partnership with Chaleo and they produced a western version which was called Red Bull using Chaleo's original formula, which was later adapted for western tastes by Mateschitz. World marketing of the Red Bull products has been the work of Mateschitz. 3.The Yoovidhya family own 51% of Red Bull as well as owning Krating Daeng.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaleo_Yoovidhya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomerangutang Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 So let's see; caffeine is a legal drug, and hemp will get you put in jail. Have there been any studies of what % of Thai rapists/law-breakers were high on Red Bull when they committed their crimes? Judging by the number of empty bottles along every meter of every Thai road, I'd venture at least 50% were wired on Red Bull when committing a crime. Yet it's not classified as a harmful drug.

Johpa Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 5 hours ago, performance said: So be it then. But the drink was founded in Austria originally. The Thai was not the founding father as they wish to believe. The reformulated. and now carbonated Krating Deng was rebranded in the translated version of "Red Bull", and the reformulation and rebranding was done in Austria, but it is a Thai drink with Thais as majority owners. The slight changes in formulation and the carbonation do not make it an Austrian drink. Krating Deng and the basic formula for Red Bull are of Thai origin and that is why the now notorious family in questions is as wealthy as they now are. They didn't get that wealthy selling their energy drink in the crowded Thai energy drink market. I was drinking some Krating Deng long before Red Bull came out. But to be honest, I prefer the old school Lipo myself even though it is a few baat more at 7/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 There a loads of caffeine drinks now. So, the Austrian guy reinvented it and marketed it world wide. I remember Kreting Dang, Pla Chlam Khow, M100 way before I ever saw a Red Bull. I could never understand why people used to mix Krating Deng/Lipo with Mekhong?

Foreign Jim Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The only one people will remember is the one, Vorayuth Yoovidhya, who was high on cocaine when he dragged a Thai police officer to his death in a Ferrari. Has Vorayuth even done a single day of penance? Nope, he ignored all calls to come in and fled to Singapore for a bit. Oh, and Redbull, the 'energy' drink, is crap, too.
