Red Bull Will Pay $10 To Customers Disappointed The Drink Didn’t Actually Give Them 'Wings'

“Red Bull gives you wings” has been the energy drink’s slogan for nearly two decades. Now the company has agreed to pay out more than $13 million after settling a US class action lawsuit that accused Red Bull of making false and misleading advertising claims.

ed Bull does not, it turns out, give you wings — even in the figurative sense. Red Bull says in its marketing that the drink can improve concentration and reaction speeds, but the plaintiff in the case said these claims were false and lacked scientific support. While the suit did not allege that plaintiffs were disappointed that they didn't suddenly sprout wings, it does say that Red Bull relies a lot on terms like "wings" and "boost" to give consumers the impression that the drink gives people some sort of physical lift or enhancement.

The type of thing that can only happen in the U.S.

It gave me...the runs.😲

I drink a lot of coffee. But a buddy talked me into drinking one of those high amp Monster drinks.

I don’t know how Red Bull compares, but I was so wired I could see sound.

Fair enough, but Kentucky Fried Chicken does give you wings.

No it is an exercise drink they use to give themselves more energy. A guy use to drink it waked out of Goodlife the fitness center and dropped dead on the way to his car. The said he over dosed on it.

Then it's probably a very good thing that you did not also get wings!
It would have given a whole new meaning to 'cloud bursts'! 😆

Oh I did get the wings but they were “under done”.😡

Should have snorted some white powder instead.
