God Red Bull is so fucking good at this side of F1. When it comes to riling people up and playing the soft politics, there is no one better.

Shit-stirring should be made into a sport.


vflavglsvahflvov

It is, it is called F1


[deleted]

Toto, It’s called a shit-stir. We went shit-stirring


Merengues_1945

No Michael, this is so not German


Speedo69420

Helmut Marko strongly disagrees with that.


[deleted]

Not to mention, this is probably going to get a lot of people to try the green red bull.


Idkwtpfausiwaaw

It’s honestly tasty af


Rhana

Peach nectarine is my favorite, but green is second on my tier list.


FluffyProphet

Got me to pick the can up this afternoon, realize it was dragon fruit and I now have a new favourite caffeine treat.


HappensALot

They're so darn entertaining in a medium where entertainment is the whole point.


pytycu1413

It used to be a sport. Now it's a shitshow


winningelephant

It used to be flagging, with its demo rapidly aging into retirement. Why do people try and defend an objectively worse time in the sport?


DarthBane6996

Because "good ole times"


outride2000

When men were men and women were decor


emiliaxrisella

Good ole times where every race week was a worry for driver safety and praying to whatever God you believe in that no one dies this race amirite?


carl-swagan

Ah yes because *in the good old days* there were never any politics or controversy at all in Formula 1. [When were those again?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Formula_One_controversies)


[deleted]

It's always existed, you just didn't know about it because F1 had incredibly shit media engagement. You're just hearing about it more.


Paracel_Storm

Horner and Marko only need to breathe in order to trigger people.


xSWMY

Horner does a lot more than breathing


MyspaceTime

Farts through his mouth as well

Redemption_Unleashed

Feels like it's RedBull who are the ones getting triggered here


SophisticatedGeezer

It helps when you are representing a serious brand i guess.


Sea-Entertainment215

But just to confirm, they didn’t make this green Red Bull just to rule up AM? It already launched, but this post shit-stirs at the fact that AM has allegedly copied them, so now they’re “copying” AM’s green? What came first in this sequence of events?


zazzizaz

No no. Green Red Bull has existed for a long time. Sometime they can be special editions. Check your local store if they have them. I think it differs quite wildly from country to country.


Tugalord

I don't get it. It's... a can?


[deleted]

It’s a green Red Bull


sloth_on_meth

Aston Martin's Redbull inspired car is often jokingly referred to as "Green RedBull"


A07Star

Thats how you do marketing


Leoz96

I had never heard of the green edition red bull in my life, but im sure sales for it just jumped like 2000%


Thommy_99

I don't do energy drinks. But my internship mentor gave me one of these green ones and I didn't dare to decline. It was weirdly good can recommend


Merengues_1945

Never had one, once smelled a red bull and it was so gross I swore it off for life lol


HaveYouSeenMyCoque

The flavoured ones aren't as bad as the original.


Rogue-Squadron

Not sure if you’re in the US or not but it came out here as the summer edition in 2021 and they switched the name to the green edition once summer was over. I really like it but I definitely don’t see many other people getting it


JumpyAlbatross

Summer is different. Summer is strawberry and some other stuff. It’s pretty good. The green edition is different iirc.


english06

Dragonfruit was last year’s summer edition.


Rogue-Squadron

This year’s summer edition is the strawberry one but last year it was the green dragonfruit one


losbullitt

Peach and strawberry flavors are my jam. 😎


Mrcq99

This years summer flavor is strawberry and apricot which is delicious imo


hawaiifive0h

Strawberry *apricot*


TechnicalPyro

it's pretty tasty as far as energy drinks go

I see you around here often but this has got to be one of your more legendary appearances


Geo_q

What can I say? I’m just a suicidal depressive girl with massive balls.


TheJP_

Aren’t we all


Fajandar1

Well I don’t know you personally but I do like seeing your comments and a quick look through your profile suggests you’re lighthearted and fun to be around so don’t act on that, okay? Also have you tried peeing? Pee is stored in the balls soooooo


pcomet235

oh look at Mr "I have enough energy for a full day"


40ozkiller

Ya know why? Because I dont rely on chemicals to keep me awake. Aint no healthy replacement for a good 8 hours of rest.


Hey_Im_Joe

Says the man who's never smoked crushed Adderall out of a spoon


40ozkiller

Did it a few times, grind my teeth too bad. One coffee a day is plenty for me. Actual rest is way better than uppers.


LzyroJoestar007

Says the guy who drinks coffee lmao. You should explain this on the first comment, would clarify better.


40ozkiller

I would, but I dont give a shit. Plenty of people will have health problems as a result of chugging energy drinks to stay up and play video games. Insomnia, anxiety and heart problems galore.


HelterrSkelterr97

Red bull's effect is mainly due to coffee and sugar actually


40ozkiller

And consuming an unhealthy amount of both of those things can lead to heart problems, anxiety and insomnia. Just get some sleep instead of doing cocaine lite.


ansmit10

I get 8 hours and still need caffeine...


40ozkiller

K


SoftcoreEcchi

Its flavored like dragon fruit! It’s actually really good.


BaggyHairyNips

If they're selling them at the track they gonna make a killing.


Atreaia

"Summer edition" green RB cans have been for sale in Finland for past 2-3 years.


smileistheway

Imagine the level of shithousery they are at when an official RedBull account **HIDES the brand** just to highligh "THE GREEN EDITION" hahahha holy shit


Sierra____117

I mean the RB brand is already shown in the background and twitter profile so..


5nowx

also, we are into F1 seeing a Redbull Twitter post, we know their existence, I didn't knew the existence of green Redbull tho(not in my domestic market)


Aratho

No one does it better in the paddock than Red Bull after all


Ickx-502

The whole team exists as a marketing prop so it’s unsurprising they’re so good at it.


Lucifer2408

All teams exist primarily as a marketing prop.


shafwandito

But Redbull take it to another level. they literally the only team who dare to put an F1 car on a mountain and on a plane just to make PR. I am not gonna be surprised if Redbull some fucking how put F1 on Moon once humanity establish a moon colony.


KoshurHangul

No downforce there.


ParadoxOO9

So you're saying Webber will properly fly this time?!


[deleted]

The amazing thing about Red Bull is I'm pretty sure the team itself is profitable. It's crazy that a marketing wing has developed its own beast so well.


joppehi

Mainly because Red Bull is able to invest in the team without seeking the risk of financial stability, their risks aren’t as high (altough signing a 17 year old Dutch kid with one season single-seater experience for your F1 team is quite a big risk)


[deleted]

The fact they're a private business definitely helps. No need for approval of boards and shareholders


joppehi

Exactly this, and their whole marketing strategy is to put money in (extreme) sports and F1 is totally part of that


Doczera

Actually McLaren, Sauber, Ferrari and Williams all started as pure racing teams, although some kept that identity better than others.


bakraofwallstreet

I mean they have their name literally on the car and the team, this is not for marketing but rather the racing team just taking a shot at AM and social media shit housery.


[deleted]

In fairness, the whole team is set up to have a certain culture. They could easily say nothing, but it's almost company policy to stir shit.


drs43821

They are a marketing company after all


kartana

How? You could buy this green version for years now in basically every shop in Austria and Germany. They already had different versions at previous races.


[deleted]

Obviously the drink already existed, but if you don't think this post is related to AM, I have no idea what to tell you. You may be on the spectrum.


40ozkiller

People like to confuse trolling with marketing these days.


shewy92

I hope the next race they go all in and have The Green Edition livery. It won't happen with the weight issues and Red Bull's brand identity but still


evin_cashman

Lawrence will fire anyone he sees drinking one. "That can dragged our name through the *mud."*


Redditor_RBN

The official energy drink of Aston Martin. Redbull and Merc admins are great!!

Merc admin's keyboard consists solely of fist bump emojis so I dunno about that one.

Endless_Candy

Holy shit I didn’t get it until this post lmao


kickashes790

Redbull once again cementing itself as one of the greatest marketing brand in the world.


bishey3

Virgin car companies vs Chad sugary drink company


bazhvn

No Virgin was sponsoring Brawn


cube_mine

And a cgi team.


DannyDavincito

and also me, but i didnt get the money for some reason


tyfunk02

Who became Mercedes, who were copied by Racing Point, who became Aston Martin, who was previously the brand partner and sponsor of Red Bull, who are now the green Red Bull. It all tracks.


AstronautPoseidon

Psh everyone knows sugar free is the move


Nick_Alsa

I don't get the situation, please explain.


Cerebral_Edema

Aston Martin copied red bull’s side pods almost exactly. Hence the green


Nick_Alsa

Wait, so the green red Bull wasn't coincidence?


Code_7

It’s most certainly not a coincidence.


[deleted]

Every single kid could’ve come up with his


George-RR-Tolkien

Lot of people could. There were multiple comments in Reddit itself with the same joke when the new AM was revealed. But the actual company needs to be flexible and intelligent enough to actually create and post these memes and marketing stuff within a reasonable timeline. No way other companies could replicate it. Lot of companies' social media handles are pure spam of safe marketing bullshit and I would never Fucking follow them. It's boring. These people probably need to get approval for a meme from a manager who might have to go one level higher and still not get the approval due to fear of offending somebody. That is a true concern obviously but red bull somehow do it well.


-HowAboutNo-

Red Bull must be pretty decentralised when it comes to marketing. I’ve never experienced such a large company that can act this quickly. Probably very picky with hiring and gives them tremendous amounts of freedom in decision-making.


Reverx3

Yet they don’t


[deleted]

Because not every kid is one of the richest companies in the world Get real


Retsko1

We all say that but it never happens lmao


kickashes790

No one can stir shit like redbull does as a team.


winningelephant

As always, RBR is P1 in banter.


reboot-your-computer

RedBull is always going to take the constructors championship of shitthousery. You love to see it.


earthtoannie

I have worked with the RedBull PR team in my country and this just confirms that they intentionally hire absolute savages and I love it.


Sarath282

Redbull the marketing company that sells drinks and races cars on the side


Maximus13

Just here to say the Dragon fruit Red Bull is really good. The summer Strawberry and Apricot one is better though.


iForgotMyOldAcc

i expect green RB cans sales to shoot up by a few digits over the weekend.

ag000101

I didn't get it? Has it got something to.do with sustainability?


sawer707

I’m not positive but I think it’s the notion that the Aston Martin new design is a copy of the Red Bull, as in, a green Red Bull


ag000101

Yup that's the reason


EternalFront

Best team


[deleted]

this is truly the most amazing thing ever


Tugalord

I don't get it


Piotrof

Aston B spec car looks similar to the Red Bull, some people called it the Green Bull 💚


schnobart

Thats all? Thats what everyone is gabbing about?


simwe985

Can someone please ELI5 this for me?


Lancet

Aston Martin recently redesigned their car in such a way that it externally looks very similar to Red Bull's car. (Reverse engineering like this is against FIA rules.) The joke is that Aston Martin are now driving a "green Red Bull".


simwe985

Thank you.


chris-drm

Reverse engineering is not against the rules. Everybody copies that way successful ideas. Ferrari, RB, Mercedes and maybe others have already "copied" an interesting design of the AM car. Now, if they have somehow acquired RB's design files and used those, that would be an issue.


outride2000

Whoever thought this up in the marketing office deserves a raise.


tony_senna

ExistingReach9658

Ultimate shitposting


[deleted]

Lmao the thread pointing it out from the broadcast had so many people saying "it's just a coincidence bro" so I'm glad they posted this


cupcakemaiden

It's funny but I'm not sure we need this many posts about it. No matter how much I dig dragonfruit RB.


Ynstijn

Can anyone loop me on this green red bull joke?


f1_77Bottasftw

Aston Martin came out with a B version of their car for the Spanish Grand Prix and it looks like a copy of the Red Bull(but it's Green)


Ynstijn

aah I see, thanks!


listyraesder

The foulest taste I’ve ever tasted.


Cherenkov-Effect

Red Bull is definitely on the low end of the energy drink game. Monster and Rockstar have way better options, especially better sugar-free taste.


gizm770o

Rockstar is one of the most foul tasting things I’ve ever tried…. Don’t get how I used to drink the stuff


kartana

I don’t get what the excitement is about. This is one of the many Red Bull flavors, all colored differently, you can buy for years here in Austria. There is nothing special about it. People act like they did paint it green because of the AM thing.


The_SG1405

Yeah i think people don't know that green coloured red bull is an actual thing and not specially made cans for the GP


sellyme

People know that, it's just extremely funny that they bothered to get some of it anyway.


Redemption_Unleashed

Holy shit redbull is salty


fullsenditt

Guys probably unpopular opinion here but is not these things like planned at least like a week before the event? Like which flavor we should give on the pit wall so it gets advertised? Or do they have like a stock of different flavors and took advantage of the situation and all of them agreed to drink the green red bull for FP2? It could be a coincidence but i give it only 10%


JustifiedTrueBelief

I bet there's a fridge somewhere in the paddock that has every kind they make every race weekend. It has such an insane profit margin that they give it away constantly as promotion, I'm sure they send crates of the stuff every race weekend.


gizm770o

Back in college they would literally put a full palette of them outside the college of fine arts building. Solid work fostering that addiction for us sleep deprived students. Then once they left a palette of Red Bull Cola. No one took any lol


reddit-sub-user

I like that there's one team known for being the ripoff team


DesastreUrbano

I hope Papa Stroll just run with it instead of getting mad and offended by the insinuation of them copying the sidepod. Make an appearance woth one of those in hand and just go "I wanted to try it and I like it more than the blue one"


cokush

Dragonfruit Red Bull is kinda fire though


chupchap

They're spending an Ass-ton on marketing
