Where it comes from
Red Bull grew out of Krating Daeng, an energy drink Chaleo Yoovidhya sold in Thailand from 1976, popular with truck drivers. Austrian Dietrich Mateschitz tried it on a business trip in 1982 and found it helped his jet lag, and the two founded Red Bull in 1984. Krating Daeng means red gaur, a wild bull, and the fizzy western version launched in Austria on 1 April 1987.
