Alex, when its a brand like red bull, people see the colours and sub-conciously put it with red bull, its a very subtle way of advertising without seeing red bull everywhere. Its like if you see a white background with a red triangle you think marlboro without it saying it. its just clever marketing and of course its cheaper

I can certainly say that you definatley feel very strange afterwards for the next hour or so.

First time I had Relentless I drank an entire can in less than 5 minutes... and then fell asleep in the next lesson. Didn't work so well...!

Didnt Rich Cree work for redbull motorsport a while ago? maybe he has some insight ..

They have/had a secton on their website regarding sponsorship for teams/events, i mailed them a few years ago about Blyth/Worksop R/C events, still waiting for a reply . A slab of 24 to keep race control awake would have done ..

Relentless never seems to work for me either, despite having the same caffeine content as red bull but being 2-3 times as big, it's pretty weird.
