Red Bull For All! (Who Work at D Magazine.)

I would like to announce a “material connection” between D Magazine and Red Bull. The new FTC rules on freebies for bloggers are very strict, and I wish to remain on the right side of the law [cough, cough]. So here’s the deal: moments ago, the Red Bull mini-fridge you see pictured was installed in our kitchen. It joins the ranks of the KitchenAid (toast), the Keurig (coffee), and, my favorite, the Hoshizaki (crushed ice and water). I am told the Red Bull mini-fridge will be stocked with free Red Bull — thereby giving rise to our “material connection.” I myself cannot drink caffeinated beverages, per doctor’s orders. And even if I could, I would not choose to drink Red Bull, on account of I think it tastes like cough syrup (which I have consumed in the past for recreational purposes, if you must know, but only because the brand I had on hand during that particular road trip had codeine in it, which Red Bull does not). Point is, though, someone who works for our company might in the future blog something that casts Red Bull in a favorable light. And I just wanted you to know that that person cannot be trusted. Because he’ll be high on free Red Bull. (I’m looking at you, Zac.)

As I am just up the street from your new offices, do you mind if I stop by now and then for some free Red Bull?

My BFF sells Keurig. Drink up!

That road trip was awesome, and it was Tussionex brand cough syrup. And Jack Daniels brand sour mash. And Shiner beer. Don’t remember the brand name on the pills- I think they were the red ones.

Do you get free soda? Because I would seriously contemplate quitting my job if they took away the free Diet Coke.

you drank cough syrup recreationally…for the codeine? that’s just sad.

War on Red Bull is un-American!

Has anyone else out there in the blogosphere had bad experiences with Red Bull? Last year in class a student of mine passed out with what she mistakenly thought was a heart attack. The cause? A combination of sleeplessness, lack of food, and a lot of Red Bull to keep her awake. The medics came and carted her off; she recovered quickly. Apparently, this incident was not unique. The stuff is dangerous.
