Interestingly, Bacchus-D came out in 1963, predating Red Bull by two decades. Interesting "indications and usage," though:
Fatigue, during and after illnesses, anorexia, dystrophy, febrile consumption disease, nutrition supply during pregnancy and lactancy, energy provision, asthenic diathesis.
Not really sure what that means.

Props to Bacchus for being first, but those other drinks don't taste like bacchus. Bacchus tastes kind of like watered down grape kool-aid with triple the sugar it's supposed to have. Red Bull and most of it's imitators are less sugary and have more of a light citrus tang to them, kind of like margarita flavor without the booze.
And soju tastes like vodka to me, which means I think they're both shit.
I guess the blog poster also neglected to mention that Bacchus-D tastes and looks very similar to Lipovitan-D, which came out in 1962.

It's seems that Lipovitan-D was also the inspiration for red bull.
I thought redbull was based on some Thai natural energy drink. Koreans love to hand out those little drinks in glass bottles, whick take me all of .2 seconds to drink, and then its off to the non'recycle" bin.
Indeed Red Bull is based upon a Thai drink, which you can read about here:
Wikipedia - Krating Daeng
Never had redbull, so I'll pass. Thanks anyways.
Red Bull isn't American. I guess when the article says American it means sold in America.
