Today, my youngest son thought that RedBull actually gave him wings. What it actually gave him was a trip to the ER and 7 stitches. It also gave me a meeting with social services. FML
Holy crap, this is the be the biggest bunch of self righteous people jumping to conclusions I've ever seen in one place. You have no clue where he got the Red Bull from, NOR do you have any idea how young the son was. So anyone complaining about the guy "giving" a "little kid" a Red Bull, are you psychic or something? Were you there? No you weren't, so stop pulling details out of your rear end.
Ummm ydi for giving your kid redbull..isn't there like an age limit on that shit anyways? be a better parent and maybe your child won't be taken away!:D
you actually can't sue them though because at the end of the commercials they have that guy that talks real fast sayin that it doesn't give you wings. Forgot what thats called but it would be sweet to sue redbull
There's no age limit, at least not where I'm from. It's not alcoholic, nor does it contain any illegal substance. The only thing it contains is caffeine and sugar really, and they're not illegal.
@i_t_s_m_e - There's age limits on all sorts of things. You also have to be able to prove you are 18 to buy a set of plastic cutlry and prove you're over 16 to buy chocolate liquors. I mean, normal cultry I can understand, and who would even attempt to get drunk off the chocolates? I mean, I can understand not selling them to little kids, but anyone older than thirteen would be fine.
An age limit on Red Bull would be because of all the chemicals in it, and that it's very unhealthy. It would also be no older than 16. I think making it illegal to sell it to people under a certain age is still in debate.
Some shops in the UK refuse to sell anything like Red Bull to anyone under 18, I was ID'd for it on the way into university one day, which was all bewildering after no sleep the night before, stupid meds.
if red bull had cocaine in it, it wouldn't be legal to buy in America these days, at least not without I.D. but OP deserves it for raising such a stupid child.
See post 63 (pendatik) with regards to how much cocain was actually in the red bull in question, and the rest of that conv thread. It'd probably still be legal with that amount in.
Well there is one you can drink that ins all crap and its actually good for you Frs it has only a half a cup of coffee of caffeine in each can the rest is stuff your body naturally uses for energy and it comes with no crash.
There is an eighteen or older cap on ALL energy drinks where I live because there was a rash of elementary school kids who had major health problems because their hearts couldn't take the amount of caffeine, and the other stuff. Five hour energy was the first one to get capped, then redbull, then monster, then they just spread the rules to cover all energy drinks.
I wouldn't take any special precautions to keep a 7 year old from Red Bull. I have plenty of things in my pantry that my kids can't have but that are within easy reach. At that age kids should understand what is not allowed and, short of locking things up, not much is out of their reach. If the kid in question is any younger, maybe it could've been placed on a higher shelf or something.
Thankfully my kids have never seen a Red Bull commercial since they don't generally advertise during children's shows. BTW, the kid got the Red Bull, drank it, and pulled his stunt all without you noticing? Granted you can't watch your kids every minute but that had to take several. Either childproof your house, watch your kids, or both.
So... I think I've come to the conclusion that OP needs to learn to watch his kids, and that OP's kid very well might be a moron if he's old enough to understand.
you all realise this little kid could have just went and grabbed it from the fridge and pulled this stunt while dad was on the shitter or something? god people judge to fucking quick
Did I say that the OP had given his son the Red Bull? No, I did not. I only asked how old the kid was and why he had Red Bull. Also, you're the pot calling the kettle black. Read before you rage, xxGuitarRemixx.
I think their rage was directed at the how did they have time to do it, more then the how did they get it. In any case the kid could be like eight or something for all we know which explains both why he had time to do it (because let us face it at that age kids get quite a bit of alone time because they are at the age to need it or want it.), and how they could have easily grabbed it on their own from a fridge, pantry, or even gotten it from a friend.
