Der Gast hat uns gezwungen. Wir hatten keine Wahl, ich schwöre es! Zur Erinnerung, das sind unsere normalen Wiener Schnitzel https://www.reddit.com/r/SchnitzelVerbrechen/s/djTmr7wSMi
My coworker, not the brightest tool in the box, just nearly stabbed me. She always walks through the kitchen with the knife pointing in the direction she's walking towards like a maniac and I keep telling her to point it down.
Earlier today, I was walking behind her back, all of a sudden she turned around and poked the chef knife in my stomach. Luckily it was a japanese style knife without a pointy end, otherwise my shift would've ended earlier today
PepsiCo finally gave in: they brought back the original formulation of the original flavor which they previously bastardized. It used to have 13 g of sugar per 100 ml originally. Then they decreased it to 4 g in exchange for artificial sweeteners. Now it's back to 13 grams. Unfortunately though, they apparently DISCONTINUED Mango Orange Passionfruit silently, which was one of the last remaining classic flavors that has been around for nearly two decades. Giving us the original formulation of th OG flavor back is at least a step in the right direction. NOW GIVE US BACK ALL THE AMAZING FLAVORS YOU TOOK FROM US OR THE ONES YOU BASTARDIZED AS WELL!!
But FUCKING PEPSICO FUCKED IT UP AGAIN by only releasing zero sugar versions. All they've been releasing for the last two and a half years were sugarfree drinks that all taste horrible. And they keep changing formulas of their existing lineup and reduce sugars. Rockstar in Europe has become so disgusting ever since fucking Pepsico took over. Fuck them. Red Bull is the better energy drink. Yes I said it!!
In case you've ever wondered what the OG Red Bull tastes like, these are the aroma molecules that make up this flavor profile. A couple weeks ago I shared my Red Bull clone syrup recipe that tastes just like the original, you can add any preformulated flavor in order to create your very own Red Bull Editions.
In the meantime, Labcoatz, the chemist/youtuber who already cracked the Coke recipe, has been working on breaking down the Red Bull formula as well. He ran some GCMS analyses and found out the exact chemical composition. He was nice enough to share the most important ingredients with me, so I tried to replicate that famous flavor profile myself and so far I am very very very close! Close enough that my own Red Bull tastes more like the real Red Bull than any other storebought Red Bull clone I've ever tried. Here's my formula (work still in progress, still tweaking the ratios):
Recipe 10 milliliters of Red Bull flavor:
8 g propylene glycol
1 g ethyl butyrate
0.1 g ethyl isovalerate
0.5 g ethyl maltol (15%)
0.5 g methyl cinnamate (10%)
0.3 g vanillin (10%)
0.6 g α-ionone (1%)
0.1 g β-ionone (1%)
There's also some isoamyl acetate in the original (that's that "banana" flavor most of you guys know from Cherry Sakura) but I haven't received mine yet. I'll update this post once I played around with it
Dosage: 4 drops of this flavor (0.08 g) per 250 ml or 0.32 g per liter
All I know is why Germany is (afaik) the only country with blue pull tabs.
We used to have neutral tabs too, but in the early 2000s when Germany introduced the "Einwegpfand" (deposit) we didn't have the "DPG Pfandlogo" (deposit logos) yet so they used blue tabs and printed a notice on the side of the can that said that you can only get your deposit back if you return the can with the blue tab attached.
But I don't know much else about this, we have two differently shaped tabs and I haven't been able to figure out any reason.
The OG flavor, the permanent editions and the seasonal editions all come with both types of tabs, I have cans of the same flavors in my collection but they all might have different tabs. When I buy the singles of the original flavor I get both types of tabs (depending on the batch on the shelf), when I buy 6 packs or 12 packs it's also always different, one 6 pack might have tab A, another 6 pack from a different store might have tab B. I just can't figure it out. It's probably just random, but does anyone know more about this?
