VPX Redline Putting People In Hospital

redlinertd.jpgRedline – the stuff of legends.

A guy drinks two 8-ounce cans of Redline RTD (along with a burrito). Minutes later he collapses, shaking violently (via SacBee).

Energy drink enthusiasts know that Redline is a drink that you don’t mess with. The label on the can suggests only drinking a half can at a time.

At first I thought the burrito-eating guy was foolish – surely he would have had to go to a GNC or similar drugstore where the sales staff would have warned him. But no – he got Redline from a 7-11 ! This stuff is an uber-stimulant. It’s a bodybuilders fat loss tool that is combined with training and nutrition (and I’m not talking about a burrito here).

Caffeine in Redline: Do We Have a Winner?

A few months back we predicted that Redline had about 250mg of caffeine in the can. That was an educated guess. As we read further into the Redline story from Sacramento Bee – we discovered that a toxicologist had managed to get VPX (the folks that make Redline) to spill the beans on Redline caffeine. The magic number? 250mg! Not bad guesswork from the EnergyFiendsters.

Another peculiar thing is that this news article actually quotes EnergyFiend — so watch what you say – you might be quoted in a paper somewhere.
