Red Bull is the world’s most popular energy drink. It originated in Thailand and was brought to global attention by an Austrian toothpaste marketer called Dietrich Mateschitz. He was amazed how a Thai pick-me-up drink called Krating Daeng (“Red Bull” in Thai) helped him overcome jetlag on his trips to Thailand. He teamed up with Chaleo Yoovidhya, the maker of the drink and together they unleashed a global brand. It was launched in Hungary in 1992 and entered the U.S. market five years later. Forbes magazine cites both Mateschitz and Yoovidhya as being among the richest people in the world. Their company now sponsors successful Formula One racing teams and other sports. The drink is not without its controversies, one of which is Germany and Taiwan banning it for containing minute traces of cocaine.
