Where did Red Bull exist in 92'?

Dang...wikipedia says it came out in 87'. I can't recall energy drinks before ~2003.

In all honesty I got at least two details wrong, I now realise; it was 1995, and Pro-Plus caffeine tablets.

I remember Jolt Cola [0] which was a super-caffienated cola drink, which I drank in the late 80s/early 90s when it was available in the UK (at least I found it in Edinburgh and Glasgow) from a few select delis that did US imports. Apparently a hacker staple in the USA, which is why we searched for it here...

I remember being surprised when I first regularly visited in 99 that red bull wasn’t well known in the US; it was readily available in the UK at that time.

Coca-Cola was the original energy drink, with cocaine, caffeine, theobromine, and sugar. It lost cocaine in 1915, though.
