The title of the post is clearly referring to the length of this entry, people. It's friday in beautiful Austria and we have one practice and a "game" before the end of training camp. I can't wait to be out of here and start living our real lives in the big city, bright lights. I'm currently bored...it's 4:00 pm and we don't have anything until dinner at 5:30 and practice number two of the day at 8:15. I also took a short trip to the Billa, which is the equivalent of Safeway/Vons in the States. Except much smaller. And with different food products.
Anyways, I was looking to fulfill my CRAVING for some form of high fructose corn syrup, naturally in the soda aisle. I thought about getting a Red Bull...in fact, I thought this out loud. I was then informed that the creator of Red Bull lives in Austria...which makes sense considering the ridiculous price here. When you fools over in the good ol' U.S of A are spending over $3.00 on a Red Bull after tax, we are paying a silly 1,50 euro for that same caffeinated goodness. And a 6 pack of them is less than 6 euro.
But that isn't even the most exciting part of the story. My purchase ended up being a Red Bull COLA. I was stoked, since this drink was even cheaper than the normal Red Bull. When I cracked the top on the can and took the first sip, I was pleasantly greeted with a perfectly created mixture of Coke and Red Bull. Who would have thought? Someone, apparently. Lastly, it's interesting that Red Bull is the sponsor for everything over here. They may even sponsor this blog post if I was to ask. There ya go...took me less that 5 minutes to write. Just wanted to share my new addiction to Red Bull Cola.
*I used "Red Bull" 8 times in this post. 9 if you include the foot note.
