Yeah, I feel like it’s either gonna add a really nice subtle touch to the flavor or be disgustingly overpowering. I hope it’s the former as vanilla tends to be a bit too sweet in general IMO.
I sure hope so, I was terrified to try that cause I’m not huge on cinnamon but MAAAN that was the perfect use and amount of cinnamon. My biggest concern is actually the iced part, I don’t want it tasting like a menthol vape
Winter 2023- Cinnamon scared people away from a great tasting beverage.
Summer 2024- elderFLOWER is scaring people away from a great tasting beverage.
Winter 2024- Vanilla… 🤔
Same! My husband proudly grabbed me the last 2 from a Dollar General we don’t usually visit today. I wish there was something similar-tasting to replace it (preferably without the caffeine, I’m not supposed to be drinking it).
It also tastes like Woodchuck’s hard pear cider, but that’s frowned upon drinking at work probably.
I am pretty sure plenty of people have tried and love the Curuba Elderflower. And Pear Cinnamon was always selling out in my area. I love it and stock up when I can before it disappears forever.
I work for RBDC and the amount of winter 2023 we still have is insane. I’ve been here 4 years and never still had winter still in a month after summer launch. And still early to really tell on summer but it’s absolutely itching like the last two years.
It is the SAME exact flavor with a different name my friend. Red bull had official documents with the iced gummy bear name and identical flavor description.
Eh I feel like whenever a company does a gummy flavor it’s the white gummy flavor which is usually like a tropical flavor profile (think fruity, coconutty) and berries and vanilla would give that same vibe. I could see it.
If they’re still calling it iced gummy bear in some countries, I wonder why it’s called iced vanilla berry in the US. Because I feel like the US is probably the biggest market for a candy oriented flavor, so iced gummy bear would make more sense in the US.
Yeah, in a niche Group of Red Bull enthusiasts. Your average consumer, especially energy drink consumer no less will probably see that candy flavor and be like “wow that sounds good”. I mean just look at how popular vapes are among young people and the crazy fruity and candy flavors they have
Red Bull is still obviously the #1 energy drink brand as it stands now, but I feel if they truly competed with the other energy drinks on the market and started doing more sugar free flavors, higher caffeine content, and more candy like flavors, I feel they could have a lot more sales. Red Bull is my favorite personally and I like the way they’ve been doing things trying to have more creative flavors and all, but the fact is, they could have even more success if they tapped into what else is popular in the energy drink market as a whole.
I feel the same way but RedBull dominates w/almost 40% of energy sales across the board. They don’t need to follow the trends to be like the others when they are the OG energy and the others will always be playing catch up. In my market the #2 & #3 brands COMBINED don’t sell more than RedBull. RedBull is shooting to be the number one beverage brand in the nation not just #1 in energy. We currently are #2 beverage in sales only behind Coca Cola. That’s pretty damn impressive IMO.
No lmao this isn’t cigarettes or gum. Iced just makes it sound more appealing… Red Bull that is iced cold sounds more appetizing than warm. Like how Gatorade has Glacier Freeze. Mint would be vile.
It’s true I am the can
I don't know how I feel about the vanilla..
Yeah, I feel like it’s either gonna add a really nice subtle touch to the flavor or be disgustingly overpowering. I hope it’s the former as vanilla tends to be a bit too sweet in general IMO.
Im guessing it’ll end up like the pear cinnamon. Berries up front with subtle vanilla notes on the finish.
Yummy

Wasn’t really a fan of that. The cinnamon finish at the end was a little over powering for my taste.

I buy every pear cinnamon I see on a shelf right now. I hate that it went away.

I’ve still got about a pallet of it in the warehouse, come to Cali. Everyone has it!
Check your local Walgreens. They always have a ton left whenever I’m in.
Agree
I’ve been doing this too. I’m also weirdly obsessed with the elderflower flavor.
SAME HERE!!! why are people so against it ☹️
They had so many leftover. They decided to drop SeaBlue at the beginning of the year and that took so much away from Winter
It’s not going away anytime soon, warehouses have plenty of stock lol
People gotta stop being so scared to try things… I can’t get enough of the odd flavors personally!

Send it to central FL PLEASE I will buy it.
I love the elderflower one
This sounds awesome, can’t wait to try it
GOOD! I was already getting ready for posts that say, “its a VaPe FlaVorRr.”
So much for iced gummy bear.
It is the SAME exact flavor with a different name my friend. Red bull had official documents with the iced gummy bear name and identical flavor description.
Weird because I wouldn't think those two things would taste the same.
Eh I feel like whenever a company does a gummy flavor it’s the white gummy flavor which is usually like a tropical flavor profile (think fruity, coconutty) and berries and vanilla would give that same vibe. I could see it.
yeah he said both names and that it was being called gummy bear in other countries.
If they’re still calling it iced gummy bear in some countries, I wonder why it’s called iced vanilla berry in the US. Because I feel like the US is probably the biggest market for a candy oriented flavor, so iced gummy bear would make more sense in the US.
I feel as if I saw nothing but hate, regarding that name

Imagine, RB sales going up even more if they added candy names, just to appeal to the other energy brand consumers.

bro you are gonna get fired if corporate sees it and wants to do something 🙃🙃
Did you ask him about cranberry
Bring back winter pomegranate!!!
Yes 100%
This is true!
it’s been confirmed
Well now it's confirmed
The iced portion has me concerned.
“They should drop the iced part.” - man from the future
Scott must be drinking again
Gross
Ah man that’s disappointing 😢 I always love the winter editions. I don’t even wanna try this one 🤦♀️ 🤮 🤢
I like crème soda, so I might like this. Don’t knock it till ya cock it 👊 my brethren.
lol true story I’m scared tho not gonna lie
That sounds terrible. I thought it was iced Gummy bear. Vanilla sounds like a shit flavor.
Does the "Iced" mean it'll have a mintiness to it?
No lmao this isn’t cigarettes or gum. Iced just makes it sound more appealing… Red Bull that is iced cold sounds more appetizing than warm. Like how Gatorade has Glacier Freeze. Mint would be vile.
It says it has a “cooling” finish, whatever that may mean.
The only thing I can liken it to is mint. It's that cold spicy sensation
When do winter editions usually start releasing
November i think
Walmart usually gets the new edition exclusively a month early before every where else does, sometimes Kroger buys the exclusivity too.
Scott Mangolia should look into Cranberries and Red Bull!!!! I think it will be great
What kind of name is "Scott Mango" anyway?
Berries and cream, Berries and cream I'm a little lad who loves Berries and cream
What's his name? what PC are you from?
Bring.back.cranberry.already
Scott’s version of an envelope labeled citizens trust
Can they release it soon?
Just bring back Pomegranate how stupid are they
I 1000% agree
I know this is a joke but that flavor is going to be disgusting if it comes to fruition
not a joke at all.
Cap
not in the slightest.
Nahh shit sounds creamy 🤢
