What a lackluster story. No mention of Lipovitan, the Japanese drink/medicine that first contained taurine. That drink likely inspired Krating Daeng in Thailand, which in turn led to the creation of Red Bull.
Or any mention of truckers and factory workers which were the original target market, and validated the effectiveness of these drinks over decades - before it became a trend for young people.
- sdfghswe 3y agoBecause none of that matters for the point of this story?
- ricardobeat 3y agoThere is Taurine in energy drinks because it was in the Lipovitan recipe and kept workers awake. It's literally the missing answer to the article's headline.
- sdfghswe 3y agoLipovitan doesn't matter. No one knows about it, no one cares about it, it looks like medicine and it probably tastes like medicine too. Disgusting. Stop holding on to the past, your pet drink is irrelevant.
