Can I sell cans of Redbull for $20 and give "Vineger" for free as a bonus sampler?

The go-to location for major protests is the Taksim Square, which is four miles from the bridge by foot. The protests need to be really widespread and populous to spread to the bridge. I don't remember that happening in my recent memory (
