Ever use Red Bull to get a set of wings?
Ever wonder what those wings are made of? Wired did, and wrote an interesting article called What’s Inside.
The gist: Meat Sugar, Caffeine, and Bile!
Though it’s not as disgusting as it sounds, there are some interesting ingredients contained within.
Least surprising result? Caffeine is the main ingredient in wings.
All the things this drink is supposed to do for you — increase concentration and reaction speed, improve emotional state, and boost metabolism — are known effects of this white powder, a distant cousin of cocaine.
