On November 3, 2025, Red Bull came out with a new flavor: Fuji Apple & Ginger. The new can design is very unique, displaying a red-yellow ombre with the typical metallic grey bulls charging at each other. Many students at Palisade High School drink energy drinks every day, making an occurrence where not one student does not have an energy drink very unlikely. The drink has already been tried amongst many of the students, and opinions widely differ. Sophomore Aleeya Link stated she tried the drink, “I think last Monday,” (November 3rd). Immediately, many students were curious about the drink, and she even had some classmates ask her about the drink in her classes. “It’s pretty much apple cider with a hint of a little bit too much vinegar,” Link states, describing the flavor. Many students since then have tried the drink, curious of the flavor. Sophomore Kilee Hean states, “It tastes like apple juice.”
While Hean states her favorite flavor is coconut, Link states her favorite flavor is blueberry. Both students prefer more of a sweet, fruity flavor. When asked about what flavor she thought should have been released instead, Hean said fruit punch. However, when Link was asked the same question, she said, “I think … if they would have expanded more on the apple side of it instead of the ginger, that would have been so much better.” About 50% of teenagers 12-17 drink energy drinks (according to cdc.gov). Taking into consideration the opinion of an age group is likely to help Red Bull greatly and cause them to profit, as well as their customers to be happy. For example, the opinions of Hean and Link, both were able to think of something better than Fuji Apple and Ginger, or an alteration, that they would prefer more. What do you think a new flavor should be?
