I love your product. I enjoy it every time I'm out on a hike or in training or whatever.
I really hate though, punctured cans. Your little 8oz cans are a perfect dose of caffeinated goodness straight to the tickly parts, but I can't count how many cans I've had punctured on hikes, ending up bleeding out onto ammo, tools or other snacktical. So, I have a suggestion for you: You know those neat little Gu packets? The electrolytic carbohydramatic jelly pouches? Do something like that with your signature beverage, just start putting it in neat little mylar envelopes instead of cans. I'll pay extra. Especially if I no longer have any busted up, punctured cans and no more sticky web gear. Thanks! An Arfcommer. |
Haha, so what you're really saying, there is a market for Red Bull carriers with kevlar inserts to prevent 'accidents'. Preferably in Multicam 
ETA: a 40mm Grenade pouch with the plastic insert would work except the nose of the insert is shaped to the curve on the 40mm round. Should be easy to fix that by just cuting off the curved part. |

redbull is ok for a quick pick me up if Im around the office, but that stuff make me have to piss ever 5 minutes... a 6 hour power and a cup of coffee is just as good for me and I dont have to piss as often. you could just do Meth like the pieces of shit I have to work with

Preferably in Multicam .I wanted to get into making tactical gear anyway and have been noodling around with some irregular design ideas and this, my friend, is a goddamned goldmine idea. I need to get some kydex and I will totally make some MOLLE-backed Red Bull carriers in Multicam. You're my hero. Give me a week or so to figure out the design and get the parts together and I'll send you a proto for being such an inspiration. |

I've never seen a carbonated beverage in those mylar pouches, usually crap like fruit juice and koolaid type crap (capri sun). I'm not sure they could hold up to the carbonation pressure without blowing out the straw hole, or if they could, you'd need a titanium straw to puncture it. |

Rip its........................      I have never seen a Rip it out side of Iraq.... and I doubt the op is hiking is Afghanistan. They got a drink called "pit bull" over here now that they have in the chow hall. I still buy cases of Wild Tigers from the bazaar though. There is no energy drink more powerful or more dangerous than a Wild Tiger. Drink one real fast and you can feel your kidneys die... |

Wild Tiger is delicious, not to mention cheap as hell. |

I only ever see the tall boy cans of Rip Its, they're all over the place at Dollar Tree. Not half bad for a buck and they don't have that chemical mouthfeel of a Coke or Pepsi.
And to the poster who mentioned Capri Sun pouches. I was thinking more like Gu pouches. Dig: |
