    Grocery Shrink Ray Squeezes Energy Out Of Red Bull

    Looks like the power of taurine, caffeine and glucuronolactone is no match for the Grocery Shrink Ray. Alert reader Denis sent us this side-by-side comparison of the new "large" Red Bull (left) and the old one. Original: 16.9 ounces. New, taller, thinner version: 16 ounces. We're not sure when the Bull's wings flew off with the remaining 0.9 ounces, but we already miss them. When it comes to caffeine (and glucuronolactone, of course), that bit can just make the difference between crashing on the couch, or sprinting into the office (or at least that's our excuse, and we're sticking with it).

    Target's Red Bull Pricing Scheme Rewards People Who Pay Attention

    I typically prefer to make jokes at Wal-Mart's expense. Target, however, is forcing me to make a joke with Target as the punchline. Every time I go into the store, I have to stand and gawk at the point of purchase Red Bull display. A 4-pack is $5.89 and the 12-pack is $19.99. Seems to me that you could just get three 4-packs for $17.67 and save yourself a cool two dollars. Also, this is Target's standard pricing for these items as I check every time I go in Target to see if they have wised up. Also, it saddens me to say that I have seen customers purchase the 12-packs. So maybe Target has it figured out after all?
