Ok in all seriousness, I don't care how stupid of a question this is....

Is there Red Bull sold in Korea?

Stupid question or not, I dont' drink coffee and this is my daily fix, and I absolutely love the stuff....

Nope...not here. Don't waste your time looking for it.

I'm speaking south of Seoul though. But if I knew there was some here..I would make the trip anywhere.

That's really too bad for me... I know it's a dumb thing to ask about, but seriously, I really can't get enough of the stuff....

And now the little weenie cans either, I mean the BIG $4 cans, that's the good stuff right there....

Other than that I'm quite expecting to go native when I get there... maybe the Red Bull car that drives around can come to Korea and just start throwing the stuff out, then once the Koreans get addicted to it we'll be able to find it anywhere Smile

SeenRed Bull (small cans only) in the red door mart in Itaewon and also I think it was in Foreign Mart in Itaewon.

Also down stairs at Naedaemun Markets there is a place that sells heaps of different foreign foods, drinks and alcohol, I think they may have it.

I've seen it in Haddon's Market near Oksu station. 16,000 won for 4 of the "weenie" cans.

I think Bacchus D is kind of equivalent, but I heard it had nicotine in it. That might be an urban legend though. Our boss used to give us free Bacchus D and vitamins during intensives. I don't know Korean, but I'm assuming all the canned drinks around the Bacchus D are also energy drinks, or shifty hangover cure drinks.
