But basically, these Japanese energy drinks or "genki drinks" have been around since like the 60's or something. In the 70's they went to Thailand, where the formula changed slightly for local tastes. It was marketed under the name Krating Daeng, or Red Guar. In the 80's Dietrich Mateschitz was down in Thailand for some other business and got the idea to market it to the rest of the world. And thus, Red Bull was born.

When I was in Japan, I tried some of the energy drinks that pre-date Red Bull and wow were those things bitter. The worse it tasted, though, the more energy you got.
