A collection that gets you "high"!
I'm always excited to hear of a new collection, something unique and fun. Most travelers love to pick up souvenirs from the countries they visit. Magnets, silver spoons, and other crafts are frequently found in every tourist trap store. How about grabbing a Red Bull? They're usually available at convenient stores for no more than a few bucks.
The little energy cans are collectible and a great way to remind you of a trip to Costa Rica besides just the passport stamp. Red Bull is currently available in over 130 countries. So there's two huge benefits to a large collection of silver and blue cans: 1) Never falling asleep again at work and 2) Learning to say - gives you wings / vitalizes body and mind - in over a hundred different languages.
Originally Red Bull was only available in small 4.5 ounce cans - in regular and sugar-free versions. The company started producing 6.5 ounce cans a short time later. And, just recently the company unveiled a new can holding 16.9 ounces of liquid cocaine. Each monster Limited Edition Signature Series can features a quote and a facsimile signature of a different sports athlete. Twenty different Red Bull Champions are featured including: Richard "Crazy Legs" Colon (Dance), Ryan Sheckler (Skateboarding), Travis Pastrana (Freestyle Moto), Nicky Hayden (Moto GP), Bruce Irons (Surfing), Kevin Robinson (BMX), Juan Pablo Angel (Soccer), Andy Irons (Surfing), Shaun White (Snowboarding), Tanner Hall (Freestyle Skiing), Brian Vickers (NASCAR), Robby Naish (Windsurfing), Amanda Beard (Swimming), Lindsey Vonn (Skiing), and Josmer "Jozy" Altidore (Soccer).
Values have yet to jump and the limited cans are available on eBay for less than $10. But, years from now these aluminum cans may just be the next Inverted Jenny or T206 Honus Wagner of the collecting world. Stock up on the caffeine and get yours now!
