Hello everyone!

This is the Ninth TRUE OR FALSE and this time i want to talk about:

Red bull had to pay over 10 million US Dollar because it didn't give the people who drank it wings as promised.

This one might suprise you but this is actually true.
It is hard to believe that anyone who saw the red bull commercial would actually believe the drink would give you wings.
Benjamin careather, a man who regularly drank the red bull drink, sued the company for lying in the commercials (wich is false advertising).
He complained about him drinking red bull on a regular basis and he still did not have either wings nor had he experienced a positive change is athletic or intellectual boosts.

Red bull fearing a time consuming, expensive and a time consuming trial or lawsuit, settled for 13 Million US Dollars, half of wich was then put into a fun, linked to a website when consumers can get their money back (with a maximum of 10 dollar for each consumer).
