Supplemental context
Red Bull shows how a packaged beverage can become associated with activities far beyond drinking. The Austrian company's profile dates its launch to 1 April 1987 and acknowledges inspiration from East Asian drinks. TCP's company history supplies the Thai business context and Chaleo's role, preventing the Austrian date from erasing that earlier history. The 2012 Stratos project adds a media dimension: YouTube's contemporaneous account records Felix Baumgartner's mission and a large simultaneous online audience. Future readers can use the selection to study sponsorship, branded spectacle and internet broadcasting as part of consumer culture, while keeping the drink, the companies and the engineering project conceptually distinct.
Creator/community: Chaleo Yoovidhya, Dietrich Mateschitz, associated companies and sponsored sports and media teams Place/era: Thai antecedents and Austrian launch in 1987; later international marketing
Context and limits
Company histories are interested sources, and no claim that Red Bull invented all energy drinks is adopted. The Stratos mission is not evidence that drinking the product improves performance. The generic can and helmet illustration is not actual packaging, mission equipment, a safety recommendation or a reenactment.
