    Already happened, but the guy was sober. That’s why they stopped the wing ads, at least in Europe.

        Nope, I shouldn’t comment before my morning coffee. Because I just checked this and it was a class action lawsuit in New York:

        “The defendant’s prodigious advertising marketing and promotional spending has been used to mislead customers into believing that Red Bull is a superior product worthy of a premium price and has the ability to ‘give you wings’ and provide energy and vitality,”

        Red Bull settled at a max. USD 13 million payout.

        One thing is for sure, I haven’t seen the cartoon ads ever since in Europe, but I recount my claim and don’t make conclusions from my personal experience.
