Photo: the power of Red Bull compels you!

We were heading home after lunch at Casa Navarro today when we saw a giant can of Red Bull on a car. I thought I was imagining things, but no, it was real.

They've been around Boston quite a bit actually. Nothing new here.

But it would be cool if that did open the lid and shot out a projectile of some sort.

I'm sure they've been around here awhile, I just hadn't seen one before. (One of the Google hits I got mentioned that Kelly Clarkson was working as a Red Bull promoter when she tried out for American Idol in 2002.)

A giant Red Bull cannon would be awesome!

A long while back The Stranger had an article about people who get their cars wrapped in promotional material to defray the cost of their loans. Apparently some staggeringly high percentage try to back out of the deal after they realize that driving around in an advertisement is a great way to make oneself a social pariah. I'm sort of glad that it hasn't become a trend, since I could see driving advertisements eventually becoming as acceptable as wearing them.

Oh, that's interesting... I didn't notice that there was no license plate on that... what is that? Truck? Car... eh, I guess I'll just call it a car.

It has Texas plates; I just obscured the license plate out of habit. d:

A little Googling identified it as a Red Bull promotional vehicle, though the Minis I saw were definitely cuter than the car we saw!
