The recipe is based on Lipovitan of Japan and Bacchus-F of South Korea, earlier energy drinks that were introduced to Thailand. Krating Daeng sales soared across Asia in the 1970s and 1980s, especially among truck drivers, construction workers and farmers. Truck drivers used to drink it to stay awake during the long late night drive. The working class image was boosted by sponsorship of Thai boxing matches, where the logo of two red bulls charging each other was often on display. While often translated as "Red Bull", the Thai name krating actually refers to the bull-like bovine gaur.
The Thai product was transformed into a global brand by Dietrich Mateschitz, an Austrian entrepreneur [2]. Mateschitz was international marketing director for Blendax, a German toothpaste company, when he visited Thailand in 1982 and discovered that Krating Daeng helped to cure his jet lag.[3]. He cooperated with T.C Pharmaceuticals, adapted the formula and composition to western tastes and launched Red Bull in 1987.
dette er hentet fra wikipedia. red bull kommer fra thailand (men den er MYE sterkere der en den "dritten" vi får her i norge). så hvis de har den som heter "lipovitan" så tror jeg det er den samme som de selger i Thailand
