Red Bull is one of the most popular energy drinks in the world, and it is even more popularly known for its catchy tagline, Red Bull Gives You Wings. And that's what we'll be talking about today, the president. And welcome to today's episode of Let's Do Shots.

Red Bull gives you wings a sound so perfect, an app for an energy drink, doesn't it? And it has a very high recall value as well. The words just flow out of your mouth but doesn't really give you wings. Turns out or doesn't. And the fact that it does not gives you wings, as promised, really disappointed a certain individual in the US. And they decided to sue Red Bull for false advertising. Yes, someone sold Red Bull because they came across their advertising and were like, wow, I want wings, let me have some Red Bull.

I mean, what if we start taking everything that say literally, imagine what would happen to Maggie? Have you ever prepared your Maggie noodles in two minutes? Or imagine a situation where someone tries walking on water while wearing Adidas knickers because they claim impossible is nothing?

Could you sue Adidas because their shoes did not enable you to do something which is truly impossible? What if I did not feel like I was loving it, like eating a McDonald's burger? What if you think that this is a podcast where you literally get to do shots every time I say let's do shots. What if your life does not become Jalala after setting up a Tata Sky connection?
