Caffeinated drinks giant – Red Bull -Have been sued for falsely claiming their product “gives you wings” and have agreed to pay out $10 to every American customer who bought the drink since 2002

Benjamin Careathers, a regular consumer of the energy drink, sued the company for false advertising, arguing that after 10 years drinking Red Bull he neither had wings nor any enhanced athletic or intellectual performance.
