All fine if they're small enough to stay under the radar. It IS a trademark violation; it's no different from paying for a Blackberry and being handed some Nokia piece of shit with the word "Blackberry" hand-painted on. Or buying an Armani suit and finding out that it's actually just a JNY with the old labels torn off and some Armani labels sewn on.

The media always likes to spin trademark lawsuits against the manufacturing corporations, and no doubt they're all profit-motivated, but trademarks are about consumer protection more than anything else, and it's we who benefit the most.

The fact is, most of those off-brand energy drinks taste Bangladesh bilge water mixed with MSG and lemon peel, and have about half the caffeine of a Red Bull or sometimes none at all. You're getting charged the same price for an inferior product.

Im glad the price of energy drinks in canada have come down in reflection of our higher dollar. At walmart they are selling redbull 4 packs for $7!

alot of people say that they make you mix it yourself but ive bought a "redbull (rockstar) vodka" at guv and the bartender mixed it for me..

ive never seen anyone have to mix one themselves


side note: 1 rockstar vodka costs something like $12, but the bartender said its cheaper if you buy 2 of them, cuz i think they can get two drinks out of the one little can....

Personally, I disagree, but it's not a question of whether or not it's objectively better or worse. Maybe Rockstar is a better drink but maybe I'm just allergic to all the ginseng and "natural" shit they put in it. Or maybe it's better but also cheaper, and I'm getting charged the higher price. Whatever the case may be, I expect to get what I ordered.

When I order a Red Bull, I should get a Red Bull and not a Rockstar. If I order a steak, I expect to get beef and not chicken. Red Bull isn't a generic word for "energy drink" - it's a specific brand name referring to a specific thing, and anyone who sells a different product under the same name is swindling me, even if they genuinely believe that they're giving me something better.

I forget who gave the Coke example earlier, maybe it was you. It's true - "Coke" has become kind of a generic name for any cola-type drink. That's exactly what happens when companies fail to protect their trademarks - they become genericized. It's not just their loss, it's also ours; when you order a coke, you never know whether or not you'll end up getting a Pepsi instead, and even though some people like Pepsi better, the ones who don't are getting screwed.
