i can't believe its the additives... I almost think it's designed to taste foul to help make it feel like it's 'buzzing' / stop you just drinking it like water.
tho this is far more drinkable than normal red bull... normal red bull is v.sharp.

I think it's because they all have bull testosterone in them

just got a can of the green relentless, seems like only a few hours ago i had the brown can and only a few minutes since i had a redbull this morning 
but this one doesn't taste like red bull - tastes like fruit juice but a bit tangy...

Holy shit man, I'm listening to high contrast *dnb* which doesn't help, but i've got a whole load of cans of redbull and relentless lined up next to me and i've had coffee... I think it's all just suddenly started kicking in in one big lump... Feels like my minds doing like 400 beats per minute (music wise) ... Just trying to write stuff down with a pen but the pen physically won't move fast enough for the speed of the shit coming out of my mind 
AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
this is how i feel in a split second ... just like constant noise in my head.

Several warnings are included on the packaging of Spike Shooter. The label advised that people under the age of 18, the elderly, and pregnant women should not use the product. It also warns against combining the product with any prescription or over-the-counter medicine, other stimulants or fat loss products, or using the product while being treated for any of a list of medical conditions such as psychiatric disease, high blood pressure and asthma. Users are advised to start with just half a can to determine tolerance at first, and to never drink more than one can in a day.
What's the caffeine content in that badboy? 
I think Red Bull is 32mg per 100ml?

The facts:
As a functional food
Taurine is used as a functional food in many energy drinks and energy products (and more recently, in a candy bar).
Energy Drink (not comprehensive list) Taurine concentration Normalized concentration
Full Throttle 1194 mg/16 oz (2 servings) 263.2 mg/100g
Kick
Blue Charge 1000 mg/8 oz (1 servings) 440.9 mg/100g
Monster 2000 mg/16 oz (2 servings) 440.9 mg/100g
NOS 1000 mg/8 oz (1 serving) 440.9 mg/100g
Red Bull 1000 mg/8.3 oz (1 serving) 440.9 mg/100g
Relentless 2000 mg/16 oz (2 servings) 440.9 mg/100g
Rip It 1000 mg/8 oz (2 serving) 440.9 mg/100g
Rockstar 2000 mg/16 oz (2 servings) 440.9 mg/100g
SoBe 2000 mg/16 oz (2 servings) 440.9 mg/100g
V 420 mg/8 oz 200.6 mg/100g
Vitamin Water Power C Dragon Fruit Flavor 62.5 mg/20 fl oz (2.5 servings)
Von Dutch 1.6 mg/100g (1/5 of a can) 2000 mg/16 oz (2 servings) 440.9 mg/100g
Jolt_Cola 2800 mg/23.5 oz 420.3 mg/100g
Despite being present in many energy drinks, it has not been proven to be energy-giving. A study of mice hereditarily unable to transport taurine suggests that it is needed for proper maintenance and functioning of skeletal muscles.
Caffeine
Product Serving size Caffeine per serving (mg) Caffeine per litre (mg)
Caffeine tablet (regular strength) 1 tablet 100 —
Caffeine tablet (extra strength) 1 tablet 200 —
Excedrin tablet 1 tablet 65 —
Chocolate, Dark (Hershey's Special Dark) 1 bar (43 g; 1.5 oz) 31 —
Chocolate, Milk (Hershey Bar) 1 bar (43 g; 1.5 oz) 10 —
Coffee, brewed 207 mL (7 U.S. fl oz) 80-135 386-652
Coffee, drip 207 mL (7 U.S. fl oz) 115-175 555-845
Coffee, decaffeinated 207 mL (7 U.S. fl oz) 5 24
Coffee, espresso 44-60 mL (1.5-2 U.S. fl oz) 100 1691-2254
Tea, leaf or bag 177 mL (6 U.S. fl oz) 50 281
Tea, green 177 mL (6 U.S. fl oz) 30 169
Soft drink, Coca-Cola Classic 355 mL (12 U.S. fl oz) 34 96
Soft drink, Mountain Dew 355 mL (12 U.S. fl oz) 54.5 154
Soft drink, Jolt Cola 694 mL (23.5 U.S. fl oz) 150 216
Red Bull 250 mL (8.2 U.S. fl oz) 80 320
Wired X344 473 mL (16 U.S. fl oz) 344 727
Buckfast Tonic Wine 750 mL (25.4 U.S. fl oz) 281 375
So in other words, Wired is the best energy drink but Espresso contains the most caffeine. and Nothing has more taurine than 440.0mg, so red bull and it's rivals are indentical.
