Blackmailer threatens to pollute Red Bull energy drink with poop
VIENNA (AP) - Energy drink producer Red Bull says it is being blackmailed, with the perpetrators threatening to place cans of its product contaminated with feces on supermarket shelves.
The company says the threats started several weeks ago. But Marcus Neher of the Salzburg Public Prosecutor's office said Friday that "up to now there has only been a claim of contamination," and the company also says that supermarket checks have shown no signs that the product was tampered with.
The company sells its energy drink worldwide. In a statement, it says it is "cooperating closely" with police but offers no details on the perpetrators' demands.
There was also no information on the location of the stores named by the blackmailers.

Headline suggestion: "more" poop
Would anyone notice the difference?
then rename it to red bullsh....
It's probably the Frank's Red Hot lady.
I hear the same guy threatened to make cigarettes bad for you.....
Hmmmm... that might actually make it taste better.
In my past experience, Red Bull is only good when it has Jagermeister added to it.
Those can hurt you. Lol.
Wait...it isn't already? Or is it supposed to taste that way?
