This is an interesting one, the world famous energy drink Red Bull comes from a traditional thai recipe. The drink is even today loved by truck drivers and the rural populace in Thailand. It was only until the Austrian founder figured out the drink that was marketed with chic branding around the world that upscale bars in thailand have now started storing the drink, all imported from Austria.

The earlier avataar of the drink bottle would quite look like a cough syrup. I got hold of it so thought i'd share...not only this a new rival is still going great in the country side. sounds to me like after the cola wars we cud seeing bull fighting with the a new savvy chap branding the other.
