A lot of things that the government sees as 'bad' for you are restricted in advertising..beer and alcohol companies and cigarette companies as well have restrictions..I think this just falls in under that..Red Bull was banned in Denmark for ages due to a ban on a drug that nobody really knew the effect of but RB was filled with it Very Happy

Its not about the product it self. Its about whats in it. Yes red bull was banned(but everyone could get it anyway). They(red bull) had to change the ingredients, just to be able to sell it here. As far as I remember.

IMO its a fine ban, and I really like red bull! Well kinda off, we have like 10 other products, CLAIMING to have the same effect, in every store.

USA note... Remember, our teens start drinking around 13-14 of age, maybe even younger. Our culture are quite different Smile Our kids mature a lot faster than elsewhere!

Are you sure he's talking about American kids?
I understood it as he meant Scandinavian kids, but that could have just been me. o.O

Dunno maybe Photish can tell when he visits NFO again meanwhile I like to state that there is quite a difference between bodily mature and mentally mature.

Denmark is also the only country in the world with trans fat restrictions.
Red bull became legal in Norway and (think also Finland) last year. But fuck it, I prefer Battery

But drinking vodka at 16 is no problem. And color climax made commercial kiddie pr0n in the 60s and 70s. Only in Denmark :/

Mmm nope, I think it's been in Finland for ages now without any interruptions inbetween (not that I have particularly paid attention, so you might be right too). Youngsters have taken such a liking to energy drinks tho that some stores now only sell them to adults. Laughing

Some stores in Sweden won't sell energy drinks to kids under the age of 14 or 15, says that all that sugar and caffeine makes the students all batshit loco during class. But AFAIK it's not illegal to buy/sell it to kids at that age.

Uh, we have stores that don't sell to people under 18... it's really that silly.
