Krating Daeng
Krating Daeng (pronunciation: /krɑːtɪŋ dɛŋ/; etymology: Thai for "Red Bull") is a sweetened, non-carbonated energy drink developed by Chaleo Yoovidhya. The drink is most often associated with its role as the inspiration for the globally popular Red Bull energy drink.
History
Chaleo Yoovidhya developed Krating Daeng in Thailand in 1976. The drink was initially targeted at blue-collar workers, with the aim of increasing their endurance and concentration during long work hours. In 1987, Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz co-founded Red Bull GmbH and modified the formula to suit Western tastes, leading to the creation of Red Bull.
Ingredients
Krating Daeng contains water, sucrose, glucose, caffeine, taurine, inositol, and B-vitamins. The combination of these ingredients is believed to provide the energy-boosting effects of the drink.
Health Effects
The high sugar and caffeine content of Krating Daeng has led to health concerns. Excessive consumption can lead to caffeine overdose, diabetes, and other health issues.
