I never take red bull, too much caffeine.
I take coke whenever it is offered, but I don't see coke being offered very often.
One year at Timberman, some random person handed me a coke and it was awesome.
Another time at the Cascade Cycling Classic after I lost the main bunch on the final climb waiting for a wheel there was a "rogue" feed handing out cokes. It was about 90 degrees out, so getting the coke on that climb was awesome. A few guys got time penalties, but since I was behind the caravan at that point I got a pass (and I lost enough time with the wheel change anyway).
