Walker draws back the curtain on the pioneering branding campaign that created a mystique around the energy drink Red Bull, which was introduced in the U.S. in 1997. As the corporate saga goes, Red Bull was invented by Dietrich Mateschitz, an Austrian entrepreneur who "supposedly came across a syrupy tonic favored by rickshaw drivers in Thailand, called Krating Daeng."
