small objects LARGE Subject

The product known as Red Bull is essentially used to supply the average person with extra energy throughout their everyday lives. It is supposed to give you that extra edge you need to make it through once your body has given out. The popular slogan is "red bull gives you wings" to symbolize how it suppose to make you feel once you've consumed it.
As human being were easily influenced, I know from personal experience, I have given Red Bull more credit than is really due. The heavy promotion makes one believe that they have more energy than they actually do. I feel it actually takes a lot of energy to consume the product because it is extremely carbonated. Also, by sponsoring many extreme sporting events such as motocross and skateboarding, they can further promote their product by indicating their product will make you extreme and give you these extraordinary capabilities.
 With the high levels of sugar and caffeine in the product, it raises your heartbeat substantially and this is what give you energy. However, the manufacturer knows that the average consumer isn't going to think of the metabolic consequences when consuming this product. As a society of instant gratification, we simply care about re instilling the energy our body has lost as quickly as possible.

  1. This seems written in a mad rush, without much thought to your audience's experience in reading it. (Note how frequently you reference yourself as "I" -- reconsider the you-viewpoint of this post.)

    Try slow walking. That means that you pace the writing in a way that a reader is able to follow your thoughts.

  2. I just thought of something more. You've named this post -- small objects -- the plural, not the singular. Think of one thing, and examine it more closely.
