Residents of Qatar were scratching their heads recently as Red Bull seemed to have grown its own wings and flown away.
Red Bull responded to concerned consumers, ensuring them that their wings would be returned soon.
However, according to Doha News, Red Bull explained the drink was "out of stock" due to regulation changes regarding the packaging of energy drinks.
The changes went into affect on Sept. 1 and Red Bull hopes to be back on the shelves in less than a month.
One freaking month?!?!
Red Bull and other energy drinks were already required to carry a warning label which said:
"Not allowed for pregnant and nursing women, persons under the age of 16, persons sensitive to caffeine, cardiovascular patients and during heavy sports exercises. Not recommended to consume more than two cans per day.”
It remains unclear what the new packaging restrictions are in Qatar but according to Doha News, other energy drinks remain on the shelves.
The change in regulations follows Sharjah's ban of energy drinks in restaurants and cafes last month.
Last summer Saudi Arabia banned the advertising of energy drinks and limited where they could be sold.
For now we have to wait and see if Red Bull's wings will carry it back to Qatar as promised.
