I've seen them a few times, but mostly at gas stations. I love the states. Can't wait to get back.

Ive never seen a Redbull machine.

And it is close to impossible to get Redbull merchandise compared to monster and rockstar.

I've seen them in Philadelphia a few times. Three different gas stations that I remember just off the top of my head.

This is because Red Bull (and all other energy drinks, for that matter), is objectively inferior to Rock Star. I don't even know why anyone bothers carrying anything else.

redbull also has the capital for merchandising that most other overseas manufacturers would only dream of.

It's the way that red bull is marketing their product that don't have that much wearable merchandise as compared to the other companies.  They've tied their brand to sports a (Flug Tag/Snowboarding).  Alson as one the more established energy drink brands they simply don't need to market as much as the other companies.
