Yes, folks, there was, and is, this rumor that pops up in social media now and then, but it is a rumor that has its origins in the early 1990s.
Do you recall the early days of energy drinks? The first energy drink that took the world by storm was linked to a bovine male creature, a bull.

He was quick to state that he had never actually added bull semen to his drinks, and I am happy about that fact. Having imbibed quite a few of those energy drinks in the early 2000s when life was a lot simpler, before bills, mortgages, and responsibilities.
