Nope, its worked for me.

I was at a huge house party, and I didn't even know I was drinking a red bull at the time. I was saying to a few people who were with me, "why do I feel so insanely active right now?" (I was thinking the pop might've been spiked, or I accidently had some bad mix up and recieved some freaked-up beer.) Then I looked down in my cup, asked around, and realized that the drink that was given to me wasn't mountain dew. It was red bull, they had a small keg of it next to the soda fountains.
But lemme tell ya, my current favorite energy drink is Boo Koo. (You can find them at 7-11s) That has more energy than a regular can of red bull, and depending on the flavor, it has a better taste.
As for the wings, its just a metaphor... I've witnessed a few idiots test that slogan out before.
