baby formula is very much a high theft item in poor communities

people steal it and know they can make a quick buck selling it to poor single moms that need it for their kids. If you go to a poor neighborhood and go into a Walgreens all the baby formula and laundry detergent will be behind glass or have anti-theft stuff attached to it

the whole "stealing to feed your family" defense doesn't really work when you also steal red bull

For everybody too lazy to read even the opening paragraphs and instead relying on the headline:
Three Maryland people have been charged with stealing $11,000 of baby formula from a number of Giant grocery stores in Pennsylvania.
Police allege that individuals, Mark A. Rodgers, Samantha Slicer and April M. Rhoades concealed Similac baby formula with other items, like dog food, soda, and Red Bull, in order to steal it.

They were using those items to steal the baby formula. Shit had nothing to do with the Red Bull, it's all about the baby formula.

In a Giant store, Similac baby formula retails for roughly $1.50 per ounce and $20 for a 12 ounce can. Similac is one of the most sort-after brands, and it's commonly used at U.S. hospitals. At the start of the coronavirus pandemic there was a shortage of baby formula in some retail outlets, due to people panic buying. This in turn increased the price of the product online and the black market.

Well, a 750ml bottle of booze contains about 25 ounces, or a bit more than twice as much as the 12 ounce can of formula.
So, as long as that 750ml bottle costs less than about $40 or so, the booze is cheaper. ^.^;

It's not much of a profit for them doing that though. It would be cheaper to find something else than a bottle of alcohol.

It's moreso stolen for drug production.

Who uses baby formula for drug production? It's basically just milk.

Have you ever needed booze after you ran out but the stores were closed? The guy you call usually charges double.

They're both gross. Full Throttle and Mango Loco Monster are the only energy drinks I like the taste of.

I don't drink a lot of them anymore though.

My favorite was the Jeff Gordon one. I don't know why they never brought it back with just a different label.

Like I said. It's the same "energy" ingredients as any other energy drink; it's just flavored differently.

those energy drinks are all flavored with taurine, which is primarily a byproduct of the beef industry and heavily derived from cow bile

Formula for the baby, Red Bull for the parents to keep up with the baby. Kinda checks out, actually.
