A recent TikTok video has sent the internet into a frenzy, suggesting that Red Bull might have released a new ‘Hawk Tuah Edition’ energy drink. The video, posted by user OGLouisiana.law, features a woman claiming her husband brought home an unusual Red Bull can labeled ‘Hawk Tuah Edition,’ seemingly linked to viral sensation Haliey Welch, also known as the Hawk Tuah girl.
In the video, the TikToker holds up the can, expressing her disbelief and confusion. “Y’all, what the hell? My husband just went to the gas station, and I told him to get me a Red Bull, and he comes back with this. It literally says the Hawk Tuah Edition, spit on that thing,” she exclaimed. The video quickly amassed views and reactions, with many viewers questioning the authenticity of the product.
The TikToker went on to mock the bizarre concept, reading the fine print on the back of the can that allegedly described the flavor as the “taste of intimacy.” She further speculated, “First off, does it taste like spit? Cuz, I don’t know if I wanna try it or not. It ain’t been opened. I would’ve imagined it tastes like somebody’s spit.”
Despite the viral video’s claims, Red Bull has not made any official announcements regarding a collaboration with Haliey Welch. This lack of confirmation has led many to believe the can might be a clever hoax or a fan-made item rather than a genuine product from the energy drink giant.
Haliey Welch, who rose to fame through a viral street interview in Nashville, has since become a notable internet personality. Her bold and humorous advice on relationships and personal topics captured widespread attention, leading her to sign with The Penthouse management company. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Welch’s manager, Jonnie Forster, revealed that she has received numerous offers for adult-themed sponsorships and appearances, which she has declined, staying true to her brand.
Welch’s newfound fame has not only brought her lucrative deals but also a significant social media following. She recently celebrated reaching one million followers on Instagram and has been involved in various public appearances. On July 7, she was reportedly paid $30,000 for an appearance at the Daer Dayclub at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Apparently the #HawkTuahGirl has a #RedBull deal because there is a Hawk Tuah Edition out now.

I applaud her for profiting and getting deals, like she said herself, she has 15 minutes to get hers.
Beyond the glitz and glamour, Welch has also used her platform for charitable endeavors. On July 12, she posted a video on Instagram showcasing her donation of pet food and supplies to a local animal shelter, an act that garnered praise from her followers.
Despite the swirling rumors and the viral TikTok video, it seems unlikely that Red Bull has officially launched a ‘Hawk Tuah Edition’ energy drink. As of now, the video remains an amusing speculation rather than verified news. Welch’s manager has emphasized protecting her brand and ensuring her public image remains positive, suggesting that any official product tie-ins would be carefully vetted and announced.
The internet’s fascination with Haliey Welch continues to grow, with her every move being closely followed by fans and media alike. Whether or not the ‘Hawk Tuah Edition’ energy drink becomes a reality, Welch’s impact on popular culture is undeniable, and her story is a testament to the unpredictable nature of viral fame.
