“How does Santa get his reindeer to fly?”/“He uses Red Bull because it gives you wings!”

“Red Bull gives you wings” is a slogan for Red Bull energy drink. A commercial in 2014 showed Santa Claus taking Red Bull—and giving his reindeer Christmas day off.
 
“If santa was black, he wouldn’t have reindeer. He’d feed bitches red bull, givemm wings, and fly through the night sky with swagg #RealNigga” was posted on Twitter on December 24, 2011. “Alright leaving #MillerLite and chips for Santa and Red Bull for the reindeer! They gotta be tired! And well Red Bull gives u wings!” was posted on Twitter on December 2, 2011.
 
Some versions of the joke have the reindeer drinking the Red Bull. “How does santa get his Reindeer to fly? He uses Red Bull because it gives you wings!” was posted on Twitter on December 3, 2016. “How does santa get his Reindeer to fly? He uses Red Bull because it gives you wings!” was posted on Twitter on December 17, 2017.
