RED Bull has agreed to pay over $14.8 million after being sued for falsely vowing to provide consumers with superpowers.

The plaintiffs wrote in their lawsuit that the energy drink was misleading customers with the slogan “Red Bull gives you wings,” but not because they didn’t turn into Angel from X-Men after a few sips.

It’s the enhanced performance that the representing plaintiff specifically names as a lie, declaring that he hasn’t become a better athlete, and he’s been drinking Red Bull regularly since 2002, the Consumerist reports.

The suit says, “Such deceptive conduct and practices mean that [Red Bull’s] advertising and marketing is not just ‘puffery,’ but is instead deceptive and fraudulent and is therefore actionable.”

All those athletes who claim in commercials that they can play their respective sports better because of Red Bull are perpetuating this lie, he says.

The plaintiff writes that any boost one feels after drinking Red Bull is simply due to caffeine and not the healthy ingredients the drink advertises.

According to the suit, “Even though there is a lack of genuine scientific support for a claim that Red Bull branded energy drinks provide any more benefit to a consumer than a cup of coffee, the Red Bull defendants persistently and pervasively market their product as a superior source of ‘energy’ worthy of a premium price over a cup of coffee or other sources of caffeine.”

If the settlement is approved, anyone who bought at least one can of Red Bull in the past 10 years would be reimbursed.

That would put Red Bull down $7.4 million in a matter of days, according to the Consumerist.

The plaintiffs are set to receive $11.40 in reimbursement or two free Red Bull products.

Red Bull issued a statement in response to the proposed settlement, which read, “Red Bull settled the lawsuit to avoid the cost and distraction of litigation. However, Red Bull maintains that its marketing and labelling have always been truthful and accurate, and denies any and all wrongdoing or liability.”

The brand has also agreed to change its advertising tactics, though it’s not exactly clear if the days of “Red Bull gives you wings” are coming to an end.
