There are adequate Red Bull substitutes, but what's on offer in the chocolate department can be pretty dire. In rural China, a friend and I broke down and settled for Oreos with neon fillings to try to get our chocolate fix. I've seen (and bought) Snickers bars in Africa that looked and tasted like they pre-dated the pyramids.
So funny.... When I goto third world countrys I always bring my own energy drinks and chocolate.
