4.Red Bull was founded in Austria by Dietrich Mateschitz in 1984.
He went on a trip to Thailand in 1982. Looking for a cure for jetlag, he found Krating Daeng, an energy drink formulated in 1975 to help keep Thai laborers refreshed. He took the formula back to Austria as “Red Bull,” and, needless to say. It was a hit. Don’t worry; the Yoovidhya family, who originally came up with Krating Daeng (which also means “red bull” in Thai) own 51% of the business.

6.Croissants
Croissants Are Not French. Contrary to popular belief, the croissant is not a French invention (although France has adopted it as an icon of its gastronomy), but the result of a sequence of events in History. Its origins date from 1683. At the time, the Austrian town of Vienna was under siege by the Ottomans.
8. Apfelstrudel
We can trace back this typical Austrian desert to the 17th century, with the first written recipe dating back to 1696.
The filling is made with grated cooking apples, sugar, cinnamon, and bread crumbs. Many times the filling also includes raisins and nuts. The dough is unleavened, thin, and elastic, similar to phyllo.
