I'm playing the Devil's advocate here, but these seem like instances of dark British humour being delivered in the traditional deadpan fashion - the humour being in the absurdity of someone keeping a straight face while saying something obviously inane or offensive.

Coffee is a lot more than caffeine, though. It contains a whole family of monoamine oxidase inhibitors, which have a host of effects on the nervous system.

That said, Red Bull very likely contains several types of flavonoids that also act as MAO-B inhibitors.

Coffee, on the other hand, contains both MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitors mainly from the Harmala alkaloid family. Some of the compounds are neurotoxic.

The security implications of running JS in an interpreter and running native bytecode are very different, though. Native apps also routinely request much more permissions and gather extra user data such as contacts, just because it is possible to do so.
