Free Red Bull or $10 for Anyone in the US

Yeah I was just joking.. Still no point in filling that out IMO. If a day comes when you have a legitimate lawsuit, this can be brought up as evidence to establish your character's "history for participating in questionable lawsuits".

Defendant's lawyer: "You once participated in a lawsuit against Red Bull because you were under the impression that it gave you actual wings... is that correct?"

For $10 or a few cans of red bull? Nah, I rather just buy it... but to each his own.

Despite my joke at the beginning, the lawsuit wasn't actually over whether Red Bull actually gives you wings. The question was whether "Red Bull was more energizing than a cup of coffee" which is what their ads claimed but research has not backed up.

The claim form only requires you to affirm that you have bought at least one Red Bull product since 2002, you didn't buy it for resale, and that you aren't employed by Red Bull. It does not require you to affirm that you were misled by their marketing.

The settlement is for $13 million and the settlement amount will not change depending on how many people claim the free Red Bull, so you are not costing anyone anything extra by getting the free $10-15.

With that being said, there is nothing wrong with refusing to participate because you don't like the class action lawsuit itself.
