Goodbye Cocaine Energy Drink…

First the FDA went after it

Then officials in Connecticut seized hundreds of cases of the drink due to some strange licensing law.

Then Cocaine was banned in Texas.

Now Illinois Attorney General has demanded that all sales of the drink cease.

It doesn’t take a genius to see that the days of Cocaine Energy Drink are numbered. I hope this does not lead to an all out war on caffeine.

UPDATE: Fully banned - the makers Redux Beverages intend to change the name.

Goodbye Cocaine, I never knew thee sweeteth burning taste on the backeth of thy throat.

Im inclined to buy a 24pack and sell it for a few hundred $$

Ironic that an energy drink sporting the name of an illegal street drug could now possibly end up on the black market itself! (lol)

>’: I never got to try any either

Fortunately I don’t live in the states where it’s banned, but still, I hope cocaine doesn’t come to an end.

I need to find some free and cut cocaine really quick it seems,… but u never know, I’m in georgia and im pretty sure enough people use cocaine that it might get to stay here :p

sg May 4th, 2007 9:47 am

i still havent been able to find cocaine here. but i know enough people who know people who know where to find crazy energy drinks like that.

I tried this energy drink and man after two gulps I started buzzing about 30min later. I had the tremors and it seemed to last about half a day. So I see why they are going to ban it.

@phlup

This drink is not for people who don’t drink caffeine regularly. I’m going to buy tons of cocaine and keep some unopened.

SpazySteve May 5th, 2007 7:52 am

On a side note, where I live, I’m pretty sure people love their energy drinks, I don’t know how fast it will go away if at all.

xXkilokillerXx May 6th, 2007 10:21 pm

i am glad it is getting banned…
i refuse to drink a drink called “cocain”
cause the real thing nearly killed people i love

KarlieMildraed May 7th, 2007 8:28 am

(sorry I’ve been out of the loop)

I would “kill” to try a can of Cocaine ED. If it’s as potent as they all say, I’m game. But if it’s just some high powered energy drink that (to most here at EF.com) would be deduced down to a soda beverage, then chalk it up to another Pop I’ve tried and NEXT…

dylan May 7th, 2007 11:18 am

Well….i never had this myself…but it cant be that bad…

DeepInTheHeart May 7th, 2007 12:26 pm

I tried it and didin’t really care for taste or the burn it leaves in the back of your throat. As far as the kick, it works pretty well. It will ahve you bouncing pretty quickly. I may stockpile a few cans as collectors items to go along with the cans of Whoop-Ass and Krunk Juice :-)

PluvialForce May 7th, 2007 1:36 pm

The law that caused it to be banned in Connecticut was actually something about having unsupported medical claims associated with it. I never did here what specifically they were referencing in order to conclude that…

Spryte May 8th, 2007 6:21 am

Y-Y Thats so f-ing lame. The claim I had heard about, Was a guy who wasnt used to energy drinks -at all- tried it and got sent to the ER. Later they found he had chemical Burns in his stomach. But still, He shouldnt have tried something he didnt know about x.x

Ben "Da Sexy Sweed" Frost May 8th, 2007 6:31 am

Shame. Good stuff. Gonna clean the local gas station out before he runs out and takes it off the shelves…

XMADchugzX May 8th, 2007 7:18 am

i saw a dude drinking it and i want some BAD. i can handle quite a bit of caffiene.. especially 4 my size becuz i drink so much of it!!!!!
i hope they dont outlaw it.. at most they could put an eighteen y.o. age limit on it

HOBOBOB May 8th, 2007 7:16 pm

may 5th…banned by the man…

k May 11th, 2007 8:45 am

ok. they are still going to market the drink, same form. they are only changing the name. you people are acting like you will never see this drink again. stop pretending like the world is going to end because they are changing the name. just because you change the name of something doesn’t mean that it’s going to taste different. if i changed the name of pepsi to something like hype, does it change the taste? no! it only changes the god damn name so stop whining and get over it.

zach May 14th, 2007 9:40 am

It pisses me off that cocaine is gettin out of gas stations but luckly it hasnt been taken out of the gas station down the street from my house

Boo Radley May 15th, 2007 8:20 am

sweet to think tho…. they might ban it because of its contents when they re-release it. For me im set i could get 50 of them to drink or sell and make some money. i only have 30 now but i think that im gonna stock up because its good and alot of people like it.

momo May 15th, 2007 9:52 am

uhmm, i think everyone should just get on the internet and have it mailed here, because im gonna get some if it kills me…

well, i’ll just get the real thing…

or they should really change the name…then it could be sold…duh.

Matty D May 16th, 2007 2:25 pm

Connecticut still has some selling. Hiddin behind some Vitamin waters, I snatched 2 yesterday, and I drank one today. Saving the other one for 10 years.

dimthelights May 18th, 2007 11:36 am

I’m drinking cocaine right now, still legal in Jersey :D and goddamn its great. Stupid ban really and by the way,
to: xXkilokillerXx no offense but that’s not a good reason to be glad something is banned because it shares the name of something that “the people you love” were stupid enough to do in the first place and continue to due it until it almost killed them. In reality “the people you love” almost killed themselves, and I know your defense is going to be its addictive but any 3rd grader can tell you that; so not a solid defense. Should they also ban coca-cola since they openly call themselves “coke”? and again any 3rd grader can tell you what coke is short for. In fact why don’t they ban the Disney movie Cars since I know plenty of people killed by them, we should also ban astrological signs since I know people who died of Cancer, there’s so much more we can also ban but I see it like this, look outside any public building. You see that flag with the red and white lines and some blue in the corner and a bunch of stars, well that flag means you can do whatever the hell you want as long as it doesn’t intentionally or knowingly threaten the well being of others nor breach current laws. It doesn’t contain any cocaine, no one has died from it, the FDA complaints are about they name and not about any thing contain within the drink and that flag is still up, and we’re kicking 2 country’s asses while we’re at it so really comparing a name of something your loved ones were stupid enough to do and continue to do so isn’t the company’s fault nor the name’s fault, its the individual’s fault. You didn’t die of cocaine and if you never tried it you get my highest regards but you need to find smarter people to love.

andrew leonard June 14th, 2007 9:05 am

i live in connecticut where its “banned” and i can still buy it, its not that serious. stores around the state have it stocked all the time. the new monsters are better anyways ;)

Nick June 21st, 2007 10:01 am

Is there any date when they will be selling it with the new name?

908-839-3167 June 30th, 2007 11:35 am

this drink DOES burn

red bull is considered the most powerful energy drink in the world tht is legal everywhere

cocaine has the amount of caffeine as 3 and a half red bulls

it burns ur throat but not incredibly horrible for u as long as u dnt abuse it

nobody knows where to get it thats why i sell it $3.25
per can for handheld delivery if u live near freehold NJ

but if i have to ship it it will fluxuate due to shipping costs

contact me to purchase
