An Energy Drink Called Cocaine
Redux Beverages have created a new energy drink and called it “cocaine”. Seriously.
I suppose if they want a lot of PR – this is the way to get it – but naming a drink after an illegal drug?
“When a person sees the name of the drink, some psychological effect happens and the person is already experiencing the energy buzz before they even open the can,” speculates Cocaine inventor Jamey Kirby.
The makers of the drink claim that it is 350% stronger than Red Bull.
The drink comes with this warning: *Warning – this beverage should be consumed by responsible adults. Failure to adhere to this warning may result in excess excitement, stamina, fun and possible feeling of euphoria.
From my calculations, Cocaine appears to have about 280 mg of caffeine per 8.4 oz (250ml) can. That’s a lot – and puts it right up there with Wired X294 (compare caffeine in Cocaine or check out the caffeine database).
UPDATE: The drink can STILL be purchased from Xoxide .

Where do I buy the energy drink called “Cocaine.”
DUUUUUUDE, bring on the Cocaine!!!!!
Has the FDA taken a look at this product yet? I am interested in seeing what this “numbing” ingredient is. That sure can’t be safe for you after short or long term use. I will taste it, but not necessarily drink it unless it has passed a rigorous safety test.
What a pathetic marketing ploy. Kirby obviously has NO creative ability and is playing on an illegal drug to attract a market. No talent, Kirby, no talent! Energy drinks are great, but calling it Cocaine is totally unecessary.
He may have no talent but is going to laugh all the way to the bank on this one. When that happens he will be able to buy all of the talanted designers he needs. Think of all the high school bs that will circulate around this product. Good for him for being smart enough to hit it first.
I can’t wait to try this. It sounds so awesome!!!!
up all night drivin in the rain lookin for a fight and alot of COCAINE!!!!!!!!!
I’m so tired of this energy drink craze. Energy drinks are SUGAR and CAFFEINE. That’s pretty much it. For some reason, energy drinks make people feel rough and tough. Soft drinks have been out since 1885, and there are about 80 now. Energy drinks began in 1985, and there are over 100. It’s a MARKETING SCHEME and this new crap proves it. People are making money off of mixing a boatload od sugar, caffeine, some other stimulants, and tiny amounts of exotic-sounding herbs to make you feel good about drinking it. Complete shit.
Sup hell yah cocaine drink! Buy it in bulks and as for you Spark and Jay ….dude why are you two even responding to this comment page “but not necessarily drink it unless it has passed a rigorous safety test.”-Jay Dude what kind of pussy are you and spark no body cares about your personal philisophical bs if you want to spew that crap write a book but as for me IM BUYING THE NEXT 100 CASES of this cause who knows how long it will be legal……-COLD
And actually if you all read the stuff there is a reason it is called cocaine one that its 350% stronger than Red Bull and two it has numbing agents in it to numb the throat giving the effect of cocaine this is about as close to doing the drug cocaine as you can get without it being cocaine …..durrrrrr Send me your fan mail to cold_elements@hotmail.com peace
Taste it but not drink it? Are you serious?! Sounds like another line I heard once, “I didn’t inhale”. If you want to try it then try it but you can probably get a better buzz by ordering a triple shot espresso at your favorite coffee shop.
All i can say is ‘one thing leads to another’ PARENTS BEWARE!, Kirby is out to take the innocence out of your children…he has obviously chosen the devil for his leader…it is the signs of the times…when good seems bad, and bad seems good. Kirby where has your long term thinking gone? or did you ever have it?
dude where do we buy the cocaine
I WANT IT
WOOHOO!! Lets get stoked. I Love it!!!
where do i buy this drink?
80 bucks please.
Sounds pretty awesome. The guy is pushing the limit a bit with the title, but hey, I’m going to buy some!
How do you buy this drink?
You are all crazy ! Wait until some KID dies from an overdose of this stuff or something stronger… i.e. REAL Cocaine.
