An Energy Drink Called Cocaine

cocaine.jpgRedux 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 .

    If it is such a good energy drink, why the need to go to such cheap tactics or gimmick as this? This makes light of cocaine and to all who know any addicts, this is insulting and making light of something that has truly led to dangerous habits. If it’s such a worthwhile product, why not sell it on it’s own merit? Labeling it “cocaine” is simply discusting.

    This stuff… man, this stuff.

    That’s all I can say. If you don’t mind it tasting like ass, and actually burning your throat on the way down, you’ll love it. I’ve never had so much caffeine in a single drink. It works if you can get passed the whole “my throat is on fire” thing.
