Cocaine Energy Drink

Yo fam,

I saw this ad last week, and I'm surprised no one brought it up on HT yet. I think it's safe to say that marketing has gone waaay beyond its limits with this one:

ah no worries mike:

Cocaine (coca leaf product) was in the original coca cola

Coca-Cola
was named back in 1885 for its two "medicinal" ingredients: extract of coca leaves and kola nuts. Just how much cocaine was originally in the It's all gone now, folks. formulation is hard to determine, but the drink undeniably contained some cocaine in its early days.

280 milligrams of caffeine.

Wooohooo. I predict cardiac arrhythmias by the truckload. Perhaps even a few full-blown cardiac arrests.

Gotta love it. Job security for those of us in the medical profession.

>>Kirby claims Cocaine is "350 percent stronger than Red Bull" but that people do not experience the "sugar crash" or jitters that he says some of the other energy drinks can produce.<<

LOL. And just how did he achieve that scientific breakthrough?

Re: Cocaine Energy Drink

To name an "energy beverage" after an illegal substance makes no sense. It's as asinine as giving a new magazine the title "Child Porn Monthy" or the newest graphite golf club sold in pro shops "The Wife Beater".

The creator of this useless drink, who says "As soon as people look at the can, they smile", clearly has marketed this swill with the unorthodox moniker strictly for the shock value of it.

I promise that I will not "smile" if I ever see his product on the shelves of my corner 7-11. I pray that this product fails.
