Cocaine Energy Drink Slammed Edit




Cocaine Energy Drink Slammed

The Cocaine Energy Drink has been pulled from store shelves admidst a flurry of concerns over the drink’s controversial name. The drink itself contains no drugs of any sort and is merely an energy drink, but the legalities of using the word ‘cocaine’ and the questionable marketing strategy is being challenged.

The energy drink Cocaine has been pulled from stores and is planning to change its name after concerns (and legal protests) that the drink was being illegally marketed as a street drug alternative and a dietary supplement. Cocaine has been marketed as ''Speed in a Can,'' ''Liquid Cocaine'' and ''Cocaine -- Instant Rush.'' Although the company says Cocaine contains no drugs and is marketed as an energy drink.
