Drink Cocaine

THIS REVIEW JUST IN: Liquid Cocaine: Cayenne You Say Nasty?
Upon first can-cracking, it smells like cherries, and when poured, resembles clown piss. While it has been described as tasting "like a Jolly Rancher", we had a different take. Our reactions evolved from "Oh God, it burns" to "(hysterical coughing)" to "I can’t… I can’t feel my chest… it’s on fire!"
The buzz was all about a new drink, Cocaine, introduced at runway parties and clubs in the United States last week. The New York Post ran with the story about this new Cocaine drink, which is advertised as "the legal alternative."
The drink's maker maintains that "doing Cocaine" - the beverage, that is - gives you a bigger and better high without the crash that other energy drinks cause.

They say a high hits you within five minutes, followed by a caffeine boost 15 minutes later. But hold on - the ride lasts five hours and the concoction is "350 percent stronger than Red Bull," they claim.

They argue that the effect is part chemical - this drink uses "simple" sugars that don't need to be broken down by the body to create a sugar buzz, and a much larger dose of vitamin B12 - and part psychological.

"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, whose company, Redux Beverages, is based in Las Vegas.
Who's got her panties in a bunch over the name? Tabloid Whore.
All my life i've been the good girl. No smoking, drugging or getting too loose with the boys. I now have a shameful addiction. I am a tabloid whore.
Energy Fiend has the straight dope. According to a chart on the Energy Fiend blog, an 8.4 ounce can of Cocaine Energy Drink contains 280 milligrams of caffeine. This compares with 160 mg in a can of Rockstar Juiced, 80 mg in a can of Red Bull, and 40 mg in a can of Coca-Cola Classic.

Meanwhile, things are going better in Afghanistan, with Coca-Cola opening a new plant as part of the reconstruction. Things go better with Coke.
