Cocaine in a can???
The Ultimate Energy Drink: Cocaine?

Sept. 18, 2006 -- Most people know what cocaine is, and now Redux Beverages in Las Vegas is offering what it calls a "legal alternative" to the illegal drug in form of an energy drink.

Jamey Kirby, the drink's inventor, says the name for the drink — Cocaine — came to him during a brainstorming session at 1 o'clock in the morning.

"It's an energy drink, and it's a fun name," says Kirby. "As soon as people look at the can, they smile."

Kirby says Redux wanted to make a beverage that would send a sensation to the mouth. He describes Cocaine, the new beverage, as a "fruity, atomic fireball" drink.

2. I admit I would buy it just for the humor value.

However, cocaine is really something best enjoyed nasally with that wonderful bitter drip and numbing sensation.

The idea probably came to the guy while brainstorming on Cocaine.
