http://drinkcocaine.com/mainindex.php I find this really hard to believe that a company could be so irresponsible to name a drink cocaine. What kind of message does this send to children? To call a drink after an illegal drug describing it as giving an euphoric feeling, a rush. This is what the site reads: Warning! You are about to experience the highest energy content of ANY energy drink on the market today! 350% greater than The Bull! Cocaine is not just a re-hash of existing drinks: It is a completely unique new formula - it tastes like a fireball, a carbonated atomic fireball! The question you have to ask yourself is: "Can I handle the rush?" Compare the Top Energy Drinks!

Let's hope that other major stores do the same as 7-11 stores and ban this stuff. Thanks for contributing to the discussion. :)

I am appalled and also delighted to read that I am not the only one who feels this way. Let's hope it is off the market soon. Thanks for responding. :)

I can't believe it's even legal to name a drink that,it's certainly immoral.This drink is aimed at teenagers for sure.I think it's absolutely disgusting! It just goes to show what people will stoop to to make a quick buck.

You are right in that it is immoral to call a drink by this name plus it is aimed at teenagers. It does appear though that some are taking a stand against it, and refusing to stock this drink. I applaude the people or businesses who take a stand, because they will certainly be forgoing profits as a result. It does appear that some people put their community spirit before the dollars. :)

This is unbelievable - how can they get away with it. Talk about sending the wrong message to kids. I imagine lots of teenagers would rush out and buy this just because of the name. sad, eh?

Definately the wrong message to be sending to kids, particularly when they are at an impressionable age, as far as I am concerned. Thanks for responding Bunny. :)

How disgusting this is and someone told me that a lot of the shops won't carry it anyway because of the risks involved with it. A friend's sister had a small shop and the Coke rep told her the company wouldn't be happy if anyone stocked it and if they did they couldn't put it in the coke fridges ...... they hire, rent or lease the fridges from coke and are supposed to only have products made by coca cola in them but the company reps will turn a blind eye to a lot of other stuff. Not this drink though,

It is good that some people are taking steps to prevent the sale of these products to children or minors.

I am not sure whether or not they got permission to use the name but I think it is just the most awful name to give to a drink. Thanks for your response. :)

that is just terrible that they would do that. i can't image a company being able to get by with that either.

Yes it is awful and I hope that nobody buys the stuff or some action is taken to prevent it being manufactured anymore. Thanks for responding. :)

I agree with you but alas there is always someone who will try to cash in, and unfortunately some people will drink this stuff too.

I think it's an awful name too. Energy Drinks are bad enough for people, without gearing it towards teens. I'm sure they named it that to get kids into it.
