Cocaine high-energy drink?!

Did you know this?

There exists a Cocaine high-energy drink, containing three and a half times the amount of caffeine as Red Bull, another popular high-energy drink.

Cocaine was pulled from U.S. shelves in 2007, after the FDA declared that its producers, Redux Beverages, were "illegally marketing their drink as an alternative to street drugs."

The drink is still available, however, online, in Europe and even in select stores in the U.S. Despite the controversy, Redux Beverages does not plan to cease production any time soon. You know what they say -- there's no such thing as bad publicity.
