Just say ... blow?
Last night we went to a back alley and picked up a stash of Cocaine. The energy drink, that is. Three cans, three kinds: Cocaine (full-throttle!), Cocaine Free (sugar-free) and Cocaine Cut (same flavor without "the burn").
Red Bull, Rockstar and Monster offer a big enough buzz in a can, so what does Cocaine have going for it? Other than an in-your-face name and tongue-in-cheek campaign seemingly aimed at a boozed up Jager-bombing crowd that would stupidly think drugs are cool, that is.
For one, it apparently packs more of a punch: 3 ½ bull heads according to the can. And, we hear-and will know soon enough after conducting our own taste test-that the original Cocaine drink creates quite a throat burn, simulating the effects of the drug.
Surely Nancy Reagan would just say no. Would you? Well, the FDA is-- at least to the marketing campaign of Redux Beverages LLC, which produces the energy drink.
If you've tried it, we want to know what you think. Still curious about Cocaine? Stone Lotus is hosting the official Chicago launch party on April 20.
