Cocaine takes another blow
Talk about "just say no"!
Our big story Wednesday was all about the lastest energy drinks, including one buzz bev that was just begging for controversy -- it was called Cocaine. Also on Wednesday (coincidence?), Illinois Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan demanded the beverage no longer be sold in the state, stating that it's in violation of Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. While Cocaine doesn't actually contain cocaine, Madigan's said the product "promotes the use of illegal drugs."
If you look at the Cocaine web site today, sure enough, it says the drink is no longer for sale not only in Illinois, but also in Texas and Connecticut.
So what are you missing? We taste tested the Cocaine drink, as well as cocktails made with the stuff and other other amped-up alcohol available at local clubs.
But what do you think: Should Illinois ban this drink because of its name?
