The Cocaine Ban:
Shortly after the Cocaine energy drink was released, The FDA sent a letter to Redux, demanding that they cease production and sale of Cocaine.
This was primarily due to the drink’s glorification of an illegal drug as well as its high caffeine content. The marketing behind the drink didn’t help either……
The drink came with this warning:
*Warning – this beverage should be consumed by responsible adults. Failure to adhere to this warning may result in excess excitement, stamina, fun and possible feeling of euphoria.
Cocaine has 280mg of caffeine per 8.4 oz (250ml) can.
That’s a lot – and puts it on the list of most caffeinated energy drinks.
Redux Beverages has evidently worked through the issues with the FDA and the drink is for sale in the USA and a few places around the world.
