A new Red Bull has emerged, and it is called Cocaine. The company claims to be against drugs and yet asks if customers can "handle the rush?" We were wondering who their spokesperson would be and figured Lindsay Lohan would be the most appropriate fit.

The energy drink called Cocaine was pulled from shelves because of nationwide concerns about its name.
The FDA issued a warning letter last month to the distributer, Redux Beverages LLC of Las Vegas, saying that they were illegally marketing the drink as a "legal alternative" to the street drug and as a dietary supplement." On the company's website, the drink is advertised as “Speed in a Can,” “Liquid Cocaine” and “Cocaine — Instant Rush.”
The company argued that their energy drink has NO cocaine in it and nobody thinks it does.

Energy drinks have gained enormous popularity in the past few years despite the extremely high levels of sugar and caffeine found in almost any energy drink on the market.
The name energy leads you, the consumer, to believe you are drinking a good thing (maybe something that will help you excel in your work out) when you're not, and it could not be further from it. One can of energy drink tends to have 4 times the caffeine than a can of coke and about 7 teaspoons of sugar.

This is one odd name for an energy drink. (Yes, another one! Just what we need.) I don't know about you, but I want to feel like I just blew my life savings playing craps, did a pile of cocaine, and partied with hookers all weekend.
