Alderman: 'Cocaine' Energy Drink Must Go
Drink Has 280 Milligrams Of Caffeine, Secret Ingredient That Gives High
(CBS) CHICAGO The Food and Drug Administration and a Chicago alderman are looking for a crackdown on an energy drink that goes by the name "Cocaine."
The Chicago Sun-Times reported Ald. Edward Burke (14th) wants to ban the sale of the energy drink in Chicago.
"Cocaine" has 280 milligrams of caffeine, about three times the strength of Red Bull.
The drink also has a secret "throat-numbing" ingredient, which reportedly gives a high, a tingly euphoric feeling, and a six-hour buzz.
A slogan on cans of "Cocaine" proclaims it "the Legal Alternative."
Energy drinks are extremely popular, particularly with the younger market. They have become a $3 billion industry.
