An 8.4 ounce can of Cocaine Energy Drink contains 280 milligrams of caffeine.

Cocaine is a new energy drink from Redux Beverages. Available in an 8.4oz (250ml) can, the drink claims that it is 350% stronger than a Red Bull.

Rather than being sweetened with High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), the Cocaine Energy Drink is sweetened with Dextrose - a simple sugar.

Ingredients in Cocaine Energy Drink

Carbonated Water, Dextrose, Citric Acid, Taurine, Natural Flavors, Sodium Citrate, Caffeine, D-Ribose, Salt, Sodium Benzoate, Inositol, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Sucralose, L-Carnitine, Potassium Sorbate, Guarana Seed Extract, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12), & FD & C Coloring.

Per 8.4 fl. oz serving
Taurine (700mg), Inositol (100mg), Sodium (200mg), L-Carnitine (50mg), D-Ribose (250mg), Guarana (25mg).

From a health standpoint, might as well do the real thing. Both wreak havoc on your CNS.

**Bojangles69** · 09-26-2006, 03:27 PM

wtf? 280 mg of caffiene aint shit.
one cup of coffe has 200mg. So its not even one and a half cups of coffe.
Vitamin B6 is a potentiator, Tuarines a potentiator and it supposively helps reduce blood pressure which id imagine they add to energy drinks to prevent the "shakes". Guarana seed has a compound very simliar to synthetic caffiene in it, some people call it caffiene but its really not. They say this shit is 350% stronger than Red Bull and i dont even think im going out on a limb to say thier full of shit.
They can alter doses of certain "natural" ingredients to have an undetermined amount of a certain stimulant but im going to try some at work this weekend but i guranatee it wont be any stronger than any of the other millions of energy drinks that make claims like you can fly and shit and it just winds up preventing me from falling alseep.
And yes the name cocaine will be an interesting marketing strategy, i think people will drink it because of all the controversy it raises. Reminds me of the drink Bawlz that came out, i was asking girls for like a month if they want to "taste my bawlz" lol.

i really cant wait to try this

... hey... bouncin on walls to a new level!

**SpartanStrength** · 09-26-2006, 06:13 PM

I actually cant wait to try it! i love caffeine/energy drinks.
It should be good, Redbull has about 80 milligrams, and Bojangles coffee is equivilent to redbull, it does not have 200mg of caff. Caffeine pills have 200mg and when i pop one i get a decent burst of energy when im working out. Sooo this should be good. And its supposed to taste like fruit punch.

**cfiler** · 09-26-2006, 06:57 PM

Sounds cool. I'm not a fan of Red Bull, but I'd like to try this...

I think the controversy would be over naming an energy drink after a narcotic, not the caffeine content.
