Yeah. Obviously nobody in their marketing department has ever had to suffer through a loved one with a coke addiction. I would wish it on them (karma and all), but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Idiots.

Cocaine comes in red cans, with the name spelled out in what are meant to resemble lines of white powder.
When i first saw this in the store, it made me feel kinda sick. Read more here...

Well it was intended to resemble the real coke. I'm very lucky that coke didn't trigger me. I'm purely an X meth girl, lucky for me. It gave you the same feeling of coke, gave you the numb feeling, very odd, I only did coke once or twice didn't like it, was weird to me, and I felt the same way when I drank this stuff. I drank about half the can and I was bouncing off the walls, my employer drank the other half, it was a trip.
I know it was a stupid thing for me to do, my curiosity got the best of me, I thought it would be just like Red Bull. It would trigger the hell out of any Coke Addict. Oh My.... I don't know how they made it so close to cocaine, but theirs something in that stuff... It doesn't say lidocaine on the can, but I dunno..

I never did try it...(the energy drink that is).

So that is why it really did numb you, that is terrible.

Ironically the gas station I found it in was in the richest part of Beverly Hills, pretty close to Rodeo Drive, it was like 5.95 I think....
I did not know that was legal..
Kirby confesses that a "throat-numbing" ingredient is added to the drink to emulate its namesake, but he won't divulge the identity of that add-in, saying it's confidential.

yeah according to the article...
"Kirby confesses that a "throat-numbing" ingredient is added to the drink to emulate its namesake, but he won't divulge the identity of that add-in, saying it's confidential."
I thought they had to tell you the ingredients of things you consume??
That would for sure be a trigger...
