Energy Drinks Named for Drugs

I told you about Cocaine Energy Drink.  Here's the lovely and very talented Astrid Allen from $pread Magazine trying a can:

So how was it, Astrid?

Such a trooper. Actually, it tastes like burning. The company calls it a "fireball", and they're right.

You won't go grab a can of this when you want something light and refreshing; you'll get one when you need to hurt yourself enough to wake up.

Just coincidentally, I spotted this truck the other day:

 

It's for Kronik Energy, chronic, of course, being a slang term for marijuana. I don't know if it's the association with craving good snacks when you have the munchies, but Kronik was much smoother and tastier than Cocaine.

Curious, I headed over to Energy Fiend and, sure enough, there is also a Krunk Energy Drink, which I would have assumed was a joke if I hadn't been told otherwise.(Crunk, if you don't know, is a rap word meaning "crazy" and "drunk".)

This leaves Diesel and Tina as other possible drink names, but I really think Cocaine chose the best one.

Huh. I just want to try something.

Now, I want to undo it.

well while the all new cocaine energy drink was a good idea...... it was a very bad business idea at the same time. Yes it got good media to start, but now it will fade and product will still be terrible. So the company will have an initial burst of sakes then will fizzle out to nothing
