LAS VEGAS (UPI) -- The new energy drink Cocaine from Las Vegas' Redux
Beverages is being designated by the company as "the legal
alternative" to its illegal namesake.
The company and the drink's inventor, Jamey Kirby, claim the new drink
will offer those drinking it both a physical high from increased
vitamin B12 and sugars, along with a psychological high from the
product's shocking name, said the New York Post.
"When a person sees the name of the drink, some psychological effect
happens and the person is already experiencing the energy buzz before
they even open the can," said Kirby.
"I can think of no other product except real cocaine that could have
that effect on the public," he added.
The paper said Kirby confessed that a throat-numbing ingredient was
added to the drink to emulate its namesake. The drink -- like its
illegal counterpart -- will be marketed to partiers.
