Truth to Power

No more cocaine at 7-11

Drat:

7-Eleven pulls drink named Cocaine

DALLAS – Convenience-store operator 7-Eleven Inc. is telling franchises to pull a high-caffeine drink from its shelves because of the product’s name: Cocaine.

The company acted after getting complaints from parents of teens, who are a big part of the drink’s target audience.

According to the label, each 8.4-fluid ounce can contains 280 milligrams of caffeine – more jolt than a cup of coffee, a can of Coca-Cola or the leading energy drink, Red Bull – but no cocaine.</i>

Yeah, and if you snort it, it makes a mess of your face.
