Cocaine, the drink, pulled from store shelves....

http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/diet.fitnes...k.ap/index.html

Personally, I think it's a tasteless name to market an energy drink under. As to whether or not the name should be banned, I don't know. My first instinct is yes, because I think it would have the effect of "cocaine" being thought of very casually and maybe cut down that little bit of resistance a person might otherwise have if offered some, if for no other reason than to see what real cocaine is like. I'm undecided on this, but the old socialist side of me says ban it.

Yes, the name is tasteless, yes it's a cheap ploy, and the people who came up with it should be flogged. Should the name be banned? No, but one would think most stores would have the sense not to stock the crap in the first place. You vote with your wallets people.
