*Fast talking* Hey everybody Caffeine Man here and today we're going over cocaine energy drink
Coming right up!
INTRO: C *THUD* M *THUD*
*LIGHTNING STRIKE*
Hey everybody, Caffeine Man here and today we're gonna be trying some cocaine.
Now, now, now, before all you prudes go and start flaging the video for inappropriate content, don't go getting
your panties up in a bunch. I'm not talking about the drug cocaine, I'm
talking about the energy drink Cocaine. There isn't any cocaine in it. They even say so on the can.
Okay? Good. Now that we got that out of the way, let's continue.
Cocaine energy drink is an energy drink made by a company called Redux Beverages.
It comes in an 8.4 ounce can and has the equivalent of three and a half red balls, as pictured on the can.
That's a grand total of 280 milligrams of caffeine.
That also makes it the energy drink with the most amount of caffeine in it.
Let's take a look at some of the other ones real quick.
When comparing the energy drinks, Red Bulls 8.4 ounce comes in at 80 milligrams.
The 12 ounce can comes in at 114 milligrams.
So, what does monster have? For the 16 ounce can of Monster, there's 160 milligrams of caffeine.
Where does cocaine weigh in?
Cocaine comes in at two 280 milligrams of caffeine for an eight ounce can, making
it the energy drink with the most amount of caffeine out of all the energy drinks.
What about Bang? Bang comes in to 300 milligrams but that's for a 16 ounce can.
Cocaine is an 8.4 ounce can with 280 milligrams of caffeine, therefore when you look at the numbers
Red Bull and Monster come in at 10 milligrams per ounce. Bang comes in at 19 milligrams per ounce and
Cocaine comes in at a whopping 35 milligrams per ounce.
Nuff said? Thus its name, Cocaine.
Cocaine was released in 2006 and as you can imagine it caused
quite a stir, but the owners knew what they were doing. They knew that it was
gonna cause a controversy and guess what? Controversy is free advertising!
Unfortunately they didn't see what was gonna happen next.
In 2007, the FDA killed it nationwide and had to be taken off the market.
What were they gonna do with all this delicious nectar from the caffeine gods?
They were just going to let us sit around. They decided to rename
it "No Name" energy drink while they revamped the logo and tried to comply with the FDA.
In 2008, they put it back on the market under its original name "Cocaine"
but the FDA still wasn't happy. Eventually all Redux Beverages needed to
do was put a disclaimer on the drink to keep the FDA happy and finally in 2012
the FDA let Redux know that they had closed the case due to the disclaimer.
Are you ready for what the disclaimer says? The disclaimer reads, "Warning this
message is for people who are too stupid to recognize the obvious. This product
does not contain the drug cocaine (duh). This product is not intended to be an
alternative to an illicit street drug and anyone who thinks so is an idiot.
You got to hand it to them, that is just an awesome disclaimer! Another thing to
note before trying this drink out, I actually recommend sipping this one if
you can. Now I like the flavor of it but one of the first times that I drank it
I was a little bit distracted and I drank it a little bit too fast and guess what?
Everything else in my life seemed to speed up as well. Now I'm no newbie to
caffeine but, trust me, getting 280 milligrams in 20 minutes, it's enough to hit anyone pretty hard.
So let's go ahead and try it out.
Smells very sweet.
Now ever since I started this channel I found that it's a
little bit difficult to actually describe the energy drink flavors but
they all usually have an energy drink taste to them. Therefore you have to
focus on the flavor itself to get an accurate description of what the flavor is.
I don't need to do that with cocaine. The energy drink flavor is very subtle
and it's easy to pick up on the berry flavor. I say it's a little bit cherry-ish, but it's a lot closer to a berry
flavor. Not strawberry, but more closer to a blueberry. So if you can imagine a blueberry with a little bit of cherry
in it, that's what I'm saying this tastes like. And there's not too much carbonation either.
To be honest, I can be a little sensitive when it comes to carbonation
and when I drink these I tend to sometimes burp immediately afterwards
because the carbonation is too high but that doesn't happen with this.
It's lightly carbonated. I mean, overall, I would relate it to a berry fruit punch
because the energy drink isn't too strong, the carbonation isn't too strong,
it's a good flavor overall. And if you work for Red Bull, which I highly doubt you do
if you're watching this video, but if you do, cover your ears. This drink is awesome!
I'm not gonna say it's better than Red Bull but the flavor of it is good,
the carbonation is low and it doesn't really have that energy drink flavor so
all that stuff makes it very appealing and, trust me, sometimes you just need
that energy boost. Well now, let's face it, I'll admit I'm a Red Bull fan but when you're having one of those days...
and you know what I mean by one of "those" days, and I need that extra boost, when I'm going to get my energy
drink, I might be grabbing this one... and maybe I'll grab this one...
but if I need some extra kick, I'm going for this baby right here!
Now, you might not actually like berry or you might just be the type of person who like spicy stuff.
You're in luck. Cocaine also comes in a spicy flavor.
The one I just tried is "Mild". So what's the spicy one taste like? Obviously it's
spicy. My first instinct is to say that it tastes kind of like hot cinnamon or
like the fireball candy, but then I do mention that it does have a spicy pepper
flavor as well. If I had to relate it to maybe like an jalapeno oil or touch of
ghost pepper oil that's why I would say but that is not a fact. I don't know what's actually in it. I'm just trying to
point out that has a spicy kick and it hits you right in the back of your throat.
So if you're thinking, "Oh, well I can handle hot cinnamon," that's the immediate flavor
but it does turn to hot pepper flavor as well so when we're talking spicy, I'm not
talking just hot cinnamon candy spicy. We're talking spicy spicy. So if you like spicy,
spicy cocaine is gonna be for you if you. If you think spicy is okay, you might want to stick to the mild.
So where can you pick this up? Well I'm an Amazon affiliate so I tend to point people to the Amazon
links but let's face it, the truth is I'm not greedy! I care about you my subscribers. I do these videos for you,
my fellow caffeine lovers. Unfortunately, Amazon is gonna charge you more than double
of what it should cost, nearly $60. So I recommend going directly to the source. I'll include a link down
below to Redux Beverages. It's their website. They sell it directly from there it's only $24.99.
Now shipping is gonna be a little bit higher, but it's still gonna be cheaper than if you purchased
it through Amazon. I'm not affiliated with Redux beverages and I guess I
probably could have approached them and asked them but, you know what, I'm a
little bit lazy, and like I said, I'm not greedy. I do these videos for you guys.
If you want to save additional money on shipping, you can actually get two cases
and the shipping will be less. Now even though you buy more cases: if you buy four, six, eight cases, well then...
you'd have an addiction problem
but if you did that, you're not gonna save that much more money. Basically, it's a difference
of getting one case or two cases because they can ship up to two cases in the box
so the price goes down a little bit. if it's your first time trying it and
you like spicy and you like berry I recommend getting two cases. If you don't like it you can always give it away
as a gag gift but I'm fairly confident you're gonna love it so go ahead spend the money.
Get two cases, you'll save a little money in the long run. And lastly guys, just a reminder,
I recommend that you sip this beverage because it is strong and like I said if you drink it too fast
you gotta get hit with that energy rush pretty hard so, once again, make sure you drink this responsibly.
