I have to applaud their courage in coming up with a striking, somewhat polarizing name - I think it probably is a name that received a lot of attention and did (for better or for worse) resonate with the target audience. And it certainly makes a statement in a sea of energy drinks with hardcore names, although none are as hard as COCAINE: Monster, Amp, Vault, Jolt, Red Bull, Rockstar, etc...

But in the end, you had to know that the FDA was going to take issue with a product, marketed to the Nation's youth, with the same name of an illicit drug.

Didnt Coke actually have cocaine in it at one time? Maybe Coca Cola saw it as a copyright infringement.
