Red Bull Cola Test Reveals Cocaine !

Red Bull Cola Banned After Tests Reveal Drink Contains Cocaine

Red Bull’s new Cola beverage might not be as popular as the brand’s energy drink, which is strange considering it’s addictive ingredient. No, not caffeine. Try cocaine.

That’s right, during recent tests on the beverage it was found to have trace amounts (4 micrograms) of the illegal drug, prompting officials in six German states to force retailers to pull the products off their shelves.

The amount of cocaine found is too low to be a health concern, however, it is still not permitted in food or drink in Germany. Red Bull has said that is uses coca leaf extracts for natural flavor and said that no cocaine was found in the company’s own testing.

Coca-Cola is known to have once used cocaine in its drinks, however, that practice stopped in 1903. The amount used back then was significantly higher at 9 milligram.
Red Bull currently advertises its new cola drink on its Formula 1 cars.

German officials are dumb asses.

Its on the freakin' label. I picked some up to try it a few months back and noticed that it had coca leaf listed in the ingredients.

They had to test it when Red Bull has it listed on the can??

You don't live in Germany, so you don't know whether or not its listed there. The formula could also be different. Coke is completely different in the UK than here in America.
