Blow Energy Drink Mix could suffer the same fate that torpedoed the first launch of Cocaine Energy Drink.

Is this what the world has become? Where it is profitable to sell faux drugs? Shame on this company for exploiting the press this way and on top of that they’re just a copy cat! As most great ideas are but it this a great idea to copy? Remember to be infamous is not to be famous.
