Censored Cocaine Company Chops Out A New Line
Redux Beverages founder James Kirby posted asbanner advert on his
website saying "R.I.P Cocaine energy drink Sept. 2006 - May 2007 this week
and announced that his controversial energy drink will from now on be
called 'Censored'.
"We love the 'Censored' name because it has the same rebellious and fun
spirit that our original name did," the Redux Beverages founder said
in a statement. "We're in America. I can call my drink anything I want,"
he added (in a follow-up interview with Fort Wayne's New Sentinel
newspaper.)
The guerrilla marketing genius also admitted that he'd come up with the
Cocaine name deliberately to wind up the US establishment and stressed
he remains entirely unrepentant.
"I thought it would be fun," he told the New Sentinel, "(To) create a
controversial product and watch the politicians and people get their
panties in a knot."
In more repentance/ extreme energy drink news, born again company
1in3Trinity attracted media attention this week after launching their new
'spiritually uplifting' 1in3Trinity energy drink which reportedly is made
from 'a special blend of grapes and plants that once originated from
the Holy Land.'
"We've got a cross on the can so it's based on Christianity,"
1in3Trinity president Paula Masters told health portal NutraIngredients-USA. "I
don't think you'll find someone who doesn't believe in Jesus carrying
the can," she added.
