Have you heard about the latest energy drink?  Believe it or not, its called Blow.  And, they sell it with a fake credit card and mirror, I heard.

Really?

Seriously?

You all do know that ‘blow’ is slang for cocaine, right? Or its a Johnny Depp movie about cocaine.

There is no need for an energy drink to use these ploys to sell their product.  In my mind, they’re basically comparing their product to cocaine… like ‘you’ll get the same results’.

I’m baffled.

I’m not happy about it.

I feel like it should be pulled from the shelves and not released again until its marketing strategy has changed.  At minimum.

What are your thoughts on naming this product (that you can buy at any corner store) a harmful and deadly drug’s street name?

  2. I think it is horrible. Really.

    If people like you keep complaining i will have to stock up, and stocking up on anything costs a lot of money

    I wonder why they don’t have “Meth” or “Crack”? Has way more kick than cocaine. I wonder what it will do to people that snort it? I heard a new one the other day, this lady at rehab snorted coffee grounds! I just thought, “Ouch!”

    Fab – At this rate, it should be released sometime next summer.

    Blue – Stock up on Blow? Well, you can buy the shelves clean, hopefully they won’t restock.

    Annie – I can’t imagine how it feels to inhale anything up your nose on purpose. I’m sure it can’t be good for you.

    Well, there is “Coke” already and that seems pretty popular among the kids today.

    Nobody – I guess my biggest problem with ‘Blow’ is that they sell it in powder form, with a credit card and mirror.

    Oh, I snorted everything back in the day. I haven’t drank or done drugs in over 12 years. But the coffee grounds really threw me for a loop, never heard of that!
