Amelia Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Red Bull pulled in Germany after cocaine test Authorities say the drug level was too low to pose a health risk Associated Press 25 May,2009 BERLIN - Six German states have told retailers to stop selling Red Bull Cola energy drinks after a test found a trace amount of cocaine. The bans started Friday after a sample test conducted by authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia state found 0.4 micrograms per liter in the drink. Five other states also banned it from shops amid concerns over possible narcotics law violations Germany's Federal Institute for Risk Assessment said Monday that the cocaine level was too low to pose a health risk. It planned to produce a more detailed report Wednesday. Red Bull said its cola is "harmless and marketable in both the U.S. and Europe." It said similar coca leaf extracts are used worldwide as flavoring, and a test it commissioned itself found no cocaine traces.

nuff sed Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 It is interesting to note that I came across some powdered Tang drink mix this morning at my favorite Dented Can and Salvage Store. Guess what one of the ingredients was???? Caffeine!......I wonder whether the Tang they sent up on the Space Shuttle some time ago was the caffeinated variety? Quote
