Removed Image

I removed the 'My drink' image for the drink's main placeholder; it should not be there (anymore) Since the drink has it's name back. Sparky-sama (talk) 10:10, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Revision

I just revised much of the article. It reads much better, and contains some new information revealed to me during my visit with Jamey Kirby (founder/senior partner of Cocaine) on April 23rd. I also got rid of some information which I found to be downright absurd...it was completely faulty, unbased information about the drink being called "Banned", which it never was.

or is it called 'No Name' now? 19:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Article Quality

We need to work on this article's quality. For lack of a better term, it sucks. The article should be deleted, but I'll keep it for the sake of it being a controversal topic. --CanesOL79 15:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC) This drink does contain dextrose... I don't know what this guy is talking about, dextrose is what the drink is known for...[reply]

Wait. This article, no matter however much it may or may not be teh suxxor, is information that someone will find useful. That means that it should be improved, not deleted out of laziness. I for one am going to help improve it.--The4sword 18:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I just added a source for the new logo as hosted on the drink's offical website. HalcyonicParagon 05:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why was my source just taken away? Was it not reliable enough? HalcyonicParagon 15:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just did a major revision. LuminousNerd

Trivia

I am adding a trivia on the daily show. ---vonurb 23:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which is the official web site?

Can anybody give a citation for either of these being the product's official web site?

hxxp://www.drinkcocaine.com/
hxxp://www.cocaine-drink.com/

"Redux Beverages said on its Web Site, www.drinkcocaine.com..." [1]. the other is just linkspam. Hu12 19:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Found this statement by the owner of Redux Beverages

"www.cocaine-drink.com is run by a sleeze-ball who is riding on the back of our name. The official Cocaine Energy Drink is at www.drinkcocaine.com.

We are currently filling a lawsuit against www.cocaine-drink.com. Stay tuned for more information."

sounds like someones been naughty --Hu12 20:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to know...

....what's in the drink that makes your throat burn. No info on this provided on the website.

we put an ingredient that is a derivitive of pepper concentrate in it to give that effect

Image Verification

I found an image to use, but I need verification. Please help!--The4sword 19:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

A question this image is mostly text, but presenting it as an image makes it less accessible (e.g. to screen readers and search engines), so wouldn't it make more sense to change this to a table and place that in the article instead? - RedWordSmith 07:38, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 01:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But done very poorly (no offense). Someone do it better; I've no idea how to work with tables in Wikipedia :(

The Controversy

They're pissed because it's named after a drug. Aren't we forgetting what Coca-Cola is technically named after? Cyberia23 21:09, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It might not be germane. Coca-Cola appears to have been grandfathered into the current system as a fanciful trademark, just as not all Snapple products have apple juice. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 21:22, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"no longer on shelves in the U.S.A."

I just bought a couple cans of this yesterday.

We should move the page to Censored(drink) (Cyb3rdemon 00:29, 13 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

No, we should not. It is not, and never was, called Censored (neither was it called Banned). I do not know where whoever wrote that got their information. However, we could set up a redirect for the article "Insert Name Here:". The confusion of the problem is, the drink is being marketed as Cocaine in Europe and as Insert Name Here: in the states.

I've got a new name for it: I Can't Believe It's Not Cocaine!
