Cocaine Test Prompts Red Bull Removal In Germany

viyh writes to mention that six German states have mandated pulling Red Bull Cola energy drinks off the shelves after testing found trace amounts of cocaine in the drink. "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 US and Europe.' It said similar coca leaf extracts are used worldwide as flavoring, and a test it commissioned itself found no cocaine traces."

    It appears as if there is an influx of elementary school teachers on slashdot recently. I assumed it was common sense that the majority of non-retards were aware that Pepsi's competitor previously manufactured cola with cocaine. In addition, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine that a large amount of anything, can/will kill you.

    You mean you can train a nigger to walk upright and (sort of) speak English, but deep down he's still a nigger.
