Cocaine + Red Bull= Trouble In Germany!

Yes, the title is correct! Germany is considering a nationwide ban on the high-energy drink Red Bull Cola after traces of cocaine were found in it.

Authorities in the states of Hesse and North-Rhine Westphalia have ordered retailers to stop selling the beverage.

The consumer ministries in the two states confirmed they had ordered retailers to pull the drink off their shelves after a food safety institute in North-Rhine Westphalia found the drug in samples.

Authorities said the cocaine levels did not pose a health threat but were not permitted in foodstuffs. The investigation found the drink to contain a non-cocaine extract of coca leaf in the drink. That means the drink cannot be classified as a foodstuff but as a narcotic and needs a special license, authorities said.

So if you are German, do not and I repeat, DO NOT drink Red Bull!!!
