R.I.P Cocaine

LAS VEGAS, June 12 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Redux Beverages announced that its world-famous energy drink Cocaine would take on a new name, or rather a lack thereof. In a move unprecedented in the cluttered energy drink market, Redux will soon allow its users to individually decide what they want the drink to be called. The new packaging will feature a white “billboard” and copy (“Insert Name Here”) encouraging the user to name it, write on it and brand it. In addition Redux will produce a line of stickers, presented via new in-store displays, to be placed on the cans just in case the user needs a little “help” naming it. Some sticker examples are “Banned by The Man,” “Screwed” and “Censored.” An ongoing naming challenge on the website (DrinkNoName.com) will also be part of the effort.
