    Default Cocaine in Red Bull?

    Germany has found trace elements of the nasty drug. Nothing to harm someone unless they drank like three six-packs of it. Maybe they are taking Coca-Cola's approach to tasty drinks. For those who do not know, Coca-Cola used to put cocaine in their drinks. That's why it's called COCA-Cola. Pepsi used to put in pepsiden. In fact, most soft drink companies used to put in drugs. Anyone know any other companies? I know Sierra Mist and Fanta used to put something in, dont remember what it was.....

    Before we over react, lets read the report.
    .4 micrograms per liter.
    POINT 4 MICROGRAMS PER LITER.
    Do the math. That's 1 gram dissolved in the volume of about 2 swimming pools.

    If the swimming pools are backyard size, it's more like 40 or 50 pools. An Olympic pool contains 2,500,000 liters. If you put one gram of pure cocaine into that, you would end up with exactly .4 micrograms per liter.

    So, a pretty small amount, indeed.

    Seems one would have to take a lot of trips to the restroom one their way to a very mild high.

    It's not the seriousness of doing the math, it's the humor in the headline.
