American company Redux Beverages have announced massive price cuts for their controversial Cocaine energy drink with a typically cheeky press release, giving consumers a US$20 price cut for anyone who buys two 24 can cases.

“Our economy has tanked and the holidays may seem a little bleak, but do not worry, Redux Beverages is announcing the Cocaine Holiday Stimulus Package in order to boost your holiday economic spirits,” the company statement read. “You ask yourself, ‘no human can consume 48 cans of Cocaine Energy Supplement over the 2008 holiday season; are they trying to kill us?’ The answer is no, we are not trying to kill you,” they added. “We hope that you will share that second case by giving out cans of Cocaine Energy Supplement to your friends during this holiday season; there is no better way to boost someone’s holiday spirits,” they suggested.

The fast growing US company also recently set up a :Cocaine Legal Fund… to fight federal, state, and local governments in court who try to infringe on our constitutional right to freedom of speech” and issued a further message for critics “who are too stupid to recognize the obvious.” “This product does not contain the drug cocaine (duh),” said Redux. “This product is not intended to be an alternative to an illicit street drug, and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.”
