FDA: “Blow” energy drink glorifies drug use
Fox NewsPosted: March 2nd, 2008 by Steve Trinward
“The Food and Drug Administration is threatening to take legal action against the energy drink mix ‘Blow,’ if they don’t clean up their image, it is being reported by ABC News. The FDA said Blow is glorifying drug use. In fact, the product’s Web site sells underwear and tee-shirts that say ‘I love Blow.’ Blow is a common street name for cocaine. The energy drink mix is also sold in vials, much like the recreation drug. The FDA wrote a letter to the makers of Blow and said the drink mix itself is an unapproved drug, ‘intended to affect the structure or function of the body.’ The letter also said Blow does not have a ‘FDA-approved application that legalizes its sale.’” [editor’s note: Yet anothyer example of what a Food and Drug Admin should NOT be concerned with, esp. since their other “mandate” seems to be “glorifying” the use of “approved” substances - SAT] (02/29/08)
