This is what America has become?

While browsing the internet, otherwise known as procrastinating, I came across the most absurd thing that I have possibly ever seen. An energy drink mix titled "Blow". If you are above the age of 15, I assume you realize that the term "Blow" is used as an alternative name for cocaine. So it struck me at first when I saw the name of this product, knowing that it came in powder form and that it was white (hmm, sort of like um.. cocaine?). At first I thought maybe it was a joke, or some type of viral marketing for some other product, or even an ant-drug campaign. But I was wrong... this is a legitimate product. Browsing the site, I became even more furious with the product descriptions and labels. You can purchase the "Blow" in 4 different amounts:

1. "12 Vial Brick-
Awesome deal!" (See picture 1)

2. "2 Pack Box Set-
The Stash Box Sampler Pack" (Picture 2)

3. "Collectors Case-
The Recreational User Pack" (Picture 3)

4. "Master Case: BEST VALUE-
The Fiender's Hook-Up" (Picture 4)

Are you kidding me? Candy cigarettes are one thing, but now people are creating and pushing "Blow" (no pun intended haha), a legitimate imitation of an illegal drug which offers intense addiction? I'm really at a loss of words, it's almost comical. The fact that something like this is okay... it just disgusts me.

Something needs to be done about this. Any ideas? Or am I overreacting?

Bushman I'm afraid nothing can be done. energy drinks are legal, name (intended or not) can mean lots of things, you can buy even milk in white powder form, anyway, they got money so they can afford good lawyers... unless it's just a cover of a real drug store ;) ;) ;)

brendanlowry I don't think it's even debatable whether or not the name is intended... it is definitely intended. The name is blow, and it's sold in bricks and vials, and the one pack is for "fiends". There has to be something that can be done to get rid of something like this.
