So why has this not transpired to the US? Why has Red Bull not come off the shelves here? How are we to know some of that was not imported to the US. Maybe that's why it has such a kick! How many Americans are drinking cocaine and don't know it? It will perpetuate the need for legal anti-depressants and increase incidence of psychosis. We banned the use in Coca Cola products a long time ago. I hope someone that is not owned is investigating this.
