Thirsty for more?

Yes, two posts in one day.

Thank you, Brett (who's actually at an energy drink world summit as I type this and may not know of this article's existence), for informing me of this new beverage. Illegals probably shouldn't be crossing the border with a drink called Cocaine anyway.

Move Over Cocaine, GreenCard Latest Controversial Drink in Energy Category
NEW YORK, N.Y. -- As the energy drink category expands to the point where every new offering apparently needs an even more controversial stance than its predecessor, one new energy beverage is looking to target an illegal market -- migrant Hispanics illegally crossing the border to the U.S.

GreenCard Energy Drink, made by Z CORP, markets its energy beverage to illegal immigrants on their way to the U.S. It claims that it will give energy to those looking to cross the border and potentially outrun U.S. Border Patrol.

"It's a fact," that people illegally cross the border, president and CEO of Z CORP, Jeff Weiss, told CSNews Online. "If they are going to come to the U.S., I don't want them dying in the desert, I'd rather have them hydrated."
