The product is again being marketed as Cocaine and contains the warning label: "WARNING: This message is for the people who are too stupid to recognize the obvious. This product does not contain cocaine. This product is not intended to be an alternative to an illicit street drug, and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot."
