Looks like Red Bull REALLY does give you wings...so you can flyyyy! Seems that very small traces of cocaine have been found in the oh-so popular mixer drink in Germany, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Now those places, and others like Dubai, are trying to decide whether or not to ban the drink. It seems to stem from the use of coca leaf extract and now health labs are being asked to analyze the ingredients. It's upset quite a few people and some retailers are being asked not to sell Red Bull.

Fritz Soergel, the head of the Institute for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research in Nuremberg, Bavaria says-
"There is no scientific basis for this ban on Red Bull Cola because the levels of cocaine found are so small."

Same thing happened with Coca-Cola which hasn't used coca leaf extract as an ingredient since the early 1900's.
