There was one whacked caffeine/alcohol concoction made in the USA that was banned "Four Loco"…sounded like quite a "headache in a can" if you ask me.
I wonder what those 11 items were and what the reasons were for banning them. Some might be because of fecal contamination of water used for irrigation or unacceptable pesticide levels etc..

I'm not familiar with the drink you mentioned.
