Kelloggs name cereal after street drug.
 

Cereal named after drug

Bosses at Kelloggs have named a breakfast cereal after a slang expression for cocaine.

Coco Rocks were launched earlier this year reports The Sun.

Bosses were said to be embarrassed after discovering the term is already a street word for dark-brown crack cocaine, made by adding chocolate pudding during its production.

A spokesperson for Charity Drugscope said: "You'd think firms like Kellogg's would have teams of people checking new brand names.

"Coco rocks means brown crack made by adding chocolate pud. God knows why anyone would want to do that, but they do."

Bosses are deciding whether to rebrand the cereal.

A spokeswoman said: "We gave it that name as it contains rock-shaped pillows filled with chocolate."

dont they have one called special K also?

That's what I was thinking, but I believe that there, the name of the drug followed the cereal, not the other way around.

Indeed they do :)

At least we know what the execs at Kelloggs are smokin' :)

Didn't they also have "Smacks" at some point. I distinctly remember Smacks with a frog on the box.

Special K's been around since I was a kid. Don't think ketamine has, though.

I always knew there was something wrong with that fucking tiger

I smoke rocks Joe Rogan :pimp

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Sugar Smacks..i got a wad of those stuck in my hair as a kid..lol

Coco Rocks actually rule. I tried them.

What a lame name anyway. Coco Rocks... lol

ketamine rocks, but its to early to do ketamine at breakfast

it seems like the marketing departments for the drug game tend to focus on the children.

i guess Rohypneeos is out.

The cereal, I trust.
