Every once in a while, a product comes along that is so insanely disgusting, we have no choice but to defend it to the death.

Take Coko Loco, otherwise known as snortable chocolate.

On Saturday, Whinin' Chuck Schumer, who also happens to be a Senator from New York, asked the FDA to step in and regulate the product on the grounds that children probably shouldn't have access to "over-the-counter stimulants."

Whatever, Dad.

Seems like "Narcs" in US government are concerned about potentially damaging ingredients in Legal Lean Co.'s Coko Loco, which reportedly includes a powerful energy drink combination of gingko biloba, taurine and guarana in addition to "raw cacao snuff."

“This suspect product has no clear health value,” Schumer said in a statement. “I can’t think of a single parent who thinks it is a good idea for their children to be snorting over-the-counter stimulants up their noses.”

I, for one, can't imagine how selling $12.50 snortable energy powder -- especially to middle school children, who are in the middle of puberty -- is anything but a very good idea.

And there's no company I'd trust more than one literally named Legal Lean Co., whose founder admitted he didn't consult any medical professionals when designing the product.

As of now, the FDA is currently exploring whether or not they have the authority to regulate the product.

Step away, Narcs! Let us enjoy our overpriced crap in peace!
