No, Red Bull the energy drink does not contain cocaine. However, according to the news source, traces of cocaine were found in the cola drink.

Nope, no cocaine in Red Bull.

Cocaine was used in Coca Cola when it first came on the market in 1886. It was used for medicinal purposes and sold over the counter in pharmacies.

With a slogan like, "Red Bull gives you wings," I could see were the rumors would come from but the Food and Drug Administration would never allow for something like that.

It's true. There was a trace amount of cocaine found in some cans of RedBull (.4 micrograms per liter). However, Germany's Federal Institute for Risk Assessment said that it was too low an amount to cause any health risks.
