Strawberries and coconut, both flavors have a recognizable place in the world of candy, popsicles, and frozen drinks. Now, cocaine can be added to the list of fruity-flavored products.

According to The Sacramento Bee, narcotics agents in Yolo County, Calif. arrested six people after confiscating three pounds of strawberry and coconut-flavored cocaine.

Roy Giorgi, commander of the Yolo Narcotic Enforcement Team, told the Bee even though cocaine is snorted through the nostrils, it can still be tasted. "They said regular cocaine gives a medicine taste in the back of the throat when snorted," Giorgi said. "With the flavored, you get a strawberry taste."

Drug enforcement agents see this as a marketing tool to lure younger customers. In May, police officers in Arkansas found methamphetamine mixed with a strawberry-flavored powder, and sold under the same name "Strawberry Quick."

Another marketing strategy is to lace candy with flavors such as marijuana, as one California man did. He sold the product under names like Stoney Rancher, Rasta Reese's and Keef Kat. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Hershey Co. sued the man in May for trademark infringement while he serves a jail sentence for making the drug-flavored candies.

This is the best yet worst news an addict like me can hear. Out of coincidence where am I going two weeks from now? A going-away/birthday party for an old friend in YOLO COUNTY CALIFORNIA

I absolutely loved the processed coconut and strawberry flavors though. I really need to try these and see how they stack.

Could've sworn that read as YAYO COUNTY, CA.

Artificial fruit flavor? Bleh. Sounds vile like an after-taste of some stripper's old Victoria Secret bodyspray. Or at least more ways to disguise how shitty the coke is.

I don't know the first thing about coke, but it seems to me that the fact that no one's ever done this before is proof that the Escobars and the other drug barons aren't the astute businessmen the media makes them out to be.

shit, i wish they'd make nestle quik that tasted like blow. but then again, i'm fucked in the head.
