Calif. company sells Sheen-inspired drink

SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 8 (UPI) -- Inspired by a Charlie Sheen rant, U.S. energy drink company Harcos Laboratories Tuesday began selling Tiger Blood, "made of 100 percent passion."

The Santa Monica, Calif., company, founded by a pair of self-described robotics industry geeks in 2007, brought out the limited-edition energy shot "in honor of a certain celebrity outburst." The 3.4-ounce shots, containing 80 mg of caffeine, come in an intravenous bag-style container and sell for $3.99.

The company Web site says the product is "made of 100 percent passion."

Sheen, who was fired from the CBS sit-com "Two-and-a-Half Men" following weeks of erratic behavior, recently proclaimed he has "tiger blood" and "Adonis DNA."
