Sex sells anything, especially in a city known for its sinful nature. Take the billboards lining the I-15 or the city’s various Pleasure Pits, where eye candy accompanies a round of blackjack. We’re soon to open a sexed-up shooting range.

The buck doesn’t stop at scantily clad females though, as Las Vegas-based Erotic Beverages is now using a very sexy gimmick to sell its two new products: “Big Cock” and “Little Pussie” energy drinks. Yes, you read that correctly.

“For 10 people that love the name, there’s two people that don’t. It’s controversial, it’s borderline,” states Erotic Beverages President Gary Gottlieb.

The beverage names are playful puns, the Big Cock container featuring a rooster with ripped abs, Little Pussie depicting a busty feline in a red bikini top.

As for the products themselves, Little Pussie is passion fruit-flavored and Big Cock tastes like cola. The products can currently be found at Mr. D’s Sports Bar & Grill and various locations of Mr. Bill’s Pipe & Tobacco Co. Cases are also available on the company’s website, eroticbeverages.com.

Gottlieb did concede that a separate line of products with name alterations (Big Cock-A-Doodle-Do and Little Pussie Cat) are in the works, as a few potential retail distributors have expressed interest in items with more modest monikers.

But what’s the point of that? The whole idea of a “dirty” energy drink is that it lends itself to some good, clean fun. Case in point: After tasting a Big Cock myself, I handed the open can to a coworker. She accidentally spilled some on her dress, and we all learned a valuable lesson: In certain situations, Monica Lewinsky jokes will never grow old.
