Special Report: Love potion

The makers of a new drink called "Turn-On" claim they've created a passionate potion of love.

Howard Hersch, Turn-On president
"The effect that you get from all this is an increase sexual energy and desire."

The drink tastes like cherry soda. It's made from so-called erotic herbs and aphrodisiacs from all over the world.

Howard Hersch, Turn-On president
"Just putting these ingredients in the product won’t do it by themselves but when we combine it in such a unique way, it’s a very effective and wonderful love drink."

We asked two couples - Saad and Vicky and Nick and Yelena - to see if this passion punch would put them in the mood.

Vicky
"I'm very excited about trying this drink."

Nick
"I'm always up for new things and I know Yelena is always right there too."

The makers claim the vibe kicks in in minutes, lasts for hours, and is completely safe.

Howard Hersch, Turn-On president
"The ingredients in this product and the amounts on each ingredient meet all the guidelines of the FDA."

And sexologists say they don't have a problem with it.

Dr. Marilyn Volker, Sexologist
"Some people would respond by the fact they are allowing themselves to think they are turned on."

As for our couples, the reaction was mixed. For Saad and Vicky, love was in the air.

Vicky
"For him, it was more touching. For me, it was more happy. I just wanted to laugh and jump."

While for Nick and Yelena, the drink fell flat.

Yelena
"I really liked the flavor, on ice it’s awesome. But as far as energy, I don’t think anything could have kept me up last night."

The makers admit the drink may not work for everyone, but when it does work, they say... It can pack a passion punch.
