Oh I remember this stuff. It was one of those “we definitely don’t market it to teens, nope” things, and everyone in school drank them.

Four Loko
one can
false advertising 😔
It's one can with 4 crazies in it.
They really don't taste the same anymore either
I stopped drinking them. They were only good for a cheap buzz, and the next day wasn't worth it.
That's because they used to only be, at most, 6% alcohol. They've steadily gone up since the law forced removal of the caffeine and I've seen them as high as 25% abv.
They can stop Four Loko from selling pre-mixed alcohol and energy drinks, but they can't stop me from drinking vodka and Red Bull. :P
I'll occasionally dump a 5-Hour Energy in my Four Loko. Really gets the blood pumping
I was a Sparks guy myself.
