Could Liquorcaine be next? Slippery slope indeed.

12/18/2008 12:14:26 PM

i'm glad people are out there legislating this kind of shit

12/18/2008 12:15:24 PM

I don't think there was any legislation, was there?

Please don't be so stupid. The freedom to buy chemicals for human consumption in no way (not even close,) equates to freedom to buy "noxious agents" and negligently pollute the environment with them. Nice fail.

Um, hello people, were obviously talking about beverages here.... Get a fucking clue.

Now, that would be ok.

^^oh, well maybe not


but still, this is silly, and i don't even like sparks

12/18/2008 12:59:17 PM

1. bitch about it being discontinued
2. Buy up the supply of Sparks in the area
3. Sell to everyone 6 months after it can't be found
4. ...
5. Profit.

12/18/2008 1:01:04 PM

unless you can sell it for like 20 bucks a can, you'd be better off just getting some coke in 6 months

12/18/2008 1:05:30 PM

because it's too hard to drink alcoholic and caffeinated beverages from seperate containers, simultaneously.

12/18/2008 1:10:18 PM

well that fucking blows

12/18/2008 1:12:31 PM

Good night, sweet prince.

12/18/2008 1:22:27 PM

Not Sparks..?

It was cheaper than red bull and it contained alcohol. It was the best of both worlds.

12/18/2008 1:27:53 PM

Haha.

My friend in med school drinks one of these after every test. There goes that ritual.

12/18/2008 1:46:25 PM

i'm surprised people care

Does this mean the end of Buzz Beer, too?

12/18/2008 2:10:54 PM

I've never had it but I think I may go purchase one on the way home tonight.

12/18/2008 2:11:40 PM

I never tried it. I don't really do energy drinks anyway, so no loss for me. I'm sure my friend who practically lives on energy drinks will be though

12/18/2008 2:15:33 PM

i used to love sparks. right when i turned 21.

now just looking at the can gives me heartburn

12/18/2008 2:31:47 PM

sooooo


is irish coffee next


oh wait this is all about marketing like the joe camel thing

12/18/2008 2:32:37 PM

never liked them

but the idea of any alcoholic drink, esp a relatively low alcohol content one, being taken off shelves for any legal reason is absolutely fucking absurd.

12/18/2008 2:33:14 PM

i have adhd and would pound a couple of them before kickball games (caffeine helps adhd)


i kick a home run and by the time i got to second base i thought i was going to have a heart attack.

took me 20 minutes to recover

12/18/2008 2:45:22 PM

ALCOHOL CAN'T BE YOUTHFUL!

it's the law

12/18/2008 3:34:41 PM

It's so coke and bud can make epic sales together.

12/18/2008 3:36:11 PM

Now what will I brown-bag on the subway late at night

12/18/2008 3:37:04 PM

Your girlfriend's head.

12/18/2008 3:38:10 PM

I thought this thread was about the Sports bar in Apex.

12/18/2008 3:39:13 PM

now I'll have to find a new breakfast drink

12/18/2008 3:55:04 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

seriously miller should be pissed they're gonna lose a lot of money

12/18/2008 4:56:06 PM

They are closed due to a fire.

"And unfortunately this will probably happen to the other similar brands currently offered."

I think some company will take a stand and refuse to discontinue these brands.

You know why?

If all the other alcoholic energy drinks are discontinued, and one remains

Whoever is in possession of that single, remaining beverage stands to make a HUGE profit.

Have faith in capitalism people.

12/18/2008 5:40:08 PM

Capitalism doesn't stand a chance when the government keeps pushing stupid-ass regulations like this

12/18/2008 5:43:37 PM

Please tell me this doesn't apply to Coffee/Espresso stouts, etc!!!!

12/18/2008 5:46:09 PM

I like Tilt better

tastes like mt dew to me

but i will be sad that sparks is being pulled.

12/18/2008 5:50:08 PM

^get your Tilt while you can.

Quote :

"i'm surprised people care"

Yeah seriously, nobody should care that the Government is stepping in to decide that we're too irresponsible to handle it ourselves.

12/18/2008 8:27:46 PM

good.. It will make my "DRINK SPARKS" talking can I got at the beer fest a few years ago a collectors item

12/18/2008 8:28:44 PM

that reminds me, what ever happend to that B E shit that bud had out for a while? did they pull that too?

12/18/2008 8:34:36 PM

Yeah, I think that's the other product being mentioned in the article I linked.

12/18/2008 8:35:23 PM

lets just ban anything that might be remotely dangerous. That will help everybody!!

12/18/2008 8:39:48 PM

whatever, you'll all just have to go back to cocaine.

12/18/2008 9:13:32 PM

next they'll outlaw jagerbombs. and then the rioting will start.

12/18/2008 9:37:21 PM

well

for the time being, you guys can come down to The Galaxy and buy one
