Whoa. You're going too far there Jack. I mean if Hubers gets a pdc loan then fine have at 'em. But really, We should be protecting our local treasures.

Wikipedia provides some clues:
In its US market, Phusion Projects added a 23.5oz (695ml) beverage named Four Loko to its Four product line subsequent to the launch of Four Maxed. Four Loko contains 12.0% ABV. It is available in nine flavors: the three original flavors (fruit punch, orange blend and grape), plus watermelon, blue raspberry, kiwi strawberry, lemonade, cranberry lemonade and lemon lime. Watermelon Four Loko also contains FD&C Red #40.[3] In 2009, Four Loko ranked fourth in sales growth among alcoholic beverages at 7-Eleven stores nationwide. A can of Four costs approximately $2.50, but can cost as little as $1.99 in some areas.[3]

good product placement
Man, I haven't been in Huber's in 15 years or more. But I hope they note the referral to their site and offer me a ham-turkey sandwich capped off with a Spanish.

The reason these drinks were marketed is BECAUSE their was a market. Mixing Vodka and "Rockstar" has been a popular drink for years. They just put it in a can. Lets just do prohibition again and let the mexican maffia take over
