Lol yeah man it was all about the plus. I used to do the same thing, "you guys gotta start getting more of the black cans! Nobody wants those shitty regular ones, why do you think they're never sold out?"
That and the regular orange ones tasted so much sweeter that I couldn't drink more than 1 without churning my stomach. Those orange cans were also the only substance on the earth to this day that has ever given me heartburn. But yeah, sadly enough it is no more. Idk if it is country-wide or just a couple of states around here, but the media flipped out about the whole 4loko thing and they made it illegal to sell alcoholic energy type drinks. They still have sparks but now it's just a sweet fruity malt beverage with zero caffeine. Long gone are the days of liquid crack.
Man that shit would always fuel me into the most ridiculous situations because I'd get wasted but also feel super awake so huge adventures would take place, fights would get started, windows would get punched out, things would get 'borrowed', spontaneous multi-state roadtrips, and many illegal activities that I don't think I should post. Fuckin, balls of steel every time.
Just sucks havin to pick up a red bull if I'm tired when I can just drink a tall can that does the same thing AND makes me more drunk.
Maybe it is for the best they don't make it anymore...
