    Geez!!! What a shame! It takes the government to finally get you to recognize the lethality of a beverage that is marketed to your age group so specifically that you can't see the greed and opportunism of a manufacturer taking advantage of a generation of suckers! You can't get your life out of a bottle, can, paper tube, from a powder or any substance that alters your reality! What happened to discernment? Where did judgement go? What happened to living in reality? Satisfaction (the greatest of all emotions/feelings) comes from contributing, in one form or another, to the world in which we live. The pleasure of "getting", "taking" and "having" never lasts as does "giving". I'm double your age and then some so I'm sure experience and maturity has something to do with my opinion. I always thought that orange was a warning.

    There it is again, We the people cannot decide for ourselfs. Only the great liberal politicians can make decisions for us.
    Socialists!! Only more stupid decisions to come in 2009 when the President and the Socialist house run by Pelosi and Reed take control.

    I BELIEVE IT ONLY TAKES A FEW PEOPLE TO RUIN IT FOR THE REST I ALSO HAVE SEEN WHAT PEOPLE DO WITH THIS DRINK IT AMPS THEM UP AND SOME EVEN GET DRUNK AND THEY THEN BECOME ABUSERS OF THE DRINK IT CAN BE DAMAGING TO LIVES AND THE HEALTH OF INDIVIVDUALS AS ANY ALCOHOLIC DRINK I'M NOT SORRY TO SEE IT GO BUT I SEE BOTH SIDES.

    If red bull and vodka doesn't do it for you, you need a new hobby...or a life. Maybe you should look into why you don't sleep well on Thursday nights instead of combining drugs on Friday....just a thought.

    For crying out loud, laddies, Irish coffee does the same thing!

    Maybe now this writer can focus his attention on the English language. The plural of Attorney General is Attorneys General. The "General" is an adjective, drunkie.

    "Puh-leez....you stinky men need to lay off the Liquid-backbone (aka SPARKS) so you can go to bed at your normal bed time. Instead, you're out dancing around the fire or yelling at your Wii with your fellow SPARK-ians then come to bed and poke us in the back while you claim you want to Spoon. I say 'Good ridance.'"

    --Shut up.

    (all of the above article)

    Also shut up.

    Don't worry!!
    There is hope and it come in the form of JOOSE. I recommend the cranberry and the orange flavors and to stay away from the purple dragon (it even sounds like it will give you hell the next day)

    ps--Four (more commonly known as four loco) is not worth the 10% alcohol in any situation!

    NOOOOO!!!!!
    I feel the "Batterie's" running low already,, Now, How am I supposed to Jump-Start my car?

    First of all the drink called "four" is actually called four loco and it is absolutly awful...however in my recent adventures to the convience store, I've stumbled upon the a drink like sparks but that is oh so much better. It is called JOOSE and while it has couple flavors that are not worth the energy and alcohol combo, there are other flavors that are quite delicious (cranberry and orange...yummy!). And there just as much if not more alcohol than sparks (a win-win situation!)

    I once stumbled upon a beverage that I believe was called Four. It's basically the same thing, but has 10% alcohol and tastes better than Sparks, although it only comes in grape and the purple mouth is worse than the orange. I also quickly discovered how easy it is to over-do it with a delicious beverage that's 10% alcohol.
    On another note, drinking Sparks in class? Wow that's stupid!

    It's the same feeling I got when Princess Diana died, except that I didn't regularly wipe her smooth sweetness off of the corners of my mouth. "It's the end of an era. Like when that wall was torn down after that one war happened a while ago", reported one area man. In life as well as death we salute you captain sparks, and as in Greek legends may we one day sail your seas again. Nick Belletti- Advanced Alcohol Researcher

    Perhaps some company unwilling to kowtow to the babysitter culture of amerika will step to the forefront with a similar product. Because JOOSE is just nasty.
