Thread Box:
sparks is being taken off the market

does this mean the end of crank mob?

ATTORNEY GENERAL CUOMO ANNOUNCES MILLERCOORS TO STOP BREWING ALCOHOLIC
ENERGY DRINKS

MillerCoors Will Pull Popular “Sparks” Drinks Off New York Shelves

Cuomo Calls on Other Manufacturers to Stop Production of these
Dangerous Products

New York, NY (December 18, 2008)–Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo
today joined Attorneys General from 13 other jurisdictions in
announcing an agreement reached with MillerCoors that will result in the
nationwide discontinuance of the best-selling, pre-mixed alcoholic
energy drink, Sparks. As part of the agreement, MillerCoors has also
agreed not to produce any caffeinated alcohol beverages in the future.
Today’s agreement comes after months of negotiations between Attorney
General Cuomo’s Office and MillerCoors, where Cuomo urged the
manufacturer to pull these dangerous drinks off New York shelves and
stop aggressively marketing the alcoholic beverage to a young audience.

“Drinks like Sparks encourage the polar opposite of responsible
drinking habits,” said Attorney General Cuomo. “Besides being
aggressively marketed to a younger crowd, they are fundamentally
dangerous and put drinkers of all ages at risk. Today’s agreement will
ensure that from here on out, these drinks are kept off New York shelves
and away from New York consumers.”

In early 2008, published research about the dangers of alcoholic energy
drinks and concerns about the way the products were being marketed, led
Attorney General Cuomo and several other Attorneys General across the
country to initiate an investigation into the safety and marketing of
MillerCoors Sparks brand products, which include Sparks Original, Sparks
Light, Sparks Plus and an unreleased higher alcohol product called
Sparks Red.

Attorney General Cuomo issued an investigative subpoena to MillerCoors
in early January pursuant to New York’s consumer protection statutes.
The investigation focused on false and misleading health-related
statements about the energizing effects of Sparks brand products and on
allegations that MillerCoors was marketing the products to an underage
audience.

In addition to providing that MillerCoors will eliminate caffeine and
other stimulants from its Sparks brand products, the settlement
announced today addresses concerns about the marketing of Sparks.
MillerCoors has agreed to stop using images in its marketing that imply
energy or power, like the battery-themed +/- symbols on the can.
MillerCoors has also agreed to cease particular marketing themes that
appeal to underage youth, eliminating advertisements that feature a
bright orange-stained tongue and not renewing its contract with William
Ocean, an air guitar champion who does a back flip onto an opened can of
Sparks at all of his shows. MillerCoors will also immediately
discontinue the Sparks website.

A recently published Wake Forest University study found that college
students who mix alcohol and energy drinks were more likely to be hurt,
sexually assaulted or drive drunk than those who only drank alcohol.

In May, Attorney General Cuomo announced that Anheuser-Busch would stop
producing alcoholic energy drinks, including Tilt and Bud Extra. With
the elimination of Sparks from the market, nearly 85% of all alcoholic
energy drinks that were available at the start of this year will be
eliminated from the market. Attorney General Cuomo is continuing to
work with other jurisdictions to investigate alcoholic energy drinks
manufactured by other companies.

The investigation and settlement were handled by Assistant Attorney
General Melvin Goldberg under the supervision of Consumer Frauds and
Protection Bureau Chief Joy Feigenbaum.

You can mix that shit yourself. Malt-liquor and an energy. It's nothing new.

I think it's a STUPID thing to outlaw it. Sparks (and joose, etc.) are just convenient and banning something for being convenient doesn't solve anything. Anyone with a brain can figure that out. All it does thwart the lazy and stupid. I think that's insulting.

It's a waste of tax-payer money, period.

I drank a bunch of redbull and vodka at my 30th birthday.
After a stupid LA weekly column pronouncing the combo was like a "legal ecstasy"
About 3 am I was sick and shivering and couldn't sleep.

That pretty much but the brakes on.
The only time I tried the sparks was at heavy metal ride 2, somehow there was a big tub of free sparks in there.

This is really dumb ... not that I care one way or the other.
But I can tell you this.

Unless somebody died from this shit, the only reason they are taking it off the shelves is that it either wasn't selling well or Miller traded some future political good will Cuomo in exchange for a line on his resume.

Companies don't kill money makers unless they have an excellent reason or unless somebody puts a gun to their head.

I still don't quite understand how anyone bought Sparks to begin with. The taste is an exact reflection of how it makes you feel. Namely, like craaaaaaaaaaap.

Oh shit we could fill up 20 pages with all the horrible alcoholc beverages that should be excommunicated from existence.

Personally there is enough good beer, wine, tequilla and scotch to keep my busy for a lifetime.

And of course if one is feelin' fancy you can always pour some good vodka into just about any tasty drink and make it a cocktail.
