We suffered a heavy loss last month when caffeinated, alco-sugary backwash Four Loko was taken off the shelves after a ban on all alcohol-caffeinated drinks. But what happened to the last of the Loko supply? In a loathsome turn of events, it's currently being recycled into ethanol and other non-blackout-inducing products. Which means Four Loko will now be powering our cars!
According to Brian Potter, vice president of operations at MXI Environmental Services, a couple of hundred truckloads of the drinks would be coming to the plant, and each truck holds 2,000 cases of the 23.5-ounce cans. With more than 30 alco-caffeinated drinks being thrown on the pyre, it will take months to ethanolize them all. We're just counting the days till we hear about a holdup of one of those trucks by a pair of bandanna-adorned Chillwave enthusiasts.
