FDA determines fate of popular Four Loko drink(reformuation, not ban)
Quote:
Letters from the FDA to Phusion Projects, the maker of Four Loko, and the makers of other caffeinated alcoholic beverages told producers they have 15 days to remove caffeine from recipes or stop selling the drinks all together.

To be honest, it sucks that they would ban these. These drinks are great for people on a budget, yet still want to get *** up with friends.
I have started a few nights with one of these (Watermelon tastes gewd) to get a good buzz going, then just take it slow the rest of the night.

They're not being banned. They are being recalled and will likely be reformulated. People really should start reading the thread before they believe the OP's ***.

You are completely crazy. How is the title inaccurate at all? The FDA is spending its time and resources to actively coerce 4 companies to stop selling their products.

How is it incorrect to call that "banning" their products.

From the article:

"In letters to four companies, the Food and Drug Administration said it had concluded that adding caffeine to alcohol created "adulterated" products that were unsafe and illegal. If the companies do not take action within 15 days, the FDA could begin seizing the products or seek a court order barring companies from continuing to sell the products."

In other words "stop selling your products or we will seize them"

I love when Zandra is right.
Dern Liberals banned 4loko!
Oh wait...nvm.
