Sparks Plus - tastes more "chemicaly" than the orange Sparks. (but is 7% instead of 6%)
I'm actually drinking one right now.

wow - who ever knew that you could put liquid schitt in a can, dye it orange, add alcohol, and sell it under the name SPARKS? Whoever took charge and started Sparks is smarter than the guy who invented the pet rock.

Plus Sparks gets you hyphy.
It does keep me up really well in a way that Red Bull doesn't. Probably because of the hyphy quotient.

no, hyphy juice gets you hyphy.
fwiw colt 45 + sparks isnt quite as bad as it sounds, though pretty close. i always thought sparks tasted like shock tarts.

that's lame that sparks backed out, i don't think they realize that they're pissing in their only reliable customer pool.
from now on i'll be drinking vodka and wheat grass. it's called a lawnmower, and i got the idea where i get all my great ideas. the simpsons.
