for "contemporary adult consumers” who it says are “looking for innovative alcohol beverages to match their active lifestyles.”

 

Spykes, made by Anheuser-Busch, is a malt beverage with 12 percent alcohol content — about the same as wine. It comes in mango, lime, melon and chocolate flavors and is infused with caffeine as well as the herbs ginseng and guarana. Sold in 2-ounce bottles that go for 75 cents to a dollar apiece.

 

sounds like a great beveridge for the crag or the alpine, in convenient nail polish sized portions.

"innovative alcohol beverage" = "tastes nasty and will be off the market in 3 months"

"active lifestyle" = "gym stalking and pub crawling"

Sounds like a nice little mixer for that next free triple shot from the generous barista who sent you to the hospital.

Damn between Spykes and Sparks a guy could get confused. Maybe they should make one called Spokes too, for Dave Schuldt.
