NEW YORK - R.I.P. SPARKS

Goodbye gnarly orange mouth. Goodbye raging drunk till past dawn. Goodbye pleathered insides. Goodbye being poor and sneaking drinks into bars. Goodbye straws and brown paper bags and tickets for drinking in public. Sparks has decided to quit manufacturing and marketing its potent brew to 13 states and all of San Francisco and voluntarily change its formula to remove the caffeine-herbal boost that inspires many episodes that lead to a next-day Myspace/Facebook photo change. Sure, coke dealers must be ecstatic right now but we're pretty bummed. It just won't be the same crushing up Adderall and Flintstones vitamins in a 40 and adding orange Fanta. Goodbye Sparks, goodbye.
