Just tried my first 4loko…. all I can ask is “Why??”

I’m not a rlly heavy drinker, I usually just go for cocktails or beers, but somebody just gave me a free 4loko, and I’ll never turn down a free drink. But taking the first sip prompted me to open this app and make a post about just how disgusting this beverage is. It isn’t even trying to mask the alcohol taste, it’s just straight up alcohol. Like, I could make a cocktail half this volume and just as much alcohol, and have it taste like 5x better. Who the fuck is paying good money for this?
