"Merchant of Cardiac Arrest" is more like it.

What is this ambrosia?

The original Four Loco was a variety of caffeinated fruit sodas with high amount of alcohol snuck in.

You'd party until you fell down. I think they banned 'em in ~2009 or so.

Closest thing I've seen since is the Japanese chuhai, but even those don't mix in caffeine because (as discovered with Four Loco) that will actually kill you.

Real Four Loco is older than Donna? Now I feel old -_-

lirvilas 26th Jul 2020, 4:46 PM edit delete reply

Eh, Four Loco (the original) isn't older than Donna and Naomi, they were just too young to get many chances to drink it even as underagers.

Dr. Ashton on the other hand is mid 40s, she probably discovered Loco while she was getting her second doctorate.

(Her passion for caffeine is going to open a can of worms, no surprise there.)

Pfffft, I would prefer something stronger, like a good old Lethe Absinth, spank me.

lirvilas 26th Jul 2020, 4:51 PM edit delete reply

I'd hope so! Four Loco is distinctly sophomoric.

Yes, flokatihead liquor, fake-fake, too.

ha ha ha ha I love how y'all overlook the scientific heavy lifting and fearless adventuring and zero in on "she likes soda blended with Everclear" as proof of your biases

Ariane Eldar 26th Jul 2020, 4:58 PM edit delete reply

Pfffft, I would tell her if I ever meet her face to face!

Ariane Eldar 27th Jul 2020, 2:04 AM edit delete reply

PS: Now I have at least a name that I can refer her to that sounds less forgetable. "Dr. Soda-Neverclear".

Oh, dear Hades, NO!
I have had exactly 3 swallows of Four Loko in my life and I regret each one individually!

I hear you... a significant fraction of of my blackout drunk episodes in Ballard started with a couple cans of that sauce.

Merchant of Death? I agree, Naomi - you are certainly no Alfred Nobel...
(Just imagine her quoting Oppenheimer though: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds...")

Also it's of course interesting that there is an age difference between Maggie and Donna (& Naomi) that is significant enough for a generational gap...

lirvilas 27th Jul 2020, 11:28 PM edit delete reply

Naomi will come around!

Having just traversed the decade Donna and Naomi are about to go through, I'm definitely closer to Maggie's perspective on priorities.

Original four loco? o_O Vat is dat!?

I love the glow of Maggie's glasses as she's coming through the fence :)

lirvilas 11th Nov 2020, 7:55 PM edit delete reply

you can read this article, but really it's just booze + caffeine

I got into trouble multiple times because of this stuff

BlueDragon 12th Nov 2020, 9:49 PM edit delete reply

Phew! That sounds hard core. I can't do energy drinks...I just know they'd kick my ass.
