That's because the blue Sparks is sugar free - it's not as sweet, and it's made with sucralose so it has that awesome Splenda aftertaste.

Chicagoist has a saying among friends, "no good night ever started with Sparks." No, but plenty of great ones have ended with it.

Try Sparks in a blue can. It's not as sugary, though it somehow manages to be even more artificial tasting.

After last year's intonation fest, I was so amped up on that crap that I thought I was going to throw a cinder block through a window. Ha, yeah I thought of that immediately too, my first and only experience with Sparks after the regular free beer run out. The stuff was like carbonated cough syrup. I won't complain about the drunk though, I felt pretty good.

Sparks is so sugary, I could never get down enough to get drunk. But I think I might have to try again! Tequila doesn't bring the crazy like it used to.

Borrowing (and slightly altering) a quote from the late Rick James, "[Sparks] is a hell of a drug." Nothing like being beligernetly drunk and WIDE awake. After last year's intonation fest, I was so amped up on that crap that I thought I was going to throw a cinder block through a window.
