Everything about Spykes totally explained
Spykes was a brand of flavored
malt liquor sold by
Anheuser-Busch in colorful, 2-
ounce bottles. Available flavors included
mango,
lime,
melon and
chocolate, all of which were slightly spicy due to pepper additives. New flavors lacking pepper, focusing on being sweet, included Grape, Peach, Banana, and Blue Raspberry.
Spykes was designed to be mixed with
beer or any
hard liquor drink, but could be taken as a
shot, as well. The product was designed to appeal to young adults and women, groups that often don't favor the taste of beer. Spykes mixed a 12% alcohol content with the
stimulant caffeine, as well as herbs
ginseng and
guarana.
Criticism
Spykes has been targeted by
alcohol industry watchdog groups as being marketed to underage customers. According to some critics, the size, unique flavors, and low price of the drink appeared to be aimed at
teenage customers in rich urban communities. Spykes was recently cancelled after the
TTB found that the labeling of Spykes was Illegal mainly because people were using it for sweet sixteens.
