Four Loko Makes Everything Turbo.

Did you ever wonder what happened to those tens of thousands of cans of Four Loko that were pulled from the shelves last month?

Well, according to The Associated Press, they are now being recycled into ethanol and other products…did you hear me folks…ETHANOL.

After federal authorities told manufacturers the beverages were dangerous and caused users to become “wide-awake drunk.”Wholesalers from Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and other East Coast states started sending cases of the high-alcohol, caffeinated malt beverages to MXI Environmental Services in Virginia after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a crackdown on the sale of such beverages in November.

Brian Potter, vice president of operations at MXI’s facility in Abingdon, Va., said about a couple of hundred truckloads of the drinks would be coming to the plant. Each truck holds 2,000 cases of the 23.5-ounce cans.
