Sparks. I only had the "real" Sparks once. The black kind, I think? Wait. That's a lie! I had the orange one too. I think. Lord, alcohol has robbed my memory. Anyway. The "new" Sparks, the faux Sparks, the energydrinkless Sparks- is... not as bad. But not good, either. The black one is, eh. Drinkable. 7% is a decent kick, served ice cold, and you're less likely to get looked at funny by cops if you're out in public.

I much prefer a good, strong, craft brew, or a dry red wine, or vodka. But, hey. Today seemed a good day for the Sparks sitting in my fridge, lonely and sad looking. So, here's to memories. Here's to endings. Here's to beginnings. Here's to not very tasty alcoholic beverages- cheers.
