SF List: Hottub Video Features Dolores Park, Four Loko, Girls Rapping (and Mochipet!)

Delightful, Oakland-based girl group Hottub penned an ode to horrific caffiene-booze concoction Four Loko, appropriately titled 4 Lokos Only. In this Mochipet remix video, the thirsty ladies croon about wanting their Four Loko while dancing in Dolores Park and riding in a luxury vehicle. Fun!

WASHINGTON — The manufacturer of popular caffeinated alcohol drink Four Loko said Tuesday it will remove the caffeine from its products, pulling the blend off the market just as the Food and Drug Administration is poised to ban it.

Phusion Projects said in a statement posted on its website that the company will remove caffeine and two other ingredients from its products going forward.

The announcement came as the FDA is expected to find as early as Wednesday that caffeine is an unsafe food additive to alcoholic drinks. That finding essentially would ban Four Loko and other drinks like it.

The FDA ruling “should be the nail in the coffin of these dangerous and toxic drinks,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, who has pushed the Obama administration to ban the beverages, said Tuesday.

Federal regulators would not confirm Schumer’s announcement that a ban was imminent, but Four Loko’s statement suggests the company believed it had little choice but to reformulate its drinks.
