Going through Four Loko withdrawal? You may only be able to find the stuff in select East Village delis, but now eBay is offering the equivalent of a Four Loko nicotine patch to ease your shakes. Behold, the Four Loko cover sleeve! Just slip it on any 24 oz. canned beverage for that instant Four Loko look and feel. One seller advertises, "Piss your teachers off. Drink it at the skate park. Drink it at the mall. Show this off to people and become the popular funny person, or don't reveal the secret so everyone just thinks you're bad."
The Four Loko offerings on eBay range from earrings to t-shirts to, well, actual Four Loko. And that's pissing off state Sen. Jeff Klein. You see, he's already made Craigslist pull any ads for the banned beverage, and said, "Their decision to remove ads for these dangerous drinks goes a long way in helping save our teens from potentially devastating consequences to their health and their lives." But eBay has yet to respond to his letter asking them to remove any Four Loko listings.
eBay told the Daily News, "eBay doesn't allow the sale of alcoholic beverages on its U.S. website, with very few exceptions. Listings of unopened containers of caffeinated alcoholic beverages are not allowed on eBay's site." However, we found at least two listings like this on the site.
Like eBay, Craigslist said selling alcoholic beverages on its site is prohibited, but that it's not responsible for "third-party" content. The listings will most likely get taken down soon, but until then you can buy it now for $3.99! (Plus $4.50 expedited shipping from Ohio.)
