FAQS

FACT – Four Loko is sold in 48 states. It is available in more states today than it was before the reformulation. All of Phusion’s products, including Four Loko, have received all required federal and state government approvals.

FACT – We work with our distributors to place our responsible drinking materials at the point-of-sale, and we prominently feature these materials on our website: https://phusionprojects.com/responsibility.html

Four Loko can labels feature six different statements in 10 locations regarding the alcohol content and the need for an ID for purchase.  In 2013, if approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, Four Loko can labels will include additional alcohol content information.

Our labels and marketing materials clearly state our message: If you’re 21 or older and choose to drink, please drink responsibly. If you’re under 21, respect the law and don’t drink.

FACT – Four Loko is intended for and appeals to adults of legal drinking age.  Flavored alcoholic beverages with fruity flavors are nothing new. There are many other malt beverages with flavors similar to Phusion’s products (e.g., iced teas and lemonades), as well as fruit flavored spirits (e.g., bubble gum, cake, cherry, grape and whipped cream) and craft beers (e.g., apricot, blueberry and cherry).

FACT – Four Loko’s packaging does not contain any statements or graphics that are deceptive or intended to attract underage consumers. Phusion’s cans are no brighter or more appealing than the blue, red and green can labels of established beer brands, and our cans are the same size as these products, which are very often sold next to Four Loko.

FACT – We work hard to ensure our products are always placed in the alcohol section of the store and we instruct all of our distributors to do the same.

With six different statements in 10 locations regarding the product’s alcohol content and the need for an ID for purchase, Four Loko cans go above and beyond industry labeling standards.

An additional alcohol content label statement will be added in 2013, if approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

FACT – At 23.5 fl. oz., Phusion’s cans are the same size as many other beers and malt beverages and are not the largest package in the industry.

In 2013, Phusion plans to introduce a new, resealable can for some of our flavored malt beverage products, such as our current 23.5 ounce, 12 percent and 8 percent ABV Four Loko.

Our recent introduction of Poco Loko, in 16 ounce cans with 8 percent ABV, gives consumers even more options in how they may choose to enjoy our products.

FACT – Phusion plans to introduce resealable cans in 2013, which will give consumer more flexibility in the way they choose to enjoy our products. Nonetheless, many products with similar alcohol-by-volume (ABV) levels and container sizes, such as craft beers and sparkling wines, cannot be resealed.

FACT – While stronger than some traditional beers, the ABV for Phusion’s products are comparable to or lower than the ABV for many craft beers and wines, and much lower than the typical, 40-percent ABV for spirits. In 2013, if approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, Four Loko can labels will include additional alcohol content information.  The 100 strongest beers available all range from 13% ABV to 41% ABV. Many are available exclusively in larger, 22 fl. oz., non-resealable bottles.

FACT – Four Loko is usually the highest-priced product in its category.

FACT – Equalizing the cost of alcohol products, Four Loko contains less alcohol per dollar than many beers, wines and spirits.
