Ever read Chicagoist? It is so bad! First-person plural? Gah! Nonetheless, sometimes they write about something important, as they did on August 27, 2007.
It turns out that Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and 28 of her comrades are going after Sparks and Bud Extra (omg who cares?) for being marketed to children. If you've never heard of these things, it is a shame. Do not drink the orange ones depicted at right! They will turn your orifices ochre.
Moving on. Chicagoist says this is hooey. They haven't seen any of this marketing to children or underage adults. (See, "they." I am being suckered in.)
Um, whatever. The point is the one kinda Northwestern bar that serves it is Hamilton's, and it will lose so much of its lucre should Lisa Madigan and her comrades succeed.
