We're just 12 days from Four Loko being pulled from the shelves, which means everyone NYU students are scrambling to stock up. Enter Craigslist. The Daily News reports that some people are selling off their "collections" on the site at prices like $7 a can (some delis sell them for $6), and one guy is selling six cans—two each of Watermelon, Fruit Punch and Blue Raspberry—for $50. Throw in a Cranberry Lemonade and you've got yourself a deal!
The seller describes the bounty as "a true collectors item; very difficult to come by," but it looks like Craigslist has a surplus. They're going for $5 a can in the East Village, and for $6 plus USPS shipping rates you can get them mailed to your door anywhere in the country. And strengthening the argument that Four Loko is like candied cocaine is this person, who posts, "Wanted: Four Loko - Will barter 1 heart. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE, I NEED THIS." A heart? If you're going to go in that direction, you might as well offer a few roses.
