Sounds like they should label it more clearly, but this story looks like a funny hack to me.

Some states only allow the sale of beer and wine in places like gas stations and grocery stores. You can't sell whiskey there, but you can sell spiced malt beverages.

Unrelated, I really like that NPR has a script-free "text.npr.org" subdomain.

I saw Fireball on the counter of a convenience store the other day and was somewhat confused.

The state doesn't allow liquor sales in convenience stores, but does allow the sale of beer and malt liquor.

That explains what was going on.

Yea, that's what I was thinking. Should have just added the word flavour or similar.
