Fireball is getting sued for selling mini bottles that don't actually contain whiskey

If you've ever walked into your local gas station and excitedly picked up one, or even a handful of mini Fireball bottles, you might want to sit down for this news.
It turns out that the teeny bottles don't contain any whiskey whatsoever. Like most gas station beverages moonlighting as cocktails or hard liquor, Fireball Cinnamon is actually a malt beverage.
Food & Wine reports that the news was uncovered due to a class-action lawsuit filed by Anna Marquez. The lawsuit, which was filed against Sazerac Company, Inc. (the makers of Fireball), calls out the company for misleading customers with their labeling.

To break it down a bit, there's Fireball Cinnamon and there's also Fireball Cinnamon Whisky. The miniature bottles of both offerings look quite similar, but the label for the Fireball Cinnamon states that it's a “Malt Beverage with Natural Whisky & Other Flavors and Caramel Color.” Additionally, the Fireball Cinnamon alcohol by volume (ABV), which stands at 16.5%, is much lower than the Fireball Cinnamon Whisky (33%).

I can honestly say I’ve never once tried Fireball. Doesn’t appeal to me at all. I’ll stick with bourbon.

If the label says it’s malt liquor, I don’t see how the suit has a leg to stand on. Am I taking crazy pills here or what?

So it does actually contain whiskey or some kind of alcohol, otherwise that percentage would be 0...am I reading that right?

Mix that whiskey with orange juice over ice, and you’ve got a surprisingly good drink

Yeah, you just aren't reading all of it.

I see these when I stop for a 24 oz High Life. Always curious who would buy the little bottles of hooch. They wouldn't last a mile...

I have and it taste just like you are chewing Big Red Gum.
Needless to say I am not a fan either.

I don’t know if this matter in the legal sense, but the bottles and labels look exactly the same. It seems to me they made them with the intention of people thinking they were the same.
I knew they were different because gas stations here in Alabama can’t sell liquor.

Fireball & RumChata 1:1 ratio makes a delicious Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot. Don't take away the stuff.
