This Georgia mom accidentally packed a little extra something in her teenage daughter's school lunch. Unlike the mom who bought cocaine as a gift for her daughter’s birthday this mom wasn't trying to get her daughter lit when she mistakenly sent her off to school with a Four Loko, the alcoholic drink notorious on college campuses.
Four Loko, for the olds out there, is a cheap, alcoholic energy drink that hit its peak in 2010 and was laid to rest shortly after before rising from the dead (much like someone after a night of drinking the O.G. Four Loko) with a new formula with less caffeine.
The teen with the potential "Mom of the Year" is Mckenzie Strange, a 17-year-old high school junior, Buzzfeed Newsreports.
Strange tweeted about the hilarious parenting mishap, including a photo of the Four Loko lunch and texts from her mom who thought it was just an "energy drink."

Strange toldBuzzfeed she's "blessed" with a "great" mom who still packs her school lunch, including the previously mentioned questionable one.
Buzzfeedreports when Mckenzie discovered the drink, which clearly states "contains alcohol," she checked in with her mom to ask her about it. "I texted my mom about it and she couldn't believe the mistake she made; she was half asleep when packing my lunch and thought it was a Peach Tea," Strange toldBuzzfeed. She also explained that her mom found it in a rarely used refrigerator in the house.
According to Strange, the Four Loko was her 23-year-old brother's, who found his mom's mistake hilarious. As for Strange's mother, she said, "'I need to get a cup of coffee before I try and pack lunches from now on.'"
Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that alcoholic energy drink Four Loko re-emerged with a "new formula with less caffeine" after 2010. The company says the drink has not contained caffeine, guarana and taurine since 2010.
