If you thought Fireball Cinnamon — the small bottles of liquor commonly found at convenience stores and gas stations — contain whiskey, think again! Turns out, those mini bottles contain a malt beverage flavored to taste like whiskey, according to a class-action lawsuit filed against the maker of the beverage.
The Jan. 7 lawsuit was specifically filed against Sazerac, the parent company behind Fireball Cinnamon and its authentic twin Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, over the former brand's deceptively similar packaging to the latter. The only way consumers are able to differentiate between the two brands is by reading the fine-print text on the Fireball Cinnamon bottle.
