It was actually a recycled mountain dew flavor called "Octane" that didn't last too long in stores. That took that and slapped Master Chief on and and BOOM, hotcakes baby.SimuLord post=7.73059.783138 said:For what it's worth, Mountain Dew Game Fuel was awesome. It also didn't go too over the top with the gamer-marketing ploy. I could live with the Master Chief on my sort-of-orangy caffeine delivery device.
Yeah, that's accurate.Alone Disciple post=7.73059.782539 said:Only here can you take trail mix and Chex mix, put it in a 'collectible' cylinder, give it a goofy-ass name, and then charge 3x the amount and the masses will buy it.
Well, then again, we are the same people who pay $60 for sub-par crap on a regular basis.
Yeah, they are. But it's not necessarily a bad thing.Indigo_Dingo post=7.73059.783888 said:Is it just me, or are they going steadily more insane?
Hey hey hey! When I was in middle school we had milk in a bag and let me tell you, you can do a LOT of fun things with milk in bags (as opposed to milk in cartons anyways)fyrh56 post=7.73059.783492 said:Wait... Food in a bottle? Are these guys Canadian? Imagine a store clerk's face if you asked for a bottle of snacks and a bag of milk.
Tycho's got a thing for stereotype exploitation. A violent thing.Indigo_Dingo post=7.73059.783888 said:Is it just me, or are they going steadily more insane?
Never steroids. We don't need strength. We need speed (for our reaction time), so what better to take then... well... Speed.dekkarax post=7.73059.782397 said:Games are not physical sports. They do not need "performance snacks". This is a cash-in for the stupid.
If they are releasing food and drinks to "increase performance" in games, I wonder when professional gamers will start taking steroids, some people are that stupid
