Halo 3 Drink: Taste Test!

August 01, 2007 in News comments 11

A box arrived at IGN and as IGN rushed downstairs, hoping for a brillaint demo of some sort, they were dissapointed, but not by a lot, to find Halo 3 limited edition soda. It's suppose to "get an edge on the competition", but does it really? IGN takes it for a taste test. First of all, it's orange and they say it tastes like cherry cough syrup in Mountain Dew. It didn't seem to change their gaming skills yet it gave them a sugar rush. Surprise, surprise.

Never one to miss an opportunity to regale readers with office antics, we decided to do a taste test to see how this new "invigorating blast of citrus cherry flavor with other natural flavors" Mountain holds up. Does the Halo 3 branding make it taste better? Does it really help you "get an edge on the competition" in games as the box claims? We were about to find out.

    Sounds like one of those drinks that you drink when desperately thristy. I love Mountain Dew, but I'm not too surprised that the drink gives you both a sugar rush, and a feeling that you drank medicine in a soda can.

    I wont be surprised if Bungie says you can't drink it. It has toxic in it XD. Its ment only for showcase!

    but seriously though, H3 is getting pushed way to far.

      Uh, if I recall correctly Halo 2 had one too. So, just don't blame it on Halo 3.

    I won't be surprized if this actually makes it into the game.

    I want it, I think it looks cool/good.

      Yeah, Halo 3 Mountain Dew vending machines in Halo 3's campaign.

      Actually, that's not a bad idea. It would make an interesting easter egg.

    The case and the can looks cool, but the liquid and how they describe it looks disgusting.

    A gaming character makes it onto the front of a drink can? That's a first in my eyes, not too much of a shock though as Halo 3 is going to be big. I wonder if the UK gets anything like this.
