Halo 3 Dew "Game Fuel" available August 13th

by Dustin Burg { Aug 3rd 2007 at 10:15AM }

Certain video game websites (see: not us) have been receiving samples of the Halo 3 branded Mountain Dew called Game Fuel (which we've known about for a while now) and confirming that the drink will be available for only ten weeks starting August 13th. The IGN guys were lucky enough to receive their two can sample and after giving the Halo 3 Dew a few good gargles they think the orange colored, cherry-citrus flavored soda taste like cough syrup and Dew ... but that's them. We know we'll love it, because A) we're fanboys and B) because we're fanboys that will drink any Master Chief branded soda, even if there's a chance that it'll make us break out in hives or cause our ears to fall off.

Toph @ Aug 3rd 2007 10:24AM

Who Flang Poo @ Aug 3rd 2007 10:28AM

Does anyone know how much it wil be?

Hopefully the same pirce as usual moutain dew.

Big Ed @ Aug 3rd 2007 10:31AM

Microsoft should of used BAWLS rather than mountain dew. But than again, I am a caffeine addict.

Crashman06 @ Aug 3rd 2007 10:40AM

I'm all for Halo branding but man, that stuff sounds nasty.

Michael @ Aug 3rd 2007 10:51AM

I found this at a local store the other day and purchased one just to try it out. I have to say it was the thickest drink I've ever had. Very sweet and very syrupy. Didn't care for it. I purchased it in a 20oz bottle for $1.19. Which is regular price. It did have Halo 3 on the bottle, but past that I wouldn't drink it again.

Seems like every Mountain Dew product that isn't Mountain Dew isn't good. Baja Blast, Live Wire, Midnight, Red Alert, and now Gamer Fuel.

jduke @ Aug 3rd 2007 10:56AM

Code Red wasn't bad.

erivera3 @ Aug 3rd 2007 10:59AM

Are you kidding? Code red is my favorite flavor! Baja blast is delicious too. Live Wire was ok, and the original flavor is amazing.

I love Mountain Dew, and I bet I will love this new Game Fuel stuff.

Who Flang Poo @ Aug 3rd 2007 11:13AM

I personally liked all the moutain dews but the only one i thought tased like drap was Piched Black #2, that sour crap.

Otherwise Origional, Code Red, Livewire, MDX, AMP, Piched Black, were all pretty good in my opinion and hopefully Game Fuel will be better then the shitty Piched Black #2.

Fezmid @ Aug 3rd 2007 11:18AM

I haven't had the Halo one yet, but Code Red rocks, just as good as the original! Live Wire is pretty good (not as good as the original though). That Pitch Black SUCKED. Had it once, and wanted my taste buds back. Blech!

rockeranimefreak @ Aug 3rd 2007 11:40AM

i shall stock up on this too! like 10 boxes XD!
hope it tastes good though i'm not one to really complain about soda soo i'll probably drink it anyway! :P

Jesse @ Aug 3rd 2007 11:44AM

it tastes like gummy worms, to be honest not good but not bad

Michael Paul @ Aug 3rd 2007 12:44PM

Not that they care, but Diet Game Fuel would have a good chance of selling well too. I go through as much as 60 ounces of Diet Dew per workday.

Coolness shouldn't be linked to sugar content...

bigmac375 @ Aug 3rd 2007 12:56PM

i am going to build a shrine of all of the halo 3 adverts. expect 100 feet.

ShadowedAsh @ Aug 3rd 2007 1:06PM

Code Red is awesome. Live Wire isn't bad. The first Pitch Black was great. As for caffeine, Original AMP and AMP Overdrive are both delicious!

But you know what I really miss? Pepsi Blue. That stuff was really good and then they just... stopped making it.

zourskittles @ Aug 3rd 2007 1:05PM

Did anyone else see the Mountain Dew commercial during last nights X Games and the one with the BMXer. Because he was Mountain Dew themed green i could of sworn that was The MC BMXing.

Also, I'll so be getting this.

Chris @ Aug 3rd 2007 1:07PM

It is already available here in Iowa. had it for a couple days.

colin @ Aug 3rd 2007 8:09PM

i like cough syrup, it makes me feel kinda funny

JohnKo23 @ Aug 3rd 2007 9:56PM

We've had this for sale in our store since Monday. They are selling it for $0.25 per 20oz bottle so I thought I would try it out even though I don't care for Mountain Dew. I actually thought it was pretty good. It has a nice fruity flavor and I didn't think it was thick at all.

After work today I bought 9 bottles for $2.86. LOL

GANNONSMASH @ Aug 4th 2007 3:33AM

"But you know what I really miss? Pepsi Blue. That stuff was really good and then they just... stopped making it."

So true... so true.

TaiZ @ Aug 4th 2007 5:29AM

I got a free can when I went to Video Games Live in Louisville, Kentucky. I like it a lot better than the other flavors of Mountain Dew. I can barely stand the taste of the original. It somewhat reminds me of a mixture of Cherry and FuFu Berry Jones sodas.

Firestar @ Aug 7th 2007 8:28PM

I have tried it and it is delicious!!!!!!!!!!!

streetfoo212 @ Aug 10th 2007 11:59AM

I got a bottle of this stuff at a gas station on August 7, and it was really good

Sasuke45 @ Aug 13th 2007 11:59PM

I just tried this stuff and if you ask me it tastes just like the amp overdrive

poisonburreeto @ Aug 11th 2007 7:29PM

amy @ Aug 13th 2007 4:45PM

i thought it tasted like a carbonated version of a melted cherry icee. lol... i like it tho :)

THEWINNER @ Aug 16th 2007 11:17PM

Just so you guys know, you should think carefully about saving the cans full. I did this a few years back during the Star Wars Episode 1/Pepsi promotion. Needless to say I now have a closet floor soaked with Pepsi and a whole lot of exploded cans. Those expirations are their for a reason.

NICHOLAS @ Aug 20th 2007 9:02PM

MOUNTAIN DEW IS THE GAME FUEL OF THE FUTURE! I LOVE GAME FUEL!

HALO IS COMING!

HALO FOR PRESIDENT OF THE USA!

RavenLockheart @ Aug 20th 2007 10:04PM

Yea the stuff does tast horrible... I've bought myself a boxs... its the same price as the normal canned mountain dew.... and it does come in a cool box and can's!

Zach @ Aug 21st 2007 10:21AM

Nothing, I repeat, nothing, will ever compare to Mountain Dew Pitch Plack Version 2. Summer of 2005 was the tastiest of my life.

tehpwnmstr @ Aug 22nd 2007 12:22AM

i was actually drinking this stuff 2 days before it was supposed to come out. i love having friends that work in grocery stores.

Daniel @ Aug 23rd 2007 12:19AM

Greg @ Aug 29th 2007 6:09PM

I figured out what candy this tastes EXACTLY like. It's this gum http://www.metrocandy.com/BUBBLE-JUG-TROPICAL-FRUIT

Not similar, the flavor is identical

Rob @ Sep 7th 2007 12:53AM

I miss Peach Nehi. I guess I'm dating myself (no one else will).

Ivan Avalos @ Sep 7th 2007 6:42AM
