Mountain Dew Game Fuel: World of Warcraft

If the majority of your days are spent power-leveling, camping mob spawns, and kiting aggros, the friendly folks at Mountain Dew would like a moment of your time. They have released a second entry in their Game Fuel line, Mountain Dew Game Fuel: World of Warcraft edition. This nuclear-blue monstrosity claims to be "Dew with a punch of wild fruit flavor". What kind of fruit is it you ask? Hey, I'm no scientist!

It turns out that the color is the most striking aspect of this soft drink, it smells and tastes sweet, but the closest we could get to nailing down a discernable flavor to it was to say it is similar to drinking a carbonated and thawed blue freezepop. No flavor like this exists in nature.

What is unsettling about this soda is the almost complete lack of character, the flavor is faint, and the smell is fleeting. I'd hate to accuse Mountain Dew of running out of ideas and merely milking the oversaturated market, but come on, they were grasping at straws with their original, now Halo-Edition Game Fuel, and this latest offering is just plain boring. On top of this, heck, I'll say it, the last thing most hardcore gamers need to be putting into their systems is another mouthful of sugar and preservatives. Mountain Dew needs to stop putting out nerfed loot and grinding the same old marketing approach before they find their previously friendly fan base have become KOS.
