Destructoid unofficially endorses World of Warcraft Mtn Dew photo

Well, I don't know if you'd call the following video (after the jump) an endorsement as much as an impromptu video shot in a Target right before closing while on a late night snack run. Of idiots. Posing with colorful high-fructose corn syrup. Wow. I know. No, not that WoW.

Watch on as Rey and Colette put on their best face for Dew with a blast of citrus cherry flavor. Or that other one of contrasting color that we didn't bother to look at. We expect PepsiCo to send over the check any day now. Oh, and Pepsi rep? Diet soda, please. We don't drink this crap.

Have any of you tried this? Is it diabetes in a bottle? Or is it pretty good?

This isn't Dr. Pepper. I am very upset.

The blue stuff is actually pretty good. I haven't had the chance to mess around with the red one yet. But it looks like blood, so it has to be good, right?

"Is it diabetes in a bottle? Or is it pretty good?"

Haha, I didn't know there was a difference. I guess I just like things sweet.

I've tried the red stuff before, and I have a 12-pack of blue stuff in the fridge right now. I like the blue stuff more, but it's extremely sweet, and gets kind of old fast. When I first tried it, I thought it was delicious albeit really sweet, but eventually I found myself wanting a Coke instead. I'm probably not gonna be buying it anymore, but it's worth trying if you're curious.

I tried Game Fuel when it was branded for Halo, and liked it well enough but didn't buy it again or try the WoW versions because, like you, I generally stick to diet.

I like how the folks at the extreme division are so caffiene and sugar addled that they left out the vowels on mountain... I imagine if you guys drank enough this place would gradually drop letters and become DTD.com

Speaking as a troll, it shames me to say that I just didn't like the Horde flavor. I'm pretty sure the Alliance flavor is just the Baja Blast flavor from Taco Bell. This is okay, because I'm pretty sure that's what God would taste like if you licked him.

"Game Fuel".
So ridiculous.

All I know is that the flavor the Halo branded stuff had was pretty much Livewire and Code Red mixed together. A combination that I like to call "absolutely terrible".

The red stuff tastes like the Halo stuff with Cherry. The blue stuff tastes alright.

I'm gonna have to break the trend and admit that I freakin love the red flavor. I hate WoW with a passion (sorry), but this stuff is like crack. HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!!!!

I tried the red stuff when it had halo on it. It was ok at first but after a while of drinking in it started to taste like I just licked the sweat off a clowns ass. Haven't tried the new stuff yet though.

I don't really care for the red version, but I sort of like the blue version.
Neither comes close to Code Red for me, tho =).

Im glad I live in England, where they put real sugar in their drinks and alcohol can be bought at 18.

None of this high-fructose corn syrup crap.

You needed a charismatic voice-over and cheesy rock music on that video to complete the fake ad feeling.

Blue is good. Red is all right, but as others have said, it starts tasting strange after a while.

Granted, I've only had one of each. Tried them for the novelty.

Oh snap, it's back out again. I'm gonna go buy a few 12 packs this time. I don't normally drink Dew, but this stuff is oddly addicting and frankly, on the rare occasions where I drink an energy drink, this will be much tastier than Amp Overdrive (the product that closest matches Gamer Fuel)

I have two cases of the red sitting next to my fridge in my room, and I love the taste.

I also (accidentally) still have a can of the Halo 3 one in the back of my fridge that I never drank and completely forgot about. I wonder how good it still is after nearly two years D:

I've always enjoyed the flavored Dew over the regular. And this stuff is no different. I'll drink it by the gallon if I'm in need of a caffeine fix.

ALL RIGHT, SUNNY D! IT'S GOOD STUFF!

Clearly, they need to come out with some form of orange drink.

Just because it's diabetes in a bottle doesn't mean it's really good. I would be drinking this stuff more than once if they made it a Diet drink.

I'm still not on board with the whole "Mtn Dew" thing. It's fucking Mountain Dew, so shut up and ride a BMX bike out the back of a cargo plane and land on a volcano or something.

I like the the blue kind. The red kind is good too, but blue reminds me of baja blast, which is a favorite of mine, so I like it more. I wish Baja Blast was sold in more than Taco Bell around me.

Any flavor besides the original Mountain Dew tastes like medicine to me. This goes for all the Cherry Cokes and Cherry Dr. Peppers too. Just give me the original please.

@brainderailment

Dude I totally remember those TMNT cakes. The commercial made them look awesome but when I tried them I couldn't even finish one, they were that gross.
