Gears of War Imulsion drink exists ... seriously photo

This is an industry where Electronic Arts can contrive its own fictional Christian protest and Sony can drag a dead goat out at a God of War launch party, yet there are still some weird promotional schemes that make me scratch my head. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Imulsion, a brand new drink that emulates the mutating fuel source from Gears of War. This is actually happening!

The cans will cost $2.99 a pop, and it's likely some sort of energy drink since this comes from the same chaps responsible for the sugar-laden Street Fighter liquids. The fact that there's no readily available nutritional value scares me. Still, if you're brave you can get the demented things from Amazon, and drink them until the sodium turns your blood white and causes foam to squirt from your eyes. 

I cannot believe this thing actually exists. Imulsion isn't even supposed to be edible.

I actually have had this for a while now. They've been selling game-themed energy drinks at Hastings and I've bought them just to collect them. Some others are a Mario, DK, Pac-Man, Street Fighter, and Resident Evil (T-Virus energy drinks.

I'm willing to bet I see this at Frat Parties in a few months. Vodka and E. Drink is all the rage, and bros sure love their Gears.

I think I've had those for about a year now in my store. Along with all this stupid energy drink shite. Bad for your health son.

I'm not suprised at all. If it's popular, it'll have an energy drink. At my store we have Power Up, Donkey Kong something, Pacman something, Quagmire's "Cherry Pop", Flaming Moe, and Romulan Ale.

"Imulsion isn't even supposed to be edible."

You think that will stop a marketing department?

If it doesn't melt my flesh from the inside and out, I don't care.

As long as this drink exists, there will be claims that people saw a cole train outside their window before dropping to the floor and foaming at the mouth...

No good can come of this stuff, unless of course there's a competition to go and test out GoW3 with the stuff then I don't care what I'm gonna start hallucinating (cos it can't be worse than anything I've not already seen), I'm buying 100 cans XD

The fact that it is one letter away from emulsion is a more frightening thought to me. For those of you that don't know emulsion is a compound used in silk screen printing that hardens so ink can't pass through that portion of the screen. It's also light sensitive, I wonder if the drink is anything like that? O.o

I bought a can today. It sits in front of me. I'm afraid to drink it. Apperently it contains 210% of my daily allowance of Vitamin B12. It sits next to my Super Saiyan boost and Romulan Ale.
