World of Warcraft Mountain Dew Available This Month

World of Warcraft Mountain Dew

Whether you need extra energy while raiding Ironforge, or you just want to stay awake longer when you're grinding 85 million Furbolgs, Pepsico has just the drink for you: World of Warcraft-themed Mountain Dew.

The new Dew comes in two exciting colors: Horde Red and Alliance Blue, so you'll be able to indicate your allegiance through your soft drink choice. The brightly colored, carbonated sugar-water will be available in stores near you this month and will be available throughout the summer.  Check out the official site for details, a contest, and other soft-drink promotional materials.

A careful analysis of the nutritional information reveals that The Horde's Citrus Cherry flavored concoction contains 10 more calories than The Alliance's Wild Fruit flavor. This is because The Horde is clearly superior and can handle the extra calories, where The Alliance just aren't extreme enough to deal. Also:  Judging by the flavor choices, Pepsico is clearly indicating The Alliance are a bunch of wild fruits.

Mountain Dew has long been associated with gaming in the popular consciousness, but personally, I never drink the stuff. I prefer either coffee or gin. I'm probably revealing personal information here, but some of my fellow G4-ians have been downing a ton of five-hour energy drink lately. What about you? What's your gaming beverage of choice, and do you think the stereotypes of gamers as having unhealthy diets is true? Like some stereotypes, I think there's some definite accuracy at the bottom of this one: Last week was E3, and I'm telling you, that convention center was packed with unhealthy people. Still, I wonder if it was more unhealthy than the rest of the country. People in the U.S are really putting on pounds, know what I mean?

    Sun Drop is better than Mt. Dew any day of the week, but you have to live in the south to get Sun Drop, so it's a give and take.

    Hey baggypants. Grand Haven Michigan here. And I concur. However, I still prefer the Baja I get from Taco Bell overall! :)

    UPDATE:
    I just went out and rented Prototype and bought both Horde's Citrus Cherry and Alliance's Wild Fruit. I tasted Horde first. It was delicious. I tasted Alliance 10 seconds later- it was bland and I still tasted the Horde's cherry.
    10 minutes later I switched the process, taking Alliance first. It was delicious. Then I tasted Horde 10 seconds later, and it was not bland, but rather washed away all Alliance from my mouth with it's amazing cherry flavor.
    I say this because it is truth, not simply because I am a patriotic member of the Horde.
    Horde's Citrus Cherry wins.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
    not more wow stuff, i hate that game now, sure i use to love it, but in the end i started hating it, it must be stopped!
    I'm hoping Star Wars the Old Republic will, but it would have to be extreme to do so

    I'm a huge WoW junkie and I'm pretty damn skinny. I run and work out enough to keep from looking like Reuben Studdard. Actually, out of my geeky crowd, I know only 1 WoWer who is overweight, and that's saying something since I know a lot of WoW heads. As far as energy goes, I normally choose what looks good in the gas station that day, though I am anxious to give these new ones a try. It's hard to find energy drinks that I can actually feel an effect from. Maybe that's because I'm Horde and hardcore.

    I would say that stereotype of gamers haveing a bad diet is true. At least in my case because after work I wanna go home and play games for a couple of hours, that leaves me no time to cook something healthy, or anything at all, so its either A&W, Tim Hortons, Or Dominoes, and that NOT healthy. But i think that point is dead on about it probably not just being gamers with unhealthy Diets, I think its alot of north america at least.

    You can get active gaming...For example I'm sweating my junk off right now because of how fierce a power-stance I've had for an hour playing the new Iron Maiden DLC for Rock Band!!! Now that my legs are lunged out I will switch to drums for my upper body and then to vocals to get my cardio. Wii fit can bite my hairy metal ass. UP THE IRONS!!!!
