Mountain Dew Game Fuel

Mountain Dew Game Fuel

Mountain Dew Game Fuel, produced by Pepsi Cola Inc, is a new version of Mountain Dew soda which was released on August 13th, 2007 and was available for 12 weeks.

This version of the drink is designed specifically to target gamers, providing them with the boost "they need to play for several hours". It is expected to aid in marketing Halo 3.

Game Fuel is a cherry-citrus flavor dyed red. The bottles feature the Halo 3 logo and a picture of the Master Chief along with the words "Game Fuel" and "Limited Edition".

Since previously released "Code Red" has a cherry flavor, and "Livewire" has the citrus orange flavor, you shouldn't be surprised to find it tastes like a blend of the two.

Each bottle contains about 120 mg of caffeine or 73 mg per can. This is 30% more caffeine than normal Mountain Dew, which, as the label claims, is the reason why the product is the perfect "game fuel."

Commercial

A commercial ad was released along with the drink with footage from Halo 3 and John-117. The commercial shows people of different nationalities playing Halo 3 on Xbox Live and screaming "NOOOOOOOOO!" in their native languages. At the end it shows one American man saying "Yes!" as he takes a sip of Mountain Dew Game Fuel. Then the narrator says "All new Mountain Dew Game Fuel, cranked up for Halo 3!" <youtube width="220" height="220">uO-J5ImDEi8</youtube>

This can no longer be bought normally except for the collectors edition 16 oz bottles.
