To me, this stuff tastes like the full-calorie version of either the old 7-Up Plus or TaB Energy. In other words, melted down candy. It's not the most sophisticated of flavors. I sure as heck won't buy this again.

Default I could drink this stuff like it was popcorn.

This stuff rocks.

I bought a 2-liter bottle of it on Friday. After drinking all but a couple cups of it in the space of 30 min, and after reading that it was only a limited-edition beverage, I booked it back to Safeway and bought every bottle they had stocked (10).

I only have two bottles left.

I've made it a goal to spend a considerable amount of time and effort, trying to make this stuff stay around (like what happened with Code Red).

Speaking of Code Red, this stuff tastes like Code Red and Live Wire mixed together, but with a chernobyl-orange color that looks uncannily like orange antifreeze. It looks like it's actually glowing.

Game Fuel FTW.

Thumbs up

I tried the new mountain dew game fuel today. I really like it. The flavor reminds me of those ice pops with the liquid in the long plastic tubes that you freeze. It definately should be a permanent flavor!

I have to modify my original impressions - I finally popped open the 2L I bought the same day I bought the 20oz.. it was produced at a different plant, and the taste is much more like the code red/livewire combo that other people mentioned.

This stuff is addictive. I've been having a bottle of this every day, which is unusual because I try to stay away from drinks that have both sugar and caffeine.

I thought this stuff was great! I only found it in the 2L and in a 12 pack of cans, as opposed to individual sized bottles. I only saw it in one grocery store, too (Acme), though I checked everywhere.

The "smarties" comparison brought up earlier certainly applies, but I actually enjoyed that flavor. I was thinking SweeTarts more than Smarties when I sampled it. There is a lot of caffeine, and it caused me to go to the bathroom a lot... I guess that might be due to my small size and high sensitivity to caffeine, though.

I'm still looking forward to the BevNet review. I haven't seen it on the front page yet.

Wow...really? Most of you liked it? This stuff is horrific. I can't handle more than a gulp of it. I really wanted to like it(I'm a huge Halo fan), but it's just like a bunch of artificial fruit is having an orgy in my mouth. It's so bad.

LMAO....I do not know about you but the idea of an orgy in my mouth seems like a good thing. LOL (Just joking.LOL)

found some at my work's cafeteria.

I like the taste. To me it reminds me of a cherry slurpee in some ways.
