Mountain Dew Game Fuel, produced by Pepsi Cola Inc., was a new version of Mountain Dew soda which was released on August 13th, 2007 and was available for 12 weeks in stores.
Background
This version of the drink is designed specifically to target gamers, providing them with the boost "they need to play for several hours". It was expected to aid in marketing Halo 3. [1]
Game Fuel is a cherry-citrus flavor dyed red. The bottles features the Halo 3 logo and a picture of the Master Chief along with the words "Game Fuel" and "Limited Edition". People who have tasted the drink have compared the taste of game fuel to the previously released "Code Red" which has a cherry flavor, and "Livewire" which has a citrus orange flavor, some have been surprised to find it tastes like a blend of the two. However some have pointed out that the flavor is similar to a liquid gummy bear; while people who dislike the drink have claimed it taste like cherry cough syrup.
Each bottle of Game Fuel 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 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 "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" in their native tongues when they die. At the end it shows one American man saying "Yes!" (he was probably winning) 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!"
Trivia
- Game Fuel was actually available longer then 12 weeks, however after sometime it could only be found as cases of 12, Game Fuel was no longer available in any retail store sometime after February 2008, except for the collectors edition 16 oz bottles which are either extremely hard to find or have been retired. However in Summer 2009, Mountain Dew has brought back Game Fuel this time promoting World of Warcraft, the new Game Fuel includes the original citrus cherry version, and a new wild fruit flavor version.
- The taste of Game Fuel has a somewhat identical taste to Amp Overdrive, an energy drink made by Pepsi Co. under the Mountain Dew brand name.
