Let's face it; it's Mountain Dew. Even if it weren't all tied up in Summoner Geeks pop-culture nerditry, we'd probably drink it anyway. So the idea of mixing Mountain Dew with World of Warcraft is essentially mating money to money and waiting patiently for more money to come out of it. The question is - how many of us will buy in on this? I already know most of the Massively team - and the WoW Insider team, of course - will pick some up if just for display. We figured we'd ask this morning, how likely are you to try World of Warcraft Mtn Dew? If WoW isn't your game, would you drink it if they made a variety for your favorite MMO - like low-sec EVE Black Mtn Dew as an example? Or will you just buy it because you'll be buying Mountain Dew anyway?

I probably would have been all over this a year or two ago. With Warcraft interest at a lower ebb at the moment, I doubt I'd go out of my way. If I saw one in the store, might pick it up but wouldn't search it out.

The color of Mountain Dew prevents me from drinking it.

I actually quit drinking caffiene for a number of reasons, one being how its addictive trait makes video gaming an addicted habit when consumed while playing. (As so often we do.)

I'd consider Quafe. ;3 Otherwise, ew too much sugar. On both WoW and and Dew.

Mountain Dew has zero caffeine out in my part of the world. What's left is not a hugely popular drink.

I would rather drink my own urine, cause it's sterile and I like the taste.

You did this advertisment less than a month ago much better

Grrrr. Keep the crappy ads to the right side of the page and stop the freaking advertorials.

I really don't like Mountain Dew. My husband will probably be all over this if we can find the WoW branded ones in stores, though.

Is that Horde one the same flavor as the Halo 3 Game Fuel they released a couple of years ago? If so, all I can say is "FOR TEH HORDE!!!11"
I still hate the new text-chat inspired "Mtn Dew" branding, though. Was the previous logo so horrible?
