Deconstructing the MGS4 energy drink

by Andrew Yoon { Jun 10th 2008 at 9:30AM }

In Japan, it's not uncommon for drinks to include Cracker Jack-esque bonuses. This new Metal Gear-themed energy drink from Regain is offering a few goodies when you pick up one at your local Japanese convenience store. Our friend at PSP GadgetZ got all four varieties, and you can check them out here. Our favorite bonus? The Foxhound-themed dogtag.

I seriously think people are going over board with MGS4..

It's not really overboard for Japan. And anyways, it's similar to that Halo 3 Gamerfuel.

Why does Japan get all the cool stuff?? :( I wish I had some kick ass dog tags :(

Gaucho @ Jun 10th 2008 10:13AM

I hear ya, I would do unspeakable things that I would later regret and hope that no one posts on the internet to get those dog tags.

Well....you could always join the army, just for the prizes.

Is there any way to get this possibly cancer inducing energy drink shipped to NYC? I want the dog tags . . .

HarryPS3 @ Jun 10th 2008 10:13AM

i don't care how much you love MGS, this auction is ridiculous.

Wait what?

Wait isn't Old Snake Naked Snake? Time Paradox.

This ridiculous, people complained about the insane amount of publicity of Halo 3 but we never watched a commercial with Master Chief drinking gamer fuel.

Anyway it was kind of cool but the drink itself looks like jet fuel.
