Game Fuel Sighted - Not Yet Expired
While wondering the over-priced aisles of my local Safeway grocery store today, I turned down the soda aisle and what did I see? Five 12-packs of Master Chief approved Mountain Dew Game Fuel. I haven't seen Game Fuel on any store shelves since early October, so I was excited by the prospect of tasting the Chief's sweet cherry nectar once again, but wary of it because I hadn't seen it in so long. I checked the boxes and the expiration date said March 24th, 2008. However much I bought, I would have a little over a month to drink Game Fuel at its best taste, or worse (Paul hated the stuff) depending on your views of the delicious droplets of Halo. The boxes were a little old looking, as if some stock boy found the five 12-packs hidden underneath a stack of regular soda, but the expiration date was still valid, so I went for it. Safeway was having a "buy 2 get 2 free" promo and while I certainly didn't need that much soda, I couldn't resist the chance to elapse into Game Fuel addiction one last time, before it becomes completely expired and extinct. I may end up giving a couple cans to a fiend at work that loved Master Chief's life-juice as much, if not more than, me. If I miss the date by a couple days it'll still be worth it. Hell, it may even end up being better. Since I don't need a Game Fuel induced coma and was feeling generous to other Game Fuel seekers, I only ended up buying three of the 12-packs along with a 12 of another soda to fill my deal quota. If some other lucky Game Fuel aficionado spots the other two 12-packs, they too will get the chance to taste awesome-in-a-can one last time. - Shawn - 02/18/08 |
