Well, it could be worse... It could have been Crystal Pepsi.

Worse yet. Crystal Mountain Dew

Is it just me, or is anyone else flashing back to Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus? When the Abe's people's bones were being dug up and made into brew by the Glukkons?

why has there been no anime or cartoon to actually show a pro et-contra of industrialization as opposed to just labeling it as the devil outright

How about the Ghost in the Shell franchise? It doesn't demonize industrialization and technology by themselves (what with the cast being mostly cyborgs), but their misuse and abuse at the expense of society.

One i forgot to mention in this post was Princess mononoke as it actually shows that industrialization can help people who are powerless in a medival society but also warns that you have to find a balance with the eco-system in order for everyone to survive

Good Erin! Drink the blood of your enemies to gain their power!

Well, it could be worse... It could have been Crystal Pepsi.

Cmon, not even a JRPG villain would be THAT evil. That would be like filling the can with Wheel Skeletons from Dark Souls.

I suppose it's a good idea to save something if the suffering isn't great enough.

Well, it could be worse... It could have been Crystal Pepsi.

Worse yet. Crystal Mountain Dew

Amazingly, I have not heard of that, and I thought I heard of every kind of Mountain Dew.

Let this be a lesson girls, if you hang around in an alley without wearing pants soldiers will stop by and give you yummy things to put in your mouth.

After Golden Saucer fried chokobo flavoured Mountain Dew failed to deliver they decided to dig up pieces of the worlds core and infuse Mountain Dew with them. those madmen will try any new flavour and think it can be a hit

You say that like it's a bad thing.
Personally, I like mtn dew. I'd at least try it. lol

I was thinking a clear mtn dew was redundant since they had Dew Shine, so I was a bit off balanced.

I was sorta making a double joke. Crystal Pepsi is a real but mostly failed flavor of Pepsi. I hear you can still get it but it's hardly common.

I live in a country where Mtn Dew isn't sold but once on a class trip to poland i decided to see what the hype was about. The flavour wasn't very fresh or citrusy, it was just sour. and i can only describe the aftertaste as "meaty". overall it was just weird and i don't se how adding nacho cheese flavour can remedy that

Yeah, it's kinda sour, and has a thick after taste.

There's many flavors out now. I like Voltage which is a berry/ginseng blend that's supposedly uses the ginseng as extra energy, and I think it has a bit of a cotton candy sensation in the after taste. Like stumbling across the odd strawberry flavored one.

I never had the nacho cheese one, though. Maybe it bombed? I mean it makes some sense on paper. If you eat, and drink, the flavor of the food, and drink should blend some in your mouth?

There's a lot of weird food combinations out there that I don't imagine would work, but somehow do, like Chocolate, and bacon, or peppers and chocolate. Berries and meats. People are still adventurous, I guess.

My shower gel supposedly uses ginseng for extra energy. in regards to the whole mixing food flavours with soda it might make sense on paper but i find that the flavour of a soda doesn't so much mix with the food as it does taste differently depending on the taste on your tounge. in general having a sweet or sour taste in your mouth will make the soda taste less sweet while a salty or meaty taste on your tounge will make it sweeter.
As to the nacho cheese Mtn Dew they had just made the halo 4 marketing campaign with Mtn dew and Doritos and decided to mix the two. i'm beginning to think that every board of executives have their own underground chamber full of volcanic gasses that make them halucinate like the oracle of delphi because their logic is beyond the moon

I like the placebo the ginseng addition offers. I know it's not enough to be useful, but it does taste pretty awesome.

Maybe they thought, maybe like Jone's Soda's Nuka Cola Quantum and the thanks giving pack of sodas, that the doritos mtn dew would be more collectors item than sometihng people actually went out of their way to drink? I have heard of collectors of drinks keeping unopened sodas, rare as it is.
We'll probably never see the potential future value of Doritos Mtn Dew, but heck, you think people having the first appearance of Superman, or Spiderman, or a Mickey Mantle rookie card thought they had something that could be worth thousands when they first got them? I know most parents didn't when they threw out stuff like that.
I know I sure didn't. I walked into a retro styled toy store, being a collector/hunter and such, and saw an unopened toy I had when I was like 5, or so. It wasn't even on the shelf. I looked at the price tag, and saw it was 6 dollars, and figured "Wow, nostalgia's mauling me. I'll regret it if I don't get it." I took it to the register, and found out it was worth $160. I was pretty floored to say the least.
It's a weird gamble. Especially with modern mass production methods. It always was a gamble, I guess, since not everything back then went up in value.
It may, or may not help that there's scalpers out there, and employees taking them like crazy.
Who knows? Maybe an unopened promotional Mtn Dew could be worth hundreds in the future? We might laugh now, but we never will know, I guess.

I never considered the collectors (much like commander shepherd). catering to them is a risky buisness though since collectors value seems to be rather random. i heard of a guy with 90s a pokemon card with a pikachu with yellow cheeks instead of red. he was sure it would become a collectors item and kept it. however instead the exact same pikachu with re cheeks ended up being the big collectors item. also the comic book industry fucked up massively when they tried to cater to collectors only to find out they had overprinted all the comic books. Still you make a good point.
