The Resident Evil Energy Drink

Kotakuite Brian found this suspicious looking beverage at his local comic book store. It seems that Capcom has gone into the business of promoting their Resident Evil Franchise with energy drinks. Being the devoted fan that he is, Brian bought the "T-Virus Antidote" and even went so far as to drink it. He describes the taste as being "something similar to cherry medicine and watered-down sprite". Sounds like the T-Virus itself might be preferable to this sickly concoction.

Apparently the label touts it as being "based on a game rated M for mature by the ESRB. It is not intended for use by children." So, as Brian so eloquently puts it, "If you have a kid with the T-Virus, you're fucked."



I WANT ONE!!!

So... If we have the antidote, why is everyone still loading up their shotguns?

No commenter image uploaded Chintz says:

Since it's for a virus, shouldn't this be a cure and not an antidote?

No commenter image uploaded BubbRubb says:

Has anyone else tried this as an enema? Works pretty well, but still not as invigorating as coffee.

Looks delicious, in a zombie inducing sort of way.

If I mix this with red and green herbs will it cure impotence?

How much caffeine and taurine does it have?

Looks like the side effects of this drink are dirty finger nails.

This is just the cure of T-Virus, still needs zombies in case of:


failed gov't experiments in chemical warfare (kind of different)

monkeys with Rage (although they were never zombies, just infected ppl)

meteorites/asteroids, i dont know the difference

Just what we needed.. another horrible tasting drink sold on hype.. but now with video game hype also!

I'll stick to cocaine.
