[Future Update]Slusho kits are in store?

Kingpin

I'm pretty sure such a kit doesn't actually exist... and is simply padding for a site that is there to help develop the reality of the movie.

I think the obvious marketing move would be to hook up with 7-11 (i.e. Slushee = Slusho!)

Kinda doubt the marketing is going to be that gigantic for the movie though.

You know what would be funny?

They do sell them, but they make it so that us argers really can't drink just six. Maybe you have to buy like, all six flavors + a mystery flavor or something to get all of some sort of information. it would make sense.

even if they did promo sales of slusho, i doubt somehow that it would taste anything like the description put about on in game websites, where it claimed to give ppl a good feeling and such like. Ppl wil probably be saying "do i have to drink six"

i doubt the slusho kits will be on sale, but the t-shirts and whatnots i can see being a bit marketing campaign.

Yeah, I've always suspected they'll pull an "Apollo Bar"...just as that candy was actually sold in stores, I fully expect to see the Slusho drinks show up in 7-Elevens sometime soon.

And I hope to god they don't turn me into a giant whale. But then again...it could be fun.

Ever since the Slusho! thing came about I've been reminded of the Slurpee being renamed the Slushee for The Simpsons Movie promotion. That actually gave me a particularly ornery idea...
McDonald's didn't come up with "MickeyD's", that's a popular nickname people had for it and they eventually embraced it. I think it'd be an interesting demonstration of just how many and pervasive we in this online movie market are if we insisted on calling ALL fozen soft drinks Slusho. Just imagine what it'd be like when people ask what it is, or when you first hear someone ELSE refer to it that way. I can't think of a better way to promote this movie and this site.

As for a drink making you 'feel good' - look at Coca-Cola and 7up. Coca mash (essentially unrefined cocaine) and lithium were in those, respectively. People thought nothing of it, and the makers found it to be an excellent ingredient. We sure know better about messing with those substances casually now, don't we?

W-Three

Whether or not slusho is sold, I highly doubt itll be sold in japan. So far, this appears to be a mainly English thing, and I cant see them suddenly forcing people to have to go to japan or something along those lines.
