[Poll]Will we actually be able to taste an authentic Slusho? By the end of this "game" will we be able to taste an actual Slusho! or an icee with the name Slusho! tagged on it? Vote above(sorry for any spelling errors)
Let it die when its dead.

It would be fun, but not practical.
It's one thing to have some custom chocolate bars made and give them out (Apollo bars), but it's quite another to create icy beverages, that would have to be dispensed.
I don't know how much it must have cost "The Simpsons" to change those 7-11 stores to Kwik-e-Marts, but it's probably too much for the budget of the Cloverfield folks. Besides, it would be kind of lame to copy what "The Simpsons" did.

maybe on certain locations But I don't expect to see real Slusho! here in Quebec. By the way, if they want to sell it here they will have strong competion from a provincial convenient store network selling Sloche!

that is unreal about the Sloche, truly unique flavor assortment!
what if - someone took the next step as far as the marketing of Slusho! and began promoting "Official Slusho! Parties" the way bars/clubs promoted Official Myspace parties not long ago? I have a particular daquari bar in mind that serves multiple frozen alcoholic drinks that could be renamed for a promotion to correspond to Slusho! flavors. the promoters that have this type of event rely heavily on email blasts and Myspace posts as opposed to traditional advertising and marketing. the way this ARG/ARE is progressing, it would seem the PMs are encouraging online promotion for their product/movie like posting an e-flyer for a club on the IG characters Myspace page.
what do y'all think?

Maybe Slusho! isn't part of the game/movie.
Maybe the game/movie is part of a Slusho! advertising campaign...xD

Has anyone had a Romulan ale? I hear its delicious. You cant even drink just 1!
Why isn't there a "NO, no Slusho will ever be authentic because Deep Sea Nectar doesn't exist in real life" selection in the poll?

I think if it happens it'll just be a rebranded frozen drink we've all heard of. Hopefully not Slurpee, though.

Lame, yes! Unlikely, I'm starting to think not. If this movie is creating half the "buzz" (I hate myself a little for using that word) the media is hyping, a national frozen drink might be willing to take on part of the financial costs of starting the promotion so they can reap the rewards. If it was available we'd all probably have at least one.

I was wondering that too, but decided it's possible through rebranding (w/o the DSN).

Ah, my mistake. Never got around to watching Alien. It wasn't funny enough.
AVP was funny though.
