 		Swamp Pop may have been around awhile but their shop was registered in 2016...January! Like recently. They just put this up...

There's enough association to confirm this in game. Isn't that the basis of ARG to begin with, cross media - real world meets fiction? There ya go.

Slusho = Swamp Pop

DO you think this company in Louisiana green lit their product being in Valencia/ 10 Cloverfield Lane trailer a year ago and forgot to put up their web shop on their site until, coincidentally, one day after the trailer goes live, just to cash in? I think they'd have been aware of this from the get go and just added this for the entire purpose of rabbit hole, and IGS.

OF COURSE we're gonna order Swamp Pop! And shirts. Let's see what it comes packaged in though...

And keep in mind this is how Cloverfield launched....Slusho drink on the shirt tying to JJ Abrams OOG other series Alias. Real meets fiction. Started us off with the beverage...to...dare I go there...quench our thirst!

The flavor shown in the trailer appears to be their ginger flavor shown in the second photo ive posted. It's possible that the ginger one may lead to something?

 		Slusho began just like this too, it would make a lot of sense if they did this thing. I'm glad we've finally found a clue, even if it's just the company pulling our leg a bit (kind of don't see that happening here but we shall see). Curious how it says .Long-Term and not Long-Term, it seems like an odd thing to name a product; also the image isn't the standard "Sold Out" image used by Shopify either, first time I see it, seems like it was also made on purpose.

Yup, a breadcrumb is simply the Home > All Products > Category etc stuff that many sites have. What you've highlighted is part of the content managing system of the site, nothing really suspicious there.

Are you kidding me?? Do you not remember the LOST Experience - sponsored by Jeep, and Sprite, and I don't remember what else because I was SO turned off by the meta sponsorship bs that I think I stopped following....

As for why "can't drink just 4" instead of 6? Because they are a real company, that sells its product in 4 packs.

Even if this is fake, it's genius of Swamp Pop to capitalize on this. But did buying slusho shirts way back when yield any results to further the ARG? i can't remember...thinking about buying a 4 pack but don't wanna spend money if i don't need to.
