Mana Energy Potion: For the Gamer Who Will Fall For Pigeon-Holed Marketing

I present to you “Mana Energy Potion.” What is it, you ask? Is it a magical potion from the ether-realm that will grant you super-human abilities? No, it’s an energy drink in a potion bottle. The website for the stuff proclaims it’s “Energy for gamers” and even has pictures of minotaurs and other stuff that could fit into the category of “fantasy” along with some talk about being a “level 12 human” and such. This alone is sure to have many nerds clamoring to buy a product that’s “for” them, even though it costs $6.90 for a two-pack, not including shipping and handling.
I’ve got a better idea though. Go out and buy an energy drink in any grocery store along with some food coloring. Pour both into a funky-looking bottle and shake well. Mark up the price and sell to gullible people who will buy anything just because it looks funky. Congratulations, you’re a marketing genius.

I dunno, I think I’d buy one simply to drink it, wash out the bottle, and then store on a shelf with the rest of my random gaming stuff (such as an energy drink with Mario on it called Power Up)
Wow… .But see there IS one Gamer energy drink thats good.. Bawls.. that stuff tastes the best out of all them imho.
I’ll stick with a good old Amp (preferably Overdrive, the red one), even if it isn’t marketed to gamers.
Vitamin Water will also suffice in any circumstance.
I’d try one to see what it’s about and then keep the bottle for a geek conversation peice.
Yea….I just get the bottle and use for…my other energy drinks…
They sell in 2 packs so I will drink one and save the other.
