Super scrumptious.

All I've won so far are gamer points though, and I don't even have a 360.

There is something mildly perturbing about being labeled as a "gamer".

I prefer not to be seen as just another individual in a mindless heard, classified by my interests and not by 'me'. I suppose the real thing bugging me is that there are marketing teams all across the globe generating ineffectively simple demographics of people.

One of those issues that isn't a true problem, but a frustration. I don't need my own flavor of Mountain Dew, thanks.

Mountain Dew was there first with XBox. Dr Pepper needs to move to Nintendo or something.

I'm sure they wanted to target a demographic which actually has money to spend and one which isn't too "sophisticated" to consider their product below them.

In reality it is a lose-lose-lose situation for them. The few consumers who fit their targeted group would likely rather be drinking beer or any number of other alcoholic beverages other than some cheesy "gamer" beverage. Those remaining who succumb to cowardice or sense are likely be too offended by the blatantly apparent scheme to want to buy the specially branded product.

I C WAT U DID THAR. Not really.

Anyways, why not try for the computer? I'm sure all the old men living in their's mom's basement shooting "BOOM HEADSHOT" playing CounterStrike needs some sort of commercially whored drink  such as Dr. Pepper, Moutain Dew, or Coca Cola.

Sadly, the "old men living in their mom's basement" demographic usually lacks the funds to purchase said products, and those that can afford the occasional carbonated beverage are already inclined to purchase existing brands...they don't need their own brew of "Basement Dweller Dew" to be sold to them.

That being said...there are some products out there... http://manapotions.com/  ...that do play off this sad misunderstanding.
