Potion
Wow I didn't realise I was 4 months late on this. I think Gizmodo reported on this back in Dec '05. Anyway, the makers of the Final Fantasy series of games and movies and stuff have finally decided to cash in (some more) on their fans by launching this drink with Suntory. I actually got this off Gamespot. The Final Fantasy XII POTION is set to tie in with their latest game obviously. Gamespot has this live show you can watch called On The Spot, where they had a sampling of the blue pot. The verdict? No HP increase, no buffs, no special whoomph. The taste? It ranged from "flowers... medicine" to "tastes like turtle". Also available in limited edition collector's bottles, which kinda look like embellished chemistry equip, this is one blue drink that I think I'll pass on. I used to be totally obsessed with blue foods. Check out the ad. Still the idea OUGHT to have been great. Wonder why they didn't execute better on the actual product. I suppose they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger or the best medicine is the most bitter. Blah blah blah. Someone should really market mana pots for real and make them taste good. That or put coffee into blue glass perfume bottles.
