I know I'm a little late writing about this, but I bought Halo Reach for Xbox 360 the day it came out. I enjoyed the game, but you know what I enjoy more? Tie-ins and cross-promotions.


I just found out about this promotion because I was getting some gas at speedway the other day and saw some Doritos with some Halo chums on the bag. Unfortunately, they aren't any new flavors of Doritos. Just standard cool ranch and cheesy nacho, but with their bags all haloey. Needless to say I bought a bag of each.



On the back of each of the bags is a code you can type in to be entered into a drawing for the prize of your choice. They have drawings for copies of Halo:Reach, Halo Xboxes, controllers, Halo hoodies, and some other stuff. I tried to put the codes in but I could only get one to work because they were printed so poorly. It didn't matter because I never win these kind of things anyway and this was no exception.

While poking around the site I noticed that the main promotion of the contest wasn't even Doritos, it was Mountain Dew. I thought maybe the world would be at peace again and Mountain Dew Game Fuel was back. Or maybe even a brand new flavor, but sadly it's just the regular ass Mountain Dew flavors with some Halo kats on the bottles.



There we have a shitty close up of some Halo-ized 20 ounce bottles of Code Red and Voltage flavors. Apparently each bottle has a different character, but I'm just a casual fan so all I know is that they're all spacemen. Which guy is Halo? Unlike the Dorito bags these codes are printed under the caps so you don't have to worry about little junior Beano son of a bitch going into a store and writing down codes from Dorito bags.

So if you like Halo, Mountain Dew, Doritos, or awesome shit, than this contest is for you.



Here's a pic of all of the 20 ounce Mountain Dew bottles together like a family. The empty one was a bottle of orange Livewire but I was thirsty. Like, mad thirsty.

Later.....
