8th-Circuit had a story on this, and while it didn't pass under my nose as an editor, it's up on the site:
http://8th-circuit.com/?q=node/422
What is it, though?
It's Tentacle Grape.

Tentacle Grape is everyone's favorite, new, and delicious energy drink. And with a name and image like that, you can't help but find it funny.
In fact, it's marketed to the so called Otaku, Comic Book Fans, Gamers, and the like. But order now, and you can get free condoms!
It's actually a hilarious name, in my eyes, and I imagine it's going to have brand recognition. Anyways, the press release.
QuoteMNEMOSYNE RELEASES NEW SODA, TENTACLE GRAPE

Six packs are currently available for pre-order at www.tentaclegrape.com for $15.99 plus shipping.

Tentacle Grape branded condoms
I want one.
Anyone who buys that doesn't need condoms anyways.

Just because you wouldn't, doesn't mean others don't.
I should go to Circuit City to go buy some.
I'll try some if they sell it here. Most likely in a place like Hot Topic, they carry stuff like this.
Quick, someone email Fox News the website and let them stew over it and inaccurately report the press release for the lulz.
I wonder what the orange flavor will be called...

Cherry needs a guro pun.
That's hilarious.
I'll take 20.
I might pre-order it, because it's grape.

The question is, does it TASTE good?
Who cares.
If you guys are going to buy it, use this link:
http://www.tentaclegrape.com/buy.php?xyz=65
That way NSF gets $1.50 if you buy it. I'm going to look into getting some.

Well, if it tasts like crap, then I do.
Funny name =/= good product, no matter how insanly funny and awesome the name name might be. (Which it is)

Uh, I'll tell you right now that there was obviously a hell of a lot of research put into it. Otherwise the name would suck. Companies don't make poop, typically, when it comes to things like that.
And I have no plans of drinking it.

yes tell Fox News so Darknessthecurse and I can rant about how utterly pathetic they are!
NSF is an affiliate of the makers of Tentacle Grape?
That won't scare away users. =P
I'll wait until they make orange soda. Either way, I'm not ordering soda online when it costs $15 for a six pack.

It's worth it, considering it's more or less an energy drink. Plus Tuppy, bumper stickers and condoms are great free gifts.

I agree with that, but why not wait for this to show up in stores?
If only it was orange soda. I guess they need most of 2009 to come up with hentai related fruit puns.

Like it: Y/n?
I don't know.
No.

Okay, so it was funny the first time, but when you carry it on like everyone has, it gets old real quick.
So what? I seem to recall the Peach Avatar fad, among other things. It'll die off in due time, no need to whine about it.
So, is Tentacle Grape made with real sugar?
