The God of War III Slurpee is a Major Letdown

7-Eleven is supposed to be selling a Slurpee in honor of the upcoming Playstation 3 blockbuster God of War III, but the “Kratos Fury” flavor (blood and entrails, perhaps?) may not last until the game’s March 16 launch. The folks over at The Kartel searched for the God of War III Slurpee and came away disappointed. For starters, one of the 7-Eleven stores stopped carrying the flavor due to poor sales, even though it’s supposed to be available until March 31. It was reportedly the most unpopular Slurpee the store had seen in a long time, surpassed in sales even by Fanta Banana.

When the Kartel crew found the illusive Wrath of Kratos at another 7-Eleven, it wasn’t pretty. The consistency was not a typical crisp, icy dropping, but a foamy sludge that “bubbled out of the dispenser in an explosive mess.” It was as if the flavor had been sitting around for a while, and from the taste it was clear to see why: The testers reported that what was supposed to be lime and blackberry combination instead tasted like cough syrup, Sour Patch Kids, sugar and who knows what else. They ended up tossing the vile concoctions. I guess Kratos’ Fury is best directed at Greek gods instead of sugary drinks. [via The Kartel]
