As children, we were always taught that ingesting red and/or blue fluids – generally those found in that Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil otherwise known as “the cabinet under the sink” – wasn’t among the better choices we could make, no matter how devilishly tempting it might’ve been.
Only now, however, do we fully comprehend the breadth of our parents’ bounteous wisdom.
For some maniacal reason, Blizzard has decided to pair its uber-successful World of Warcraft franchise with another one of man’s more inexplicably addictive creations: Mountain Dew. The result: a taste bud-burning crusade of what some might even venture to call “flavor.”
The drink comes in two varieties: Alliance Blue (“with a punch of Wild Fruit Flavor”) and Horde Red (“with a blast of Citrus Cherry Flavor”).
Both flavors will attempt to give Bawls – and other gamer-centric energy drinks -- a thorough licking this summer. We'll probably end up downing a bottle or two ourselves in penance for that terrible joke.

One more reason to hate it. Bad enough when it looked like anti-freeze.

Wheres the purple rejuvination potion thats half of each :P ?
It would be cool if they came out with 3 different kinds based on the type of bars your character has rather than the colors of the potions. that way they all could apply to both factions
like yellow for energy, blue for mana and red for a bottle of RAGE

I wish it were so, i'd be tossing out bottles of red instead of pressing buttons, and chugging down blue ones (healer...if you didn't get the joke) Or i'd be selling blue and red ones in the Auction House (Alchemy, Potion making, once again for those who didn't get it)
All ways going, i hope i can get my hands on horde color, because if it is what i think it is, code red is back...and i missed that flavor.
