I don't see what the problem is; You can drink it, save it as a collector's item, or use it for it's phallic abilities (Female friends enjoy gifts <3 ). It just seems so versitile to me

When I first saw the bottle (before reading the article, the first thing I noticed was the Shinra logo. In fact I hadn't even linked the shape to a penis until I read the article.

Brian is either gay or has issues.

That's Dolomite baby!

Seriously, is this a Final Fantasy drink, or Futurama? It has dolomite (they could have used any mineral there) and royal jelly!

Dolomite was covering Fry's dog when it was fossilized, and royal jelly was the stuff Leela spilled on the couch in the Bee episode where Fry dies, and the Royal Jelly regenerates him.

Or am I the only Futurama fan here?

They say it's inspired by Sephiroth so that would explain the taste and high chance of death.

In regards to Dolomite being a nutritional supplement, "A far safer strategy is to avoid using dolomite as a supplement altogether" according to Wikipedia, mostly because Dolomite often forms around lead ore deposits. So if the taste of this one doesn't kill you, the potential dolomite/lead cocktail might!

OH SHIT NOT ANOTHER ONE.

I bet this time there will be casualties, seeing how "wonderful" the last formula tasted.

Actually my friend in SE said there were some casualties in the office when they had a cooking contest using the potions as part of a recipie seeing who could make the "best" tasting food with it.

Apparently the bread 2 guys made knocked them out fo the office for a few days upon ingestion of it.

Blue_Six — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 06:07:05 MDT

I would buy one, or rather, I would pre-order one this very minute because as a collectible, 33 bucks is a drop in the bucket. Especially looking at how limited the production run is.

Some people don't realize the "purpose" of limited editions I guess =/

But then again, I pre-ordered and bought the Advent Pieces box for upwards of 600 Dollars and find joy in the fact that it resides under my bed, unopened.

God I wish Lik-Sang were still around, bet they'd offer pre-orders on this :_(

SE need to change the marketing for these things. The standard FFXII one you could get on store shelves should have been Potion, the limited FFXII one should have been a Hi-Potion. For 3,000 yen that should be a Mega Elxir.

@JTM:

One of the video game sites (can't remember if it was Kotaku) reviewed the drink last year and hated it. I did a quick search for the review but didn't come across it. Anyway, I can't remember the exact words, but essentially I walked away from reading the review with the impression that it tasted like ass. Bad ass.

@Maldron: Thanks, that was a good laugh. If it werent so damned expensive I would buy it just because it looks pretty. Please no jokes... it's just a damn cool bottle. I would be way too tempted to drink it and then i would feel like a fool for wasting $33. Then again buying it and not drinking it would be a bigger waste in a way. I'm so conflicted (seriously no jokes!).

Why is everyone so obsessed with its shape? There are tons of items with similar designs that no one is harping on about... What's so special about this one that makes these kinda comments come out of the woodwork?

Actually the first thing this reminded me of was one of those bomb thingies with a orb in the middle that's apparently extremely volatile and would explode if it touched the sides...
