No doubts about that. Sounds like someone's trying to edge in on Bawls territory with the cute potion motif. Someone should ask Square-Enix how their potion drinks went over. |

I think you have that phrase backward.
But anyway...it's a bit expensive, and I've pretty much sworn off of all energy drinks, but I think I just HAVE to try that. If anything, the bottle is really cool!
When I get back from vacation I'll try to order some... |

lol looks cool, but they marketing devision must be retarded over there...
Its the exact same price per "potion" if you buy the 2 pack, or the 144 case. How do they expect to get it into stores if they don't offer a significant discount for buying in bulk 
A retailer would have to offer this for like 5.50 or so per drink just to make a profit, and thats way beyond the price a normal person would pay.
Probably the only way I would ever try this is if it was like 3 bucks and I saw it in a gas station or something and bought it on impulse |

Sometimes companies use this as a way of capitalizing on the human perception that buying in bulk is cheaper. I bet you most people who see that just assume that the largest case is the best value, and completely neglect to do the math. You actually have to be careful when buying from big bulk stores like Sam's Club or Costco because sometimes the stuff that you're buying is the same price that you would normally pay per unit, you're just buying in a larger quantity, and often-times more than you actually need.

If you read the website, it appears that they'll eventually try to get this sold in more stores, but for now it appears to only be available online or in California. I don't think the online sales are meant for retailers to buy so that they can sell them in their chains. It's just a way of making these available to anyone outside of California. |

Evidently each bottle is different (thicker/thinner walls at least)
Looks kind of interesting though, despite the fact that I haven't had an energy drink in probably well over a year.
