Well, here's something we didn't think we'd be reporting on today. The popular energy drink company G-Fuel has announced that it will be releasing a special formula based on the boss character 'The Great Mighty Poo' from Conker's Bad Fur Day.
Shipping to customers in April 2023, the concoction is said to take inspiration from The Great Mighty Poo's favourite food: corn. It'll cost a rather hefty $59.99 but will also come packed with a Youtooz 'The Mighty Poo' vinyl figure (which actually looks pretty cool and we almost want one ourselves...). You can pre-order one for yourself by heading over to the G-Fuel website right now.
Here's some more information from G-Fuel:
🎵He is THE GREAT MIGHTY POO, and he’s going to throw his sh … 🎵
Err, you know the rest of the song.
Inspired by Rare Ltd.’s hilarious classic platformer “Conker’s Bad Fur Day,” G FUEL’s flavor scientists ventured into the bowels of The Great Mighty Poo’s lair to pick out the finest morsels from his aromatic abode: CORN! As a matter of fact, we’re positively FLUSH with juicy corn niblets (don’t worry, we’ve cleaned them off)!
Get energized for any “Bad Fur Day” that comes your way with this delicious Tropical Corn Soda mix, whether you find yourself surfing on a river of lava, battling evil teddy bears or, yes, encountering a giant mountain of poo who just happens to sing “Sloprano.” Each Collector’s Box comes with a 40-serving tub featuring Conker, Berri and the Great Mighty Poo himself, along with an exclusive Youtooz 'The Mighty Poo' Vinyl Figure!
While the vinyl figure certainly looks nice, we're nevertheless not entirely convinced by a drink based on, well... faeces. We're definitely not keen on trying it out ourselves, so if you wind up getting one of these, be sure to let us know how it tastes!
What do you make of G-Fuel's pooey energy formula? Will you be pre-ordering one for yourself? Head down to the comments and let us know! Oh, and have some more caviar.

I uh... Will not be partaking.
Just.....no. No, no, no, no, no, for the love of God NO.
Oh. OH! It tastes like corn!
Okay.
@Bobb I just read that portion as well. THEY JUST HAD TO GO AND MAKE IT EVEN WORSE.
I love Conker as much as the next guy but good lord NO
I wonder if it will taste like sweet corn.
I'm kinda glad Nintendo doesn't partake in these sort of product. Could you imagine Lon Lon Milk or Splatoon Splash flavours? (for those wondering the latter is calamari flavour)
Is this some kind of twisted joke?!
So is it a laxative as well? For a drink called 'mighty poo' you'd think it would be.
I almost retched reading that
People here have clearly never heard of Jones Soda and all their odd flavors.
As someone who drinks G Fuel's energy formula mixes every now and then as a coffee substitute I have a feeling this might be their April Fool's Day drop, the theming kind of lines up for their past April Fool' Day releases (a Sanic-themed chili dog flavored mix and a Naruto-themed miso ramen-flavored mix were released previously) and the April 2023 shipping date are a bit of a giveaway.
That said if you're picking this up like I will it should only be as a collector's item or if you're insane enough to actually drink it, I know some people have actually done that for previous April Fool's Day flavors and they described them as being absolutely awful.
@theModestMouse I dunno, I'd guess at least a few would remember that Nintendo worked with them for a Metroid Prime Hunters cross-promotion
@ZebZed Hey, at the end of the day, if it is indeed an April Fools' gag, it's certainly a harmless one. The corn flavour makes me think that that's the case. I genuinely hope that it's a brown colour, though.
@Link-Hero I'm pretty sure we're all fully aware that it's not actually.....that. It's moreso the fact that it's a flavour of drink themed around.....this guy.
@OwenGamer22
"Is this some kind of twisted joke?!"
uhh... yeah?
@ZebZed
it's funny, conker's BFD was revealed in April of 199X and people thought it was n April fool's joke. 😆
Uuuuhhh... It's actually "Mi mi mi miiiiiiiiii...", not the 5 you put down
@Link-Hero Now THAT is one hell of a quote.
As if bro, WTH why?
No way I'd be able to drink that. One can of that stuff, and (to paraphrase the Great Mighty Poo) a huge supply of tish would come from my chocolate starfish. Energy drinks always kickstart the final stage of the digestive process for me, if you know what I mean.
Plus, they make my heart sound like a weed eater, as if it's going to burst out of my chest like a Xenomorph. So I tend to stay away from them. If I want caffeine, I'll do soda, tea, or coffee. No more energy drinks for me.
but that figurine should have corn for teeth... Where did they think he got that lovely grin?
I never order G-Fuel from their official website, but just like peach rings and wumpa fruit, if I see this in the gas station I frequent, I'll pick it up.
But will it give me a lovely grin after drinking it?
I'd laugh if they went for a proper advertising campaign, with the slogan "How about some scat, you little..."
Cool but is kind of surprising they allow merch and use of the characters that way but not a new game, movie or otherwise because it's tone and themes are too much for this day and age compared to how right it was in the 90s/00s era where cartoony stuff was normal to have adult jokes in kids and adult animation (I never minded and of the content in it and I've enjoyed what I have experienced of it in Rare Replay so far but still, it was a game Rare made for themselves and it showed can't get anymore made this game in your 20s or so with freedom to make whatever you want and as nonsensical as you want).
I guess if that's how they can keep the IP relevant it's merch shrugs. Better than just seeing a HoloLens tech demo of Conker though. That and also nostalgia pulling and trying to find IPs they haven't done yet. To me this is like making a Duke Nukem G Fuel and very very suggestive things they could put for that wouldn't go well I bet while this is a fair passable way besides iconic moment from Conker. I always find it weird how some companies handle nostalgia but sure.
For the sake of something fun April fools or otherwise it's fine though. The descriptions are 'sigh' trying to be creative but does come off a bit weird, at least they are trying though.
Great Mighty Poo is a reasonably accurate description for the taste of energy drinks.
I bet it tastes like shi...CENSORED
I'm laughing at the number on the figure box.
now its conkers time to shine on getting random merchandise and anything other than a new game. hopefully this at least leads to a rerelease in the future
also why
Yes because nothing is more appetizing then something inspired by a sentient mass of diarrhea. -_-
@Link-Hero We know it's not. That doesn't make the association any less gross however.
