Wait, what? Mountain Dew and Doritos team up with Xbox - Polidicks

No, seriously. [IMG]http://www.destructoid.com//ul/255816-aaheader.jpg[/IMG] [quote] In what is either the most hilarious or most disgusting move ever, a new website called [URL="http://www.dewanddoritos.com/"]Dew & Doritos[/URL] has opened to co-promote snack foods and Microsoft. Yes, the long-running partnership between the Xbox brand and Doritos is in full effect for the Xbox One. Promising an upcoming "unprecedented experience," the brains behind Mountain Dew and Doritos have "the next level of play" planned for this fall. Apparently this is the biggest promotion the quasi-food company has ever had. Even [URL="http://yfrog.com/scaled/landing/28/g0je.jpg"]Doritos Pope[/URL] must be impressed!

Talk about a stereotype being fulfilled.

This cant be real, no. I refuse to believe this is real.

Actually thought this was satire for a moment

Does this mean the Kinect will pester you to buy Doritos and Dew? Because that's hilarious.

I don't know why it's such a ridiculous idea, there is probably a lot of overlap between the Xbox-playing young males and the Mountain Dew chugging, Dorito eating young males.

I guess at least now you can use Kinect and not get your Doritos fingers on your controller...

Do they not realise that they are laughing stocks because of this? I'm sure money talks and for every cocked eyebrow you have at least 100 lowest common denominator consumers lapping it up. I mean "the next level of play" "Unprecedented experience" It's a fucking bag of crisps and a fizzy drink coupled with a video game console.

As much as I like mountain dew. This is stupid. (Don't ask me why I like it. I just do.)

Microsoft found a gatling gun and at this point they've shot their foot so much it might as well be a tunnel to China.

it's a good combination because what else are hyped up twelve year olds eating and drinking

Par for the course, Microsoft. Thanks for demonstrating yet again that your true customers are the corporations you want partnerships with... instead of the people who actually play your games.

What is next? Dewritos, Mountain Dew flavored Nachos, or Doridew, Doritoflavored Mountain Dew?

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;40971843]I used to have respect for him[/QUOTE] Eh, I still do. That doritos thing was a little ridiculous but he seems to have a genuine passion for the industry and he represents it confidently. I still have a lot of respect for him for defending Mass Effect on Fox News way back when.

i love mountain dewritos this will usher in a new era of gaming thank you xbox

Do you guys hear that? It's the sound of diabetes and regret.

hahaha its like they watched all those shitty mlg parody montages and thought thats actually what gamers consider cool and desirable
