Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag Like Fort Knox Edition

Wow, interesting! I've had dandelion wine before but never dandelion cola. I'm really curious now.

Organic Mailbag!

dope shoes jeff!

Jeff's use of the knife is terrifying. Hope he doesn't hurt himself.

Amazing seeing Ithaca being repped (?) on a mailbag. It also compulsives me to mail some Cascazilla to California, because god damn their pale ale and nut brown aren't as good as the red. Hashtag internet.

vital energy is SO BAD. i got it for free and hated it. and free stuff always tastes better.

Jeff you win for the Bam Bam Bigelow reference!

Silly Brad. You don't kill sheep for their wool.

I can't thank Ryan enough for the Oxford comma comment - it was just what I was thinking in the moment as well </englishnerdjoke>

I was half expecting them to find a severed leg under all of that moist packaging.

I lost it at, "thick protein shot" lol

Also, Drew just standing there, not saying anything with a crow bar in his hand is slightly unsettling.

I'm fairly certain with all the energy drinks and booze around GB will start their own 4Loco front,where they make a crapton of money,Russell Crowe hunts them down,and Jay-Z does a soundtrack.

Real bad audio.

For all the drinks they get, they should really do a hell of a lot more taste tests. I don't care too much about "new material to mine", just wanna hear them talking about mouthfeel.

PS "235 is the only three digit number on this box; let's try this lock" - pure adventure game logic. I thought about a letter-to-number translation of CBS, but alas, S is not of the first nine numbers. Also, slightly disappointed in both their decision to simply cut the damn lock off, and that adventure game characters aren't as sensible.

Drew pulling 775 that quick is almost better than had it actually been the combo.

Hey, cool Just remember when all else fails, shoot that guy.

Also, "Prometheus Spring" makes me think drinking it will cause your body to dissolve and allow your DNA to spread.

That's the first thing I thought of as well!

So as usual, I can't hear anyone but Brad...

Dude!! I've been wanting to try dandelion and burdock cordial for the last seven years.

In Soviet Russia, audience IS bar. I swear GB has the best job in the world. You guys probably shouldn't be sharing drinks like that. You all have a tendency of passing around viruses amongst yourselves. At least you have something to consume other than Gamespot branded energy drinks.

Jeff powering down at the end was great.

Drew brought a crowbar to the party!

Why are young men so useless when it comes to packaging presents... I mean COME ON!

THATS SEXIST.

I was sure the lock comb was going to be 7-7-5 =(

That was my first, most instinctive answer too.

Jeff's face after drinking the lemon drink was amazing

Drinks really need to make a return to the bombcast. Thanks Brad for at least putting it out there!

I want things too :(

If you have a good bright light you can crack those locks in under a minute by watching the spine very carefully as you spin each number. If not, you go through all combinations manually, faster than you expect. Not that I've done these things a bunch..
 
Tullamore Dew is alright and goddamnit I think I might have to go downtown and pick a bottle of it upl

Ooh Fentimans <3

I say "yes" to energy drink tasting on the bombcast! Bring it back!

Yeah they should've used some pirate grog to destroy the lock.

Finally, someone has come up with a good use for all my old socks!

Love Fentimans beverages, 'Party in Mouth' action.

Someday you guys will learn to not point the camera at the GIANT WALL OF WINDOWS.

Dandelion and Burdock is good stuff! Doesn't taste anything like you might guess.

fentiman's curiosity cola is AMAZING

Any one notice the copy of Pokemon conquest do you think they'll do a quick look of it ?

Marely's Mellow Mood will knock you out in 20 minutes, tops.

I like how Drew's touch muted the cam mic. That man has some sort of superpower, I swear.

Drew with a crowbar Hell yes!

Great mailbag!

You guys should enjoy the Ithaca Pale Ale! I live in central NY, and that stuff is pretty popular here. Ubu Ale is another great beer from Lake Placid actually

Fentimans is great, and dandelion and burdock (D&B) colloquially) is also awesome. It's made made by a UK company up Newcastle way, and is proper traditionally made pop.

I nearly lost it when Jeff told that first Shaggy Dog joke. Man that was dumb.

honestly its kind of lame to send them generic outlet store drinks. I've had or seen 80% of these drinks. I also live in western NY

Ryan's heavy breathing started to get under my skin there for a bit.
