They should have put the bean in the dirt then watered it with the energy drink - it's got what plants crave.

Or you can always use the real dictionary and get this:

1.Slang.
a.plunder; booty.
b.money; valuables.

A prime example of how UD is for people who cannot spell. A more accurate description:

Shwag/Schwag:
1.Low grade marijuana.

SWAG:
1. Acronym for Stuff We All Get.
2. Any free or extra goods.

SWAG pronounced as Schwag: The speaker is drunk or ill informed.

What if the anti-zombie seed is actually a seed meant to spread zombies? Or maybe it's like the plants in the Happening. OoOoOoOo~!

That was hilarious in a very random way.  A cup of dirt sounds like a sweet goody. Were there any worms in it?

we've settled on "schwag" as our preferred spelling. I've never said it "swag" and google produces more results for schwag than shwag. and I'd plant the anti-zombie bean if there was enough light down here to support a plant.

Plant the seed! Who knows what illicit hallucinogenic plant you'll end up growing? It is popcap, after all.

It was funny that it was suspected they put their own label on the energy drink but used another can e.g. Red Bull?

The dirt is an insult in the face by the developers:L

Those pea seeds look eerily similar to Bellsprout. Plant them, and maybe it'll evolve!

That's awesome. Love that game soo much, I've almost completed just about everything in that game. Just need 2 more survival challanges left but damn thats awesome.

Thinking about it i wonder what a Left 4 Dead pack would be? Energy drink that says Molotov cocktail? a bottle of pills and some other stuff packed intoa  health pack.

Anyway, as others said, Plant that seed. Let's just hope its not a venus flytrap plant...

I like the seed and soil SWAG... it reminds me of a simpler time in Kindergarden. Also an energy drink last for one time but the bean will grow a plant and that will give more seed and give more plants and so on... I see it all in the long term. :)
