Syrupy Slimes refresh Japan this month, include in-game item
From Final Fantasy XIII Elixirs to Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory Syrupy Slime drinks, Square Enix and Suntory have Japan sugared -- with a side of hydration. The Syrupy Slime beverages go on sale in Japan on July 13 for about $3.25 and come in Hoimi Cider (blue) and Mera Tropical (orange) "flavors." As Siliconera notes, the item names are based on Dragon Quest spells for heal and frizz, respectively.
The Slime drinks also contain codes for in-game avatar items, accessible using the Dragon Quest "Color Code Scanner" on the DSi. If it seems unlikely you'll ever have the chance to imbibe a slime, drown your sorrows by watching the slapstick Japanese commercial for the beverages on the Suntory site (press the blue button).
