Gamer Grub: First choice or last resort? | Oct 6, 2008 3:25 pm
[...] only have the four flavors right now, but the creators of these snack foods have a blog post that asks for people to share their favorite flavor and/or lets you suggest more flavor [...]
Peter Newton | Oct 8, 2008 2:11 am
I suggest 2 new flavors.
Nacho Flavor, Spicey / Salsa Flavor
Dan | Oct 8, 2008 8:59 am
Perhaps something fruit flavored too? Maybe strawberry/banana, or a citrus orange/lemon
MajorDamage | Oct 8, 2008 10:07 am
How about a flavour for the flight sim community? Something with anchovies in maybe - they’re good for you I think.
Melody | Oct 8, 2008 7:52 pm
How about something for the casual gamer, a little more playful - like cocoa pebbles mixed with corn nuts
And maybe something a little racy for the M-Rated gamer with chocolate covered coffee beans and beef jerky?

Have you folks considered making a line of Gamergrub for the Nut-Allergy crowd?
FireKitty | Oct 10, 2008 2:19 am
Anything with chocolate involved works for me! Maybe something with a jalapeno flavor to it (But not actual jalapenos, as I suspect the burning sensation would be distracting), though, or a mix of chocolate and salty and/or sour flavors (chocolate cake + salt and vinegar chips is more awesome than you might think).
And I know you said above that you planned to remove the genres, but how about something for us RPG-lovers? We’re likely to spend more time in front of our systems than all the other genres combined!

Make a RED BULL / V one.
for the ‘TRUE’ hardcore gamers.
Haha nah im kiddin. :)
calculon000 | Oct 10, 2008 9:28 am
This stuff is EXACTLY the “food in a cup” from WALL-E. (Not that that’s a bad thing.) Just make a list of all the cup food flavors they have in that movie for more ideas. Better yet, you guys could totally take a marketing opportunity and release a line of cup foods from the movie.
Examples: Breakfast Eggs in a cup, Cupcakes in a cup, Nachos in a cup, Meatloaf in a cup, ect
Agent Cactus | Oct 11, 2008 1:55 am
Pomegranate flavor.
James Campbell | Oct 11, 2008 11:37 am
Hey, it was awesome to meet your team at E-For-All. My dev group will be one of your best customers. The product was amazing. Getting another flavor that is more based on granola and without peanuts is critical. One of my guys thought it was great…but then his face went numb! It was a great laugh but to some, serious issues would have happened.

i think that the best thing for gaming wth is chinese food. like noddles, egg rolls, chicken etc. oh and nachos.
Maiken | Oct 11, 2008 5:48 pm
Why not just fill one with chocolate sauce and coffee beans? sure the nutrition facts will be off the scale, but who going to complain?
Reena | Oct 11, 2008 9:19 pm
maybe vegetable ramen ?
or like somebody else said, chinese food.
NACHOS FTW DO NACHOS.
Kasey Crawford | Oct 12, 2008 5:48 pm
=Fun Flavors=
=============
Cheeseburger
Banana Split
Whipped cream and strawberries/cherries/ect
- Another thought was any flavor you(gamergrub) choose just something Super Caffeinated
=Odd Flavors=
=============
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Seasoned Steak
Pancakes and Syrup with sausage bites (breakfast gamergrub) - I couldn’t decide if this was fun or odd :-/
Those are my ideas.
justalistener | Oct 12, 2008 11:12 pm
wtf are you people thinking. action pizza? strat chocolate? just name them according to what they are. why make it like your advertising to toddlers.
Phillip Lentz | Oct 13, 2008 12:32 am
As mentioned befor: Cheese-Nachos with Salsa and Guacamole Flavoured crunchy-stuff.
But, besides pizza, chocolate, PB&J and chips do Gamers also eat with pleasure? Ramen! Ramen (Chinese noodles) and 5-Minute-Soups. Imagin’ how awesome it would be to eat without any need of cooked water! :D
and yeah, of course Steak. Like everything Kasey said.
DO WANT NAO! :D
Joe Holland | Oct 15, 2008 3:47 pm
Poutine in a bottle! fries cheese and gravy mmmm mmmm
Jaime Bulmer | Oct 15, 2008 3:47 pm
I wants some MMO Poutine!!

Julie Wynne | Oct 16, 2008 9:17 pm
Nachos and Ramen seem to be popular, and I agree with both. Could expand to Ranch, cheesey, or Spicey nachos. I’d like to see maybe some coffee or fruit flavors, and definately something nut-free for the allergic consumer. Popcorn flavor would be nice.
What about some drink flavors? Like Mountain Dew, Root Beer, Coke. Would have to change the names for copyright of course, but would still be cool to try!
2BaMastr | Oct 18, 2008 2:40 pm
Role-Playing Pretzels n’ Cheddar
Guitar Band Licorice and Jalapenos
Survival Horror Cherries and (S)Cream (with dark chocolate)
Ironic Freeware Indie-Game Cool Ranch
Pokeblocks
Kirok | Oct 19, 2008 8:53 pm
In my opinion a minimalist design for the packaging would more likely attract the demographic you guys are going for (which I assume is hardcore gamers between the ages of 18 and 34). The current package art makes it look a lot like a children’s snack and will likely discourage many people from buying it.
Julian Von Rose | Oct 23, 2008 9:24 am
I have a suggestion for not a flavor but the way the flavors are presented. I feel as though you think that we (gamers) are foolish enough to comsume a product merely on the basis that it is for us by us. No my friend we are not. If you want to really get the hardcore crowd interested change the names to something a bit more engaging and game oriented, Action Pizza and Strategy Choclate just don’t cut it. Try to think of something a gamer would like. For oh say “Action Pizza” change it to something like “Warriors Rations” or something of that ilk. I would never buy “Action Pizza” for two reasons, the name insults my intelligence and the form of packaging would make me feel like a child.
Flying Noodle | Oct 24, 2008 10:34 pm
I think taco flavoured would be sick, and also some sort of a fruit may work such as a strawberry or lime flavoured. Even something as simple as bbq flavour (such as chips) may taste good as well. And lastly, I’m not spelling flavour wrong, its how its done in Canada
rion | Nov 1, 2008 1:27 pm
dude potato chips
Jeff | Nov 2, 2008 11:58 am
Ok as a group of gamers how could you have missed the illustrious hot pocket flavor? It does not have to be original either we can do some philly hot pockets ^_^
Jeff | Nov 2, 2008 12:04 pm
hadoken hot wings
Alex | Nov 4, 2008 3:52 am
Nacho flavoured
RPG
afas | Nov 6, 2008 4:42 am
cookies and cream
coconut
ranch
jalapeno
teriyake
carrot cake
peanut butter and toffee
pistachio
maple and brown sugar
cinnamon
something that tastes like frosted flakes
grape drink
Deez | Nov 7, 2008 4:52 pm
Bacon with bacon and a side of bacon.
Ben | Nov 18, 2008 4:42 pm
Without coming up with silly names, I think the following would probably be something people could get behind.
1. Nacho
2. Spicy Guacamole
3. Sour Cream and Onion
4. S’mores
5. Maple Granola
6. Mongolian Beef/Chicken
7. Taco
8. Strawberry Shortcake
9. BBQ - spicy or sweet
10. Lime and Salsa
IceFenrir | Nov 20, 2008 5:23 pm
I agree with Ben’s flavours above. Great ideas!
I’d like to add that you should do a cheddar flavour. As a Canadian, I know that most of my fellow Canucks love cheddar, and it would probably sell well here. You could put it on little crackers like Cheese Nips, or come up with your own way.
John | Nov 22, 2008 3:01 pm
I think something with a cinnamon/sugary blend may have a good thing going for it. With the added nutreints you put in your grub already combined with sugary goodness, come on :D
Poptart | Nov 23, 2008 6:23 pm
I second the suggested ramen and beef jerky flavors. I dunno how the ramen would work out, but… that’s not the point.
Maybe you could take the beef jerky flavor a step up and try something like small, square blocks of beef jerky coated in a crispy potato sort of coating… I’m sure it’d be full of protein, which is something we gamers need, considering how prone we are to starvation.
I’d enjoy something kind of cake-like. Like what would happen if you took a Twinkie and filled it to bursting with Nutella and then deep fried it.
Uh… Don’t mind me.
Ralph | Dec 7, 2008 8:47 pm
Hi some snacks that are really awesome are coconut coated peanuts(you can get them at Asian supermarkets) so i think coconut flavored gamergrub would be good also
CAFFEINE all gamers need it so why not make gamergrub with caffeine you could make it like red bull flavored or just add it to all gammergrub or just in to the wasabi flavor for that extra kick :D
what would be the best it jolt large charge creamy soda flavored gammergrub here in Australia it is one of the most popular caffeinated drinks sold at foodland (other retailers do not sell it )
Jon | Dec 15, 2008 1:05 pm
MMORPG Cherry Creme Cake
Dragonslayer Spicy Nachos
uhm…Space Marine Pretzels and cheese?
Philip | Dec 30, 2008 4:33 pm
Cheesecake! MMMMMM!
Philip | Dec 30, 2008 4:33 pm
Also, I second the mentions of Nacho.
Also something sweet and spicy.
Zargon | Jan 19, 2009 5:12 pm
However it’s healthiness might be argued over, Liquorice is the best damn flavor in the world and badly needs to be represented in teh gamer grub “arsenal”. (Also, Liquorice sticks/roots by themselves are quite healthy, I think. Usually served with mounds of sugar when in candies though.)
Rachel | Jan 20, 2009 4:10 pm
Flavours that would be interesting enough:
- hot chocolate and marshmallow
- cinnamon and apple pie
- seafood/paella/sushi
- banoffi pie
- wild red berries
- custard and pineapple
- chicken curry
- tuna and cheese melt
- cream cheese and bacon
(Something pickled would be nice too but not sure what) =o)
WonderGamer | Jan 20, 2009 8:17 pm
Cheez Burger FTW!!!!
hjgj | Feb 8, 2009 5:57 pm
dill pickle
Jerry | Feb 10, 2009 11:00 pm
Artichoke/avocado combo. P.S. the wasabi tastes GREAT, but it might be a tad too spicy…
Sane Guy | Feb 15, 2009 3:42 am
You are retarded. PLZ DIE K THANKZ!!!
Jarrod | Mar 10, 2009 11:39 pm
My two favorite doritos flavors were a sweet lime and cheeseburger, they were experimental and unfortuently discontinued but they were awesome!!!
modman | May 16, 2009 2:20 pm
umm…
1.burger
2.ice cream(sherbet,chocolate,strawberry)
3.mountain dew
How about not a flavor but a drink. You guys need to make some thing like a drink and put it in the same pouch shape like the grub(i love drinking those things while gaming i just don’t like the flavors)
robert | May 20, 2009 6:12 am
nacho mexiacan spicy something along them lines and salt and vinigar
Tony | May 22, 2009 7:51 pm
Steak flavored? Nachos maybe. I’d like a apple too.
PolarBoom | May 29, 2009 1:55 am
Love the PB&J! I was thinking along the lines of a Buffalo Wild Wings flavor, Chile& Lime, and deffinately agree with something a bit more on the fruit side like Pomagranite and Mango or Melon something or other. Keep up the good work, and pls try to get these things online so I can buy more! ALL YOUR GAMERGRUB ARE BELONG TO US!
Jeanie | Jun 1, 2009 9:16 pm
Some gamers are allergic to peanuts. Try making some gamer grub that does not have nuts or peanuts in it.
Dessyl | Jun 6, 2009 2:52 pm
You have a lot of the bases already. But you are missing one crucial area: solid cheesy one. Simple answer is nacho flavored.
Also, I suggest adding a poll to your site to get a good reading on what the people want. I vote cheese/nacho
Terry Lewis | Jun 9, 2009 5:20 pm
How about Taco or Burrito? Or if you wanna try something daring what about Cheeseburger? (beef jerky bits, cheese, tomatoes, etc) or if u wanna go crazy, what about an Elvis fav, fried peanutbutter and banana sandwich (to sit aside PB&J) :o)
Mando_man | Jun 9, 2009 9:39 pm
I think many of the flavors expressed are too cliche. I think that doing something out of the ordinary would be a good idea.
However, Ramen is kind of different. I used to be lazy and add a little bit of garlic salt to crushed up Ramen, and thats pretty tasty.
I bet if you add in a couple of your different protein ingredients with the Ramen as a carb base it would be pretty good.
Call it Dry Soup or something, or get a deal with Ramen, it would be extremely inexpensive (99 cents per Ramen pkg) if they are making money, then think of the profit margin….
Joe | Jun 10, 2009 2:41 am
I think you should consider the Nacho one for sure, or something similar to Dorritos.
Perhaps a coffee flavored one for the late-night java heads?
ICE CREAM. A strawberry or something fruity that would “taste healthy” would be great. Guiltless eating.
Dan Burch | Jun 19, 2009 10:32 am
Apple Pie
Shane | Jun 20, 2009 6:03 pm
An ice cream flavor would be pretty cool. You could use bits of waffle cone, chocolate pieces, vanilla-flavored..somethings! Haha.. Or maybe even bits of freeze-dried ice cream. That would be cool.
For something else Asia-inspired, something utilizing teriyaki would be pretty cool, or maybe arare with its soy sauce flavored additions.
Or maybe even Hawaiian, with macadamia nuts, dried pineapple, dried mango, some chocolate..sounds yummy.
Ryu | Jun 23, 2009 12:33 am
Nachos
Cheese curls, spicy bread bits, etc.
Fruit salad.
with apple chips, golden raisins, dried pineapple, and sweet bread, possibly with some sweet vanilla cookies to bring it all together.
BBQ
Spicy bread bits, little pieces of beef jerky (the good kind, not slim jims) and tiny potato chips.
Taco/Burrito (maybe just call it Fiesta)
Beef Jerky, Chicken Jerky, Cheese curls, something tiny tortilla chips.
Notice none of these employed NUTS. some people are allergic to them all together.
Yadda | Jun 29, 2009 10:25 pm
I support the chocolate covered coffee beans and such idea fully; I LOVE chocolate covered espresso beans, and throw those in the chocolate flavor and that may be my new favorite.
Also, I LOVE Gamer Grub, and would love to share it with my mom, but she’s allergic to nuts and has asthma. Could you come up with a Gamer Grub flavor for people with nut allergies?
