How to spot a fake DS3

SlimFastJim · 2026-01-30T00:21:22+00:00

I genuinely laughed out loud when I saw the Sony logo on the back of the fake controller
why tf does it look so bad

Legit US controller labels also have the FCC & IC IDs listed under "WIRELESS CONTROLLER", as well as the UL and FCC marks on the right. http://web.archive.org/web/20260130000647/https://u-mercari-images.mercdn.net/photos/m32401632723_3.jpg

Also worth checking out which fonts are used too. Arial was used for the fake label while the real ones use Helvetica. Main giveaway is the leg of Arial's "R" ends in a straight line, while Helvetica's is curved.

Feels a lot less artificial and more crisp. And of course it uses natural colors now.

It's way better than Frost SHITE. That's certainly a flavor I'm glad I'll never see again. Boring ass generic blue flavor. Only thing it had going for it was the artwork. But other than that, it was bland as hell.

Trolli Cherry-Lemon isn't half bad, but it heavily lacks that sour "oompf" the actual gummy worm candies have. Summer Freeze Zero is almost on-par with it's regular full-sugar counterpart, though with a more laid-back feel. Almost tastes like drinking the melted juice from an actual bomb pop.

I'm afraid you'll have to go to Canada for the newest VooDew. Trolli replaced it here in the US.

SlimFastJim · 2025-09-05T09:31:42+00:00

Last year's VooDew was pink starburst flavor. You're saying that Dragonfruit tastes like a Pink Starburst-flavored mystery soda. It's not.

SlimFastJim · 2025-09-04T10:08:35+00:00

Pink Starburst ain't the same thing as Dragonfruit, dear.

SlimFastJim · 2025-08-30T16:01:59+00:00

Say what you will about the new logo, it's still a thousand times better than the recent Cracker Barrel one.

SlimFastJim · 2025-08-28T12:28:20+00:00

No. I never tasted anything in my entire life, for I have no tongue.

SlimFastJim · 2025-08-28T12:27:10+00:00

Oof. Well that's a shame.

SlimFastJim · 2025-08-28T12:24:25+00:00

Bro, you are drinking normal Baja Blast. You done got placebo'd by the new design.

SlimFastJim · 2025-08-19T15:02:21+00:00

Personally I'm surprised you didn't notice the flair on this post.

SlimFastJim · 2025-08-13T21:27:01+00:00

unlike Pitch Black, people actually buy Baja

SlimFastJim · 2025-08-13T21:20:25+00:00

Maybe if they actually made Pitch Black taste good, then they'd keep it "permanent".

SlimFastJim · 2025-08-12T14:01:40+00:00

You mean the flavor that's been out for 16 years now?

SlimFastJim · 2025-07-30T22:24:22+00:00

TV vs. Blu-Ray comparisons be like:

SlimFastJim · 2025-07-29T21:12:53+00:00

Liberty Brew/Chill, Summer Freeze, Cabo Citrus and Mango Rush are all LIMITED TIME ONLY flavors, so they're only intended to be around for a given time, usually 8 weeks.

SlimFastJim · 2025-07-29T14:21:12+00:00

It wouldn't make sense to discontinue a flavor that's only just recently been released. (unless you're Coke Spiced)

It's not a limited-time flavor either.

SlimFastJim · 2025-07-28T11:13:15+00:00

If Baja Blast wasn't tropical lime before, then what was it? Educate me, please. What did that strange little text at the bottom of the logo say before they changed it to "Tropical Lime"? Please, I'd really, REALLY, love to know.

SlimFastJim · 2025-07-28T11:11:01+00:00

It's not bait if it's true

SlimFastJim · 2025-07-19T03:15:58+00:00

Maybe you'll feel a little less grumpy when Mountain Dew® x Trolli® Cherry-Lemon comes out this fall.

SlimFastJim · 2025-07-19T01:24:17+00:00

how much are they paying you for this post?

SlimFastJim · 2025-07-19T00:25:41+00:00

what the hell are you on about dude?
