The line to pick your badge for tomorrow's 2010 BlizzCon remains a bit of an endurance test. With hundreds of fellow players, you'll be waiting for hours in a line that snakes around the convention center. The usual array of pizza boxes and fast food wrappers lay strewn about, but there's one more relief for the hungry and afflicted line waiters this year. A food cart travels up and down the line, selling baked goods ostensibly provided by
Cookie the Murloc, the Defias' chef, fruit from
Stranglethorn Vale, sweets from
Smokywood Pastures, and bottled water that doubles as a rejuvenation potion, according to the cart's sign. I have to say, those prices don't exactly inspire Heroism in me or anything, but hey. If you're hungry and stuck in line, you do what you gotta do. Maybe next year that Taco stand will finally rebrand themselves Murloco's Tacos.
For high res pics of the cart and more, check the gallery below.

Is the cat in the third picture supposed to be "Cookie's Cat" or did you just throw it in there so everyone swoons over it's cuteness?
Kenmoe Oct 21st 2010 6:24PM
Mmm, delicious cats...

Happiness is a warm engine, it would seem.

3$ for water? Ouch.
Iirdan Oct 21st 2010 6:30PM
For water? No! $3 for Bottled Rejuvenation. With that, you wouldn't need a pocket tree healer!
You'd be a sucker NOT to buy it! Unless you're a druid.

I was just in Vegas: $2-$3 for anything seems reasonable.
Heck, go to any movie theater, amusement park, or professional sporting venue and these prices are rock bottom. Its just the price of convenience.

Refreshing Spring Water is just 1 copper per. And even Purified Draenic Water is only 64 silver each.
Of course, if you forget to bring some to the raid, the mage can charge whatever they like for what they've conjured.

Yeah, $3 is how much it is to buy 'bottled rej' (aka water) at my work (it's a theatre for stage shows like broadway, rock shows, opera, ballet, comedy nights etc). It's pretty much the cheapest drink you can buy, seeing as Juice is $4 and the cheapest alcoholic drink is $6.
When you're at an event, $3 seems like a fairly standard water price.

You people should visit Australia, where you always have to expect to pay at least $6 for the most basic of things at events.

the typo on their sign for "Rejuvenation" is killing me.

Kitty!

This either coolest or the least cool thing I've ever seen.
pancakes Oct 21st 2010 7:09PM
There was an "is" in that sentence at one stage, but it seems to have escaped. You may reinsert it in at your own discretion.
pancakes Oct 21st 2010 8:29PM
Also, add a "the" for good measure.
I should not be allowed to type on iphones.

No one likes a grammar Nazi...

@HellfireGamer: He's grammar Naziing HIMSELF. I'm pretty sure that's still allowed.
Tortus Oct 21st 2010 6:24PM
Yeah, really expens- *Distracted by kitty*
jfofla Oct 21st 2010 6:34PM
Not a big fan of the Taco Stand.
Dairune Oct 21st 2010 6:46PM
$2 for a 99 cent pack of chips?
$2 for an apple?
$3 for a bottle of water?!
I.smell.KOTICK.
Bronwyn Oct 21st 2010 6:54PM
I smell standard prices at these type of events. -_-
A concert I went to one summer had $5 bottles of water, and the poor people selling the stuff were working for TIPS so if you're a nice person you spent even more.
