You wonder why they're pushing it so hard. Later, you might realise the tagline - "Explodes your mind!" - is a tad sinister.

The Spankles mascot - a nightmarish hybrid of Ronald McDonald and the terrifying clown from Poltergeist that haunted my early years - leers at you from.
"A benevolent government that gives away free refreshments? I'm in!" Beyond a Steel Sky review
"Wow!", you think, dispensing a can for gratis for the first time. Even before you breach Union City's walls, there's a kiosk giving away free cans of the stuff - actually, there's a lot of vending machines that give away the stuff. It's the insidiousness of Spankles that bothers me at first. Handsome visuals can't quite make up for bugs and a lack of urgency.
