G Fuel has partnered up with Konami to release a new drink, as you'll soon be able to get your hands on the Contra-branded "Rapid Fire" flavor. The company is celebrating the classic Konami video game with a special release that will give you a new mandarin orange flavor to add to your drinking options. They will be selling "Rapid Fire" as a 40-Serving Tub and Collector's Box, starting on March 13.
