A Look at the Bizarre Ingredients of the Black Ops Cold War Zombies Perk Beverages

Since the introduction of Perk-a-Colas in Call of Duty: World at War's Nazi Zombies mode, these stat-increasing beverages have been a staple of the Zombies experience. From the classic bottled soda aesthetic to the miniature totems, Perks have seen few variations in design over the years. In Black Ops Cold War, Perks have been given a facelift to match the 1980s theme, sporting slick new aluminum cans with highly-detailed labels.

Although character dialogue has given hints as to the taste of the Perk beverages over the years, it wasn't until now that Zombies fans had the secret recipe to Treyarch's iconic concoctions. Let's take a look at the ingredients and nutrition facts for each of the Perks available in the latest Zombies installment.

If you're looking for a real-world taste test, but aren't interested in obtaining ingredients such as Powdered Crocodile Eggs and Hydrolyzed Crank, YouTuber Glitching Queen went above and beyond to craft accurate recreations of each Perk!

Deadshot Daiquiri

From the sweetness of the Denatured Rum and Strawberry Oil to the inherently bitter nature of the Ginko Biloba, Deadshot Daiquiri is a surprisingly well put together drink. While the ingredients may be foreign to some, they're easily obtainable; pro tip: Dehydrated Eye of Newt is simply mustard seed - the more you know.

Elemental Pop

As enticing as the neon pink label is, Elemental Pop is unfortunately not able to be accurately recreated due to its ingredients. Bromide Seltzer was commonly utilized in the 1900s for curing headaches before being discontinued following reports of harmful toxicity levels. The other ingredients can be simplified to the minerals found in modern vitamins.

Juggernog

For many fans, Juggernog is their favorite perk, which explains the backlash of its removal in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Over the years, the Aether crew have suggested that this Perk consists of an eggnog-like substance that's made with real eggs. Finally, Treyarch has revealed the full recipe.

Aside from the ridiculous amounts of calories and carbohydrates, Juggernog contains Powdered Crocodile Eggs - on its own, this ingredient would put many off of tasting it; but if that isn't enough to deter you, maybe reconsider ingesting the iron fortification of the Perk.

Quick Revive

For a Perk whose sole purpose is to pick you up off of your feet and get you back into the fight, the ingredients of Quick Revive are likely to have the complete opposite effect. Tank Dempsey's quote describing the taste as "fermented herring dipped in cat piss" is an incredibly accurate representation of this Perk's ingredients.

If Russian Trench Water isn't enough to ward you away from recreating Quick Revive, consider the fact that the official list of ingredients includes Feline Urea - just as Dempsey suspected.

Speed Cola

Despite the 100 grams of sugar included in Speed Cola, this wasn't enough to get the hands of players reloading at the speed that Treyarch desired; thus, the developers turned to illicit substances. Disguised as "Hydrolyzed Crank", Speed Cola contains Methamphetamine for that burst of energy that players expect... But let's not discuss the side effects of this one.

Stamin-Up

Stamin-Up starts strong with the classic Lemon and Lime ingredients that you'd expect from a modern soda, however, things quickly take a turn for the worse as the ingredients go on to list High Octane Gasoline and Capsaicin - the latter of which is a chemical compound of hot peppers.
