All flavors will include a code to download your favorites into your own home or work production labs, meaning you'll have access to the deliciousness of Goo Tubes!™ at home, at work, at play, or at any of our 3.7 billion licensed Goo Tubes!™ dispensers.

I'm planning on allowing my PCs to decipher the Goo Tubes when they come across them, they missed the room with them last time do to being chased by Sef, and I will pass those flavors onto here once they do.
