haha, good thinking man

Wonder how they connected that with Black Ops?

This has been posted by another TTG member give credit to them

The plant in the top right of the screen is not a golden rod, but that doesn't mean it has nothing to do with the map.

DMH_Mods wrote idk but honestly dude what would a bunch of root beer do for them. its not to be taken literally maybe its just a good luck charm like i said. like a rabbits foot or something. you never know but alot of the stuff in there wouldnt literally help them if they were really fighting zombies now would it. besides vodka cause that would keep them sane

They don't drink root beer... They're perks. I like to think of them like plasmids/tonics from Bioshock.
