The stars of Heroes have a new favorite frozen drink, and it may look somewhat familiar. The following photos showed up on the blog of Heroes director/producer Greg Beeman of the cast of the hit show drinking “Slusho!” a drink which first appeared in the JJ Abrams’ series Alias, and has now become a focal point of the viral marking behind the hot JJ Abrams produced monster flick Cloverfield. So what will Heroes have to do with the upcoming movie? Will their be a connection? Greg Grunberg, a childhood friend of Abrams who has appeared in nearly every thing he’s produced thus far, appears on Heroes as Matt Parkman. Could he just be helping his best bud promote the upcoming film? Beeman won’t say:
“Now, the next group of photos falls into the “don’t ask/don’t tell” category. I credit Greg Yaitanes for staging all these pix, under the supervision of Joe Pokaski. Their cultural significance will become clear in the coming months, so… pay attention!”
There is obviously more to this story. Dennis at CloverfieldClues discovered that Slusho actually made its first appearance on Heroes during last night’s episode, check out that photo below:
We’ll keep you updated. Check out more Heroes behind the scenes Slusho photos after the jump.

um, i’m willing to bet money there isn’t more to this story other than to get us hyped…a story connection seems like a stretch. an in joke yeah, some kind of intertextual conspiracy - not so much. that’s about as likely as charlton heston popping up in cloverfield to shout ’slusho! is PEOPLE’

I agree with Fanboy D… it’s purly for hype. Abrams still needs to hire the company that’s handling The Dark Knight

That is a pretty interesting story but I agree with Fanboy D also. It would be a little far fetched for Abrams to incorporate “Heroes” into his movie and honestly it would be stupid to see time traveling superpowers in Cloverfield dont you think?

Tangent: This week’s Heroes sucked. There have been two WTF moments in the past two episodes. Sloppy writing.

ihartsf: Heroes didn’t suck. When people make those comments one could think they lack the mental capacity to understand what’s going on in the show and how the events of one episode will effect another. The writing on Heroes is amazing, and at least they satistfy the viewers by providing answers to the plots twists and turns unlike “Lost” which started out as a great show until they started asking questions and stopped providing answers. Those WTF moments you talk about are doing excatly what they were intended for, suspense, mystery and giving something for people like us to have a difference of opinion on. :)

Cloverfield Ending Credits - Spoilers
At the credits ending of Cloverfield, *spoilers* the audio from the video cam says, “Help us!”. But when played backwards, it says, “It’s still alive!” This happens after the end credits of Cloverfield. Assuming the speaker was Rob, he suggests Cloverfield (the monster) is still alive. This also suggests a sequel for Cloverfield 2! *Spoilers*
The Japanese oil company TAGRUATO drops a satellite (Chimpanz III) into the ocean as part of viral marketing (shown at the end of the movie when Rob and Beth were on the ferris wheel). TAGRUATO works with SLUSHO (a slush company), as the main ingredient for SLUSHO is found at the satellite dropzone (deep ocean). While searching for satellite and ingredients, they woke Cloverfield (the monster).
People who were at the party in the beginning of the movie, were seen wearing SLUSHO shirts. Rob apparently was going to be the Vice President of TAGRUATO in Japan.
The main ingredient of Slusho apparently turns a tiny fish into a HUGE whale in Ganu’s (he found the nectar) dream, which explains the size of Cloverfield. *Update* The main ingredient is a deep sea nectar.
*Update* Because the ingredient was discovered on the deep ocean floor, under amazing pressure and in the most extreme cold, Ganu knew he had to serve the ingredient in a near frozen state to preserve its freshness. Thus the idea of Slush (Slusho)!
For animals/fishes/insects to survive in the deepest ocean (very high boiling temperature), they naturally have very high heat resistance. This explains how Cloverfield is able to withstand numerous bombs and attacks from the army.
Cloverfield refers to the field formerly known as Central Park. Clovers are usually prone to grow at places after bombing. Thus the term “Clover” and “field” referring to park.
*Update* Slusho is a very addictive drink, with signs of steroid drug like effects. Makes people stronger, constantly happy, have happy dreams and finally… “SLUSHO makes my stomach explode with happy!!” (Remember Marlena’s stomach?)
