I know you guys are joking, but there use to be a Microsoft energy drink, that was only available to employees.

The blue one actually tasted really good. Was available on campus for several years in nearly every building. :)

I suspect these are just rebadged generic soda cans but there is something oddly dystopian about a company drink.

No, if I remember correctly it was a local beverage company. It wasn't unusual for Microsoft to back local businesses. I remember a very talented Indian software engineer that left Microsoft and purchased 3 "food trucks" and decided to serve food instead, true story. He parked his truck outside building 88 for a few years.
