Mission Icefly: New Video Has Hidden Image of Terry O’Quinn, Website Has Mysterious Letters Dan Koelsch, June 25, 2011 We’ve been covering the Mission Icefly/Test Subjects Needed viral campaign despite almost conclusive evidence that it’s just for a new flavor of Wrigley’s 5 gum. The campaign has been been interesting to follow, and knowing that 42 Entertainment is probably behind it intrigues us even more. Now we have some new updates to the campaign, which includes John Locke himself, after the break. Last week we posted the video from Mission Icefly that showed paper helicopters with lights dropping down on Bonnaroo. These same devices were mailed to people who signed up for the Test Subjects Needed website. Today, the campaign posted a “version 2” of the video that has a little easter egg at the end. Watch the video below to see for yourself.That’s right, that is a scrambled video of Terry O’Quinn (aka John Locke on LOST) saying something like “we all have a certain”. What does this all mean? We don’t know yet, but an update to the Mission Icefly website might give a clue. At the bottom of the page are a series of letters that look to be an incomplete message. There are too many spaces in between to even try to decipher it, but more letters may be revealed soon.Thanks to Steve from Collider for convincing me to watch the video all the way through, otherwise I might have missed Mr. Locke.

Hey all people!The image below on Mission Icefly website originally said “Operation Reboot”. Check out on Unforum: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=32383&start=653
http://www.5react.com was used last year. When I entered my info back then it sent me a sample of the React gum, so I don’t think that is tied to this. Since it was so long ago, the sampling event is probably over for that. I don’t know what this is though.
