Trivia[]

  • The texture of the world object shows the brand "Chunko-Honey." However, the item's inventory icon instead shows the brand "MontyBites." The "MontyBites" brand also exists as a world object texture in the game files, but is not used in the game.
  • "MontyBites" candy bars would later make an appearance in Deus Ex: Invisible War. In Invisible War, there is no inconsistency between the world object texture and the inventory texture.
  • The name "MontyBites" is based on the name of Deus Ex designer Monte Martinez.[1][2]
  • "Chunkohoney" also appears as a password for a computer in the LaGuardia Helibase.
  • The description of the candy bars is a reference to the film Soylent Green,[1] in which the film's protagonist discovers that the eponymous protein wafer bars are made out of people.
