Troll and awesome video maker Marphy Black has obtained... well, I'll just let him speak for himself.
"This is an unboxing of a rare Half-Life 2 bubblegum package originating from Russia some time in 2004. All of the content used on the packaging is from the leaked beta version of the game. Since it is highly unlikely that Valve licensed a Russian confectionery company to produce a line of Half-Life 2-themed gum based on the then leaked beta, this is probably considered a bootleg product."
I shat bricks when I saw this. Be on the lookout for another auction.
EDIT: As an added bonus, I now give you this:

Nah, Marphy wouldn't fake this. I don't see what makes this look fake, they just made bubblegum based off HL2 using stuff they found in the beta. The bootleg market is a big big place.

This buble gum was in sell in 2004 in Ukraine, before HL2 was released

LOL!
I know you said "this stuff" but Valve STILL use the beta screenies to advertise hl2... I've even seen some of those screenies on Steam before like within the last 6 months...
Also that stupid fool opened the packaging and pretty much ruined this item, i can see some box damage but it WAS still in its original packaging and now its worth nothing
