According to a new interview with VALVe programmers:

Quote:
Portal 2 was originally going to feature five main gels: Repulsion, Propulsion, Adhesion, Conversion, and a fifth as-yet-unnamed type. After activating Pump Station Delta and Adhesion Gel, an extra underground testing track would have contained Pump Station Epsilon and 'Gel Epsilon.' "Aperture originally created this Gel E as a healthy sandwich spread, which would also provide energy...[snip]

EDIT:
Apparently there's a post length limit, full interview here: http://tinyurl.com/2g9mqh

Yeah, but this gel would make it six? Wouldn't it?

Not that it matters though xD

Hmmm, no? It's our 3 (conversion, propulsion and repulsion), the adhesion one ("sticky" gel), and this fifth "epsilon" gel :biggrin:

Nope :razz: we're forgetting reflection gel :wink:

(according to valve this wasn't even intended to be in the game anyways, it should've been cut. So yeah even though it's an april fools joke there is a fifth gel that should have been cut :razz:
