You know...there's a sucker born every minute. And almost 27 yrs ago there was one born with my very name...which umm..happened to be me.
At the supermarket the other day, with GREAT HESITATION, I bought a limited edition pack of soda. There it was, this intriguing purple case of mountain dew sitting on top of thirty other totally normal green cases. Just one left...or more likely, the only one even shipped to the damn store. "Mountain Dew: Pitch Black II" it was called...what an amazingly shitty name. Even shittier than the orange flavored "Mountain Dew: LiveWire". Oh yeah, it's the shitty sequel of the equally bad "Mountain Dew: Pitch Black" that came out last year at the same time. The tag line is "BACK WITH A SOUR BITE!". Wow, go fuck yourself PepsiCo ad department.
You know when a father says to his kid - "Son, I'm not angry with you..I'm just extremely disapointed." That's exactly how I feel here. I trust that swirly, energetic red and green logo to stand for quality, and they let me down. When I drink from one of those cans, I WANT to feel like screaming "DO THE DEW!" at the top of my lungs and then jumping out of a plane with jetpacks while being chased by an alien spaceship with three of my most radical mountain dew drinking friends. Not this time...not this time.
I can't even bring myself to post the Hate-o-meter. On the Disappoint-o-meter it's an 11 out of 10. I think I'm gonna go cry.
