Social Dewstortion

Two more days until the Great Escape. The many hours of work in between the "then" and "now" surely will give molasses a slow run for it's money.

And I should, probably, you know, pack at some point. Heh.

But on a less grandiose topic, let us move on to part II of my experimental beverage taste test (experimental taste test....that seems like a redundant repeititon of the same thing. /nerd observation). I'ma just go right out and say that I suffered for all of you, with Mountain Dew Distortion.



That's not just a trick of the light, by the way. It sort of does have an eerie glow to it. I couldn't help but think of that mutant juice from TMNT (Now, if I could just get Shredder's number...). By the look of it, you'd think it would have a similar taste to regular Dew. In acutality, it tastes like a badly botched bottle of Mellow Yellow with a gnarly aftertaste. The aftertaste is also accompanied by an almost alcholoic-like burn. Novel for a sip or two, then...not so much.

The redeeming qualities of this bastard soda are few, but of particular note is that coveted "kick" of Dew. Perhaps it's appearance lends itself to the Placebo effect, but I felt noticably less dead whence the bottle was empty.

The verdict?

You're better off with real Mellow Yellow, but it's drinkable. 2 out of 5.
