FACT: Mountain Dew is the greatest beverage ever. It’s science. It started with the original in 1964, with the Diet flavor coming along some twenty years later. In 2001, something amazing happened with the advent of Code Red, a cherry flavored Mountain Dew. Since 2001, a few other flavors have surfaced since the success of the Code Red flavor, but none have been as delicious nor as amazing as Baja Blast, the fountain only flavor available only at Taco Bell.
However, not all is well in Baja Blast land, with the flavor being as controversial as it is delicious. Believe it or not, Baja Blast is not well received by all. In fact, some people HATE IT. I know, I know… it’s hard to believe. The chief culprit of this hatred, is Alicia, my roommate.
I discovered this hatred on the night of the U2 concert at University of Phoenix Stadium. We had been driving to Glendale for what seemed like over 9000 hours. There we were, about 2 miles away from the exit, but probably still about an hour away from even parking. Alicia, having drowned herself in several gallons of Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper, now had to use the restroom. Alicia was so desperate to pee that she was willing to have me pull over to the side of the road on the freeway to do so. Instead, I offered to drive up another 2 miles to find a local restaurant for her to use the bathroom. In our haste, we made a decision that would divide us eternally from that day forward.
We decided upon a local Taco Bell and as we arrived, we began to discuss the glory that is Mountain Dew. At this point, I proclaimed how I feel about Baja Blast, the Taco Bell only flavor, as it was appropriate considering our current destination. Fire roared from her eyes as she stepped out of my truck.
“Ummm, Baja Blast is like sewage,” Alicia yelled while possibly attempting to throw a rock at me (I’m not really sure about the rock part, I don’t remember). And from there, the debate roared on. We both even went as far as making posts on Twitter (to be seen on Facebook, later) to see what kind of response we could generate in each others favor. However, neither of us could gather enough votes in either way (despite what she says). So, hopefully this will end the debate once and for all.
All are encouraged to comment on this post with your opinion, no matter how false it may be (Alicia). Hopefully, we can gather enough information to settle this debate and stitch back together a house divided.
FRIENDS AND FAMILY, REACT TO ME!!! POST YOUR OPINIONS ON THE MATTER! HELP US SETTLE THIS DEBATE ETERNAL!!!
Official ruling from me, the Official Commissioner of Baja Blast: The Great Sewage Debate: Baja Blast is SEWAGE. Debate settled. The End.
RAGE! The fact that you called yourself the Official Commissioner of Baja Blast: The Great Sewage Debate is ridiculous!
I didn’t ask for this position. The people want who they want, Geoff.
