Battling Los Angeles traffic, I was suddenly struck with this intense thirst and only one drink would satisfy. Mountain Dew: Code Red. I have absolutely no idea where it came from. I haven't touched a Mountain Dew: Code Red since it's debut during my freshman year of college... and I
used to guzzle it like it was going out of style.Hitting the road with my 32 oz tucked between my legs, the radio played another song that brought on a wave of nostalgia to that very specific time. Blink 182's "The Rock Show". I almost dropped my red, bubbly beverage in complete shock. I wandered into some kind of time warp.
I was bitchslapped out of nowhere with this image: cruising through Vancouver in my black '97 Nissan pick up, windows rolled down because it was summer and the old Honey Wagon didn't have AC, taking sips and passing back & forth a bottle of Mt. Dew: Code Red, holding hands and singing along to "The Rock Show" with her.
It's weird what kind of curve balls get thrown at you.

I have never touched said beverage in my life. Never. I can't even imagine what it tastes like. Carbonated Cough Syrup? Non frozen slurpee? Bubble gum and seven up?
Eris - wow... you're surprisingly accurate. it'd say that it tastes like all of the above, actually. damn you're good!
