I remember the book being incredibly vague about how the actual operation would go, which I suppose is to be expected for a book from the mid-60s, but given the lack of details, my mid-90s mind simply assumed it would be done by having a giant terrifying surgerybot sticking a long metal arm down his throat. I mean, the monkey swallows a piece of a jigsaw puzzle, and has to go to the hospital to get it taken out. I remember my favourite one being the hospital one, but now that I think about it, isn’t it kind of messed up? Those were my favourite books as a small child. Now for the rest of this article I will be thinking about Curious George. In small amounts, it looks almost medicinal, like an old barium meal or something. As you can see, it’s not just murky and grey: this drink is opaque. Sharing a hue with a drab, foggy day, I wasn’t sure what to expect with White-Out. Though, 'Mountain Dew White-Out’ still just sounds like branded correction fluid, but I suppose there’s a fine line between 'powerful imagery involving the colour white’ and 'imagery involving white power’ that PepsiCo needs to understandably not cross. Mountain Dew White-Out, that is, not the correction fluid.
#WHITE OUT MOUNTAIN DEW CODE#
Their names are Code Red (which I was under the impression of being already well-established, but it’s apparently an option), Voltage, Super Nova, and today’s candidate, White-Out. There are 4 flavours competing to permanently represent PepsiCo’s lemon-lime brand, if you feel like humanizing a beverage. The promotion is called Mountain Dew Dew-mocracy, which I think may actually win over ska band Reel Big Fish’s album 'Skacoustic’ for worst portmanteau ever. That’s okay, though, because this is my blog and on my blog it’s Canada all day, every day. This promotion appears to only be happening in Canada at the moment, and though Wikipedia indicates that the promotion has occurred several times south of the world’s longest border, I don’t really know the status of these flavours of Mountain Dew elsewhere in the world. That doesn’t mean I’ve ever read those articles.
For some reason, soda promotions are a big deal to a certain breed of blogger. I follow many blogs, most are examples of what I would like this blog to become. Growing up in a generation obsessed with Pokemon teaches you many things, one of which is hardly important at all, and probably even wrong, but it sticks with you anyway: If there is more than one colour of something available, not only is the colour you choose extremely important and indicative of the worth of your personality, but also you should heavily consider buying all the colours, to cover your bases. However, when I walked past the refrigerator in my school’s cafeteria and noticed there had been a recent explosion in colours of Mountain Dew, I knew I needed to drink at least one of them. So as I have established, I don’t drink a lot of soda.
#WHITE OUT MOUNTAIN DEW DOWNLOAD#
What I’m trying to say is, if you really need to, you can download this article and find-replace all the instances of the word 'soda’ with 'pop’. Then again, the servers at soda fountains were called 'soda jerkers’ so I don’t know where I stand on this issue any more. I suppose I simply like the term 'soda’ more, after all “getting a soda” founds like a fun old-timey adventure and “getting a pop” sounds like some kind of weird sexual escapade. I am aware that this is a largely regional thing, but I haven’t moved anywhere in my life, and grew up around people who call it 'pop’. Yes, I’ll admit to this too, I am a Soda Snob.Īlso, I call soda ‘soda’, unlike everyone else I’ve ever met, who refers to the drinks as 'pop’. If I do indulge, it tends to be the more expensive varieties, which are sweetened with cane sugar rather than High-Fructose Corn Syrup. I find it too overpoweringly flavourful to drink with a meal, and too easy to over-consume. It takes particular circumstances for my brain to accept caffeine and not flip its lid about all the work that I will ever have to do in my life. I will admit, right away, to not being much of a soda-drinker, if such a term is even something used to describe people.
