Everyone is Beaming-off

If you’re like me and you don’t drink soda, you may have been unaware of the current state of Mountain Dew. It’s a collector’s market. Yes, the sickly-sweet mass-produced green soda has inspired a cutthroat world of hoarding, selling, and perhaps even drinking.

In the past few years, Mountain Dew variants have included “Live Wire” orange ($29), “Pitch Black” ($49), “Citrus Cherry Game Fuel” ($25), “Voltage” ($36), and “Whiteout” ($22.)

The foodie/locavore/gourmet market has failed to cater to the fetishists of particular blends of artificial flavors, caffeine, phosphoric acid, and brominated vegetable oil, and Mountain Dew can’t be blamed for stepping up to the plate. Sometimes a plate of sous-vide steak with artisanal root-vegetable mix in pan sauce paired with a vintage Cab just has to take a back seat to Mountain Dew Phosphorylated Diabetes Precipitator.

I feel better knowing that E. Honda can’t do it either.
