I should stop pretending I'm going to make a summer camp report, shouldn't I?

Quick anecdote: We (^z and I) were at Taco Bell today, on way back from picking up nanakikun. We were getting drinks (it was a hot day – still is) and ^z decided to get nanakikun the not-so-new Mountain Dew: Baja Fresh.

Wait, Baja Fresh is a store. Maybe it was Baja Blast. Whatever.

In any case, when we returned to the car and gave nanakikun the drink, he told us it was "Blue Raspberry".* I was mildly amused to hear him describe it this way, but I doubted that the description was accurate: he has described several beverages this way in the past. Besides, it was the wrong color: greenish, not blue.

Then ^z tasted it, and said it tasted like blue laundry detergent. That's when I knew that Mountain Dew: Baja Blast was truly Blue Raspberry.


* For those of you who have never encountered it, Blue Raspberry was one of nanakikun's favorite Slurpee® flavors from 7-11 a few years back.
