**AITA for Thinking Mountain Dew White Out Is Just a Metaphor for My Serotonin Levels After 2020?**
AITA for thinking Mountain Dew White Out is just a metaphor for my serotonin levels after 2020?
So PepsiCo literally announced they’re killing White Out for good. Like, they’re pulling the plug on a soda that tastes like if a lemon-lime battery and a can of Monster had a chemically engineered baby.
TL;DR: My favorite artificially-flavored depression fuel is being discontinued, and I’m supposed to be sad about it? Bruh, I’ve been drinking this since high school back when it was the “edgy” Dew flavor. It was the official drink of “I’m not okay, but at least this tastes like radioactive snow.”
The news articles are all like, “Fans are heartbroken!” Meanwhile, I’m over here thinking: We are a society that willingly drank something that looked like windshield washer fluid and had the nutritional profile of a panic attack. And we’re shocked that they’re cutting it?
They’re replacing it with… actually, nobody knows. Probably some limited-edition flavor they’ll market as “DEW-SPAIR” or “DEW-PRESSION” that tastes like regret and aspartame.
So yeah, AITA for being low-key relieved? Or are we all just pretending this wasn’t the most mid-tier Dew flavor that only survived because of early 2010s nostalgia and crippling caffeine dependency? 🥤💀
