AITA for thinking Mountain Dew White Out is just the flavor equivalent of a mid-2000s Hot Topic clearance rack?

So my local gas station finally got a “vintage” restock of White Out. $8 for a 20oz bottle, btw. I’m hyped because I remember this being the nectar of the gods back when I was chugging it in my buddy’s mom’s minivan playing Halo 3.

I crack it open, take a sip, and… my dude. It’s just radioactive battery acid that forgot to commit to a flavor. It’s not citrus, it’s not cream soda. It’s the ghost of a Baja Blast that died of embarrassment. Everyone on Reddit says it’s “criminally underrated,” but I’m pretty sure we were all just dehydrated and had lower standards in 2009.

TL;DR: White Out tastes like nostalgia for a time that never existed, and I’m convinced the people who love it are just trying to gaslight themselves into feeling it’s better than Code Red. AITA for pouring the rest down the sink while whispering “I’m sorry, old friend”?
