Observed Absurdities™ 60 - This Is a Public Service Announcement

 

Not everything that manages to make its way past the watchful eyes of the Food and Drug Administration is necessarily safe or recommended for human consumption.

I know this, because of what I found on the shelves of a nearby convenience store.

There it was, innocently standing beside the REAL SUGAR version of Mountain Dew® and the nectar of the gods known as Dr Pepper & Cream Soda. To the untrained eye, it looked like just another soft drink, waiting to infuse you with caffeine and empty your wallet.

But wait a minute...

What's that say?

"Mtn Dew Fruit Quake: DEW® with a Blast of Artificial Fruitcake Flavor" 


I'm pretty sure there aren't a lot of people who like REAL fruitcake, let alone any actual human beings who have been longing for some ARTIFICIAL fruitcake flavor in their Mountain Dew
®.

"You know what would make this practically flavorless bottle of high-fructose corn syrup even more disgusting? The flavor of a bread-brick and dried fruit!"

Run.

Do not walk.

Away.

Far, far away.
