Give me fuel, give me fire give me that which I desire...

Not much to blog about. It’s not that my life has been overly boring lately, quite the opposite, but a lot of what I’ve been up to doesn’t blog too well. People don’t tune in to check out how I beat a level of Lego Star Wars 2 or how I bought some baseball cards. Quality family time doesn’t even translate to blogging unless something crazy happens…and it hasn’t. Blogging about rain is boring as is blogging about the Brewers continual losing. So there you go.

There was a perilous moment this weekend. I go to the grocery on Saturday morning with my mom. I see a display for Mountain Dew but something was wrong. In Code Red’s place was something called Game Fuel. It looked kind of like Code Red but something appeared to be unnormal. Sure enough I get the new Game Fuel home and my brothers and I all try it at once. We all grimace (in a bad way) upon the first taste. It was some weird sour orange popsicle tasting off-red crap. It’s the third worst Mountain Dew I’ve ever tasted (only better than Baja Blast and Pitch Black II.) We went to two other stores that weekend and none had Code Red. I was worried and upset. Finally back in Madison I found a display that displayed both of them so hopefully this Game Fuel crap will just go away. Oh yeah, blogs are supposed to be opinionated about social issues so here is the social impact of Game Fuel. It’s a promotion for Halo 3, the video game. The premise is that this Dew has double the caffeine of other Dews so you can stay up and have more energy to play more video games. And we wonder why we have an obesity epidemic, it’s in my opinion that it’s not McDonalds fault. A Happy Meal once a week as a 6year old is much better for you than the lifestyle of mountain dew and video games that is commonly developed as a teenager. If you want to blame someone, blame Microsoft. I did pick up an extra 12er of Code Red though...just in case.
