Lately I've been hearing a lot about Code Orange. In fact, I was watching
basketball this afternoon, and they interrupted the game right at the most
exciting part so that Dan Rather could update us on how everyone is getting
prepared for Code Orange.
I just don't see what all the hype is about. I mean, why is everyone getting
so excited about a new flavor of Mountain Dew? Sure Code Red was exciting
and all... the first time they really changed the classic Mountain Dew formula.
But I never would have guessed everyone would get so worked up over Code
Orange, the new orange flavored Mountain Dew.
...Especially given the fact that Mountain Dew is already orange flavored.
Let me quote from my current can: "Ingredients: carbonated water blah blah blah
blah blah CONCENTRATED ORANGE JUICE!" So, it seems like normal Mountain Dew is already
Code Orange Mountain Dew, despite the fact that it is more yellow in color
than orange. So what gives with all the Code Orange hype? Is a change in
color from yellow to orange really worth getting that worked up about?
I have to admit I haven't tried Code Orange yet. Maybe it really is something
to get all worked up about. Perhaps they added real pulp or something really
exciting like that. Or maybe they just doubled the caffeine. That always
helps. Maybe if they did both those things, it would make Code Orange something
worth getting all excited over, but since there's really no information
yet on what makes Code Orange different from Code Red or just plain old, normal
Code Yellow (i.e., Mountain Dew Classic), I'm not exactly trembling with
anticipation.
But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Code Orange really is a lot better than the
normal Code Yellow Mountain Dew. Maybe if everyone's favorite Dew was
Code Orange, I'd given in and try it. So, what's your favorite Mountain Dew?
