I’ve Been Poisoned
Well, not really.
Nothing could bring a smile to my face like this one little indulgence. I consumed it daily, in excess. I used it for energy, weight loss and as a comfort device. Aspects of my life were adjusted to fit around this wonderful gift from a giant, seemingly friendly, corporation.
Now that evil corporation has turned on me. It has punished me for no other reason then the fact that I am not a fourteen year old boy. It turned its back on me as it smiled down on their imaginary new customers shouting the eardrum tearing slogan; "Tuned Up Taste"!
Pepsi Co has taken the wonderful product "Diet Mountain Dew" and swirled in chemical after chemical in a vein attempt to make it taste like regular Mountain Dew, a "Tuned Up Taste" that made me gag as if the product was tainted or stale. Why would they try to make it taste like a product that they already have? Are they phasing out Regular Mountain Dew?
Sadly, I am forced to switch my soda choices to Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Coke in an effort to somehow harm Pepsi Co for ignoring me. My only conclusion is that Pepsi Co hates me.
Pepsi,
I hate your new "Tuned Up Taste" and I know that you don't care.

Adrian, I don't know if you've been over to my blog yet, but you are not alone. I absolutely hate the new formula. Diet Dew is really the only soda that I like all that much (well LOVE was a better word). In any case, my site has a petition to PepsiCo, and there's a fairly organized movement to get them to give our old formula back. We've already got over 1,000 signatures! Stop by, check it out, and tell all of your Diet Dew loving friends.

Oh, I signed your petition (I was number 690 [or somewhere around that number]).
The first thing I did after tasting that vile stuff was to check the internet for others who were as disgusted as myself.
Thanks for setting that up... I did call Pepsi on Monday, they did not seem too interested.
