A Little Squirt of Heaven

I am notoriously habitual, so it came as a surprise to me when I grabbed a bottle of 'Squirt' at a convenience store today. Normally it comes down to Mountain Dew vs. Dr. Pepper, but neither seemed to capture my interest. They were both too syrupy, too thick and caffineated.

Truth in advertising does exist. Squirt proved both 'Refreshing' (inasmuch as this can be defined) and 'Citrus'y. It also came in a bottle that wasn't shaped like any of the others, and I'm starting to wonder if this was what made me grab it in the first place.

Everyone seems to be grabbing this 'Code Red' Mountain Dew like it's a gift from God, but I wasn't that impressed with it. It was good, but it tasted too much like someone poured Mountain Dew into a Cherry Gatorade. Skip it! Grab a Squirt. Despite the almost painfully goofy name, you'll be glad you did.
