Mountain Dew reminds me of when I was little. It reminds me of being at the lake for hours on end, every single day of the week. It reminds me of summer. I remember when it first came out, of when I first heard of it, either one. I remember that I heard my mom and Mrs. Lauder talking about how many calories it had or something. I remember we almost weren't allowed to drink it just for that reason. I didn't like it at the time so I didn't really care. It was my brother's favorite drink though. I didn't try it until a few years later actually, because I, surprisingly, wasn't very into the whole "trying new things" scene as a kid. So if there was something new, I automatically hated it. I also remember I stopped eating ketchup for about four years because I found out it had onion powder in it and I hated onions. But I started eating it again because I read the label on the bottle again and thought it said the onion powder wss in a reciepe for a soup. Yeah, who the fuck uses ketchup in soup? Needless to say I was pretty fucking dumb. I use to eat my french fries with honey if they were too hot, cause god forbid I eat anything with onions in it. Rocky Road icecream reminds me of my Grandma. I like her. She died when I was 6, but I remember she was fucking awesome. Today at work someone bought Rocky Road icecream and I thought of her. I was so tempted to be like, "Hey, this icecream reminds me of my Grandma. Because I ate it when we were cleaning out her apartment when she died". But I didn't, because I thought that would be a pretty morbid thing to say. I told my mom that today and she laughed. It made me smile that I made her laugh, cause I made her cry more than once today..cause I'm a bitch. Oh well. Yeah, I don't think I've eaten Rocky Road icecream since that day either. Ugh, how morbid is that? I was eating my dead grandmother's icecream. That's crazy. It's funny how food can bring back memories like this. But it does. Wow, I feel like a fatass. Whatever. ♥
