I'd heard the legends online.. in my hubris I laughed in the face of them and dared to indulge in a hearty meal at US Taco Bell. Wearing cream coloured shorts, I challenged the legends and trusted not one, not two but three farts on my trip back to the hotel.. so I guess you can say I'm into extreme sports. Little did I know they were the horns sounding the announcement of the oncoming storm.

I am now an empty husk of my former self. I have been humbled by the Bell. The legends are true.

... but was it worth it? The colour of the drink is amazing and terrifying.

You know what.. I think once I stop shaking and sobbing it will have been worth it

Brave enough wearing cream coloured shorts to begin with imo!

You fought a brave and honourable battle. You lost where many others have, there's no shame in that. Be proud of what you accomplished and don't focus on the fecal torrent.

Is that Sierra Mist in the cup?

Thank you, I needed to read that.

It's Mountain Dew Baja Blast! A drink made specifically for Taco Bell US. Although they do sell it in bottles now too.. but the OG is from the fountain drinks at Taco Bell. It was on my list of things to try over here.
