I tried the same thing, but this time with US presidents and Mountain Dew Baja Blast:
Introducing Mountain Dew Baja Blast: A Taste That Brings Us Together
Scene opens with a roundtable of U.S. Presidents from across the political spectrum—each standing in front of a Mountain Dew Baja Blast can.
George Washington (standing tall, holding a Baja Blast):
“In my day, we were forming a new nation. We believed in liberty, but perhaps we were a little too focused on tea. This… this is a drink that captures the spirit of adventure and new frontiers. It’s bold, it’s refreshing, and it reminds us that change can be just as sweet as the past.”
Abraham Lincoln (nodding thoughtfully):
“It’s important to recognize the power of unity, and how something as simple as a new taste can bring people together. We faced division in my time, but in the end, we knew that compromise and understanding were essential. Baja Blast—its bold flavor, its ability to stand out—reminds us of what it means to embrace difference without fear.”
Theodore Roosevelt (slaps his hand on the table with enthusiasm):
“By all means! This drink, like the spirit of America itself, is robust and unafraid! We stand at the helm of progress, and Baja Blast is a symbol of that energetic, forward-thinking attitude! If you don’t like it, get out of the way!”
Franklin D. Roosevelt (smiling as he takes a sip):
“During times of uncertainty, we often turn to new ideas and innovations to push us forward. Baja Blast is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there’s always a spark of hope—something new and refreshing to lift our spirits. It’s a taste of the future, rooted in progress.”
Ronald Reagan (grinning, holding a can aloft):
“Well, folks, this Baja Blast sure is a taste of optimism. It’s got that sweet, tangy flavor that makes you want to believe in the American dream. It’s a drink that doesn’t apologize for being bold. In my day, we called that American exceptionalism—and this, my friends, is exceptional.”
Bill Clinton (chuckling):
“I have to admit, I didn’t expect a drink to taste quite like this. It’s complex, refreshing, and just the right amount of zing. It’s got that little bit of unexpected, just like life in politics. Whether you’re from the left or the right, sometimes you just need something that makes you smile.”
Barack Obama (sipping carefully, then smiling):
“What I like about Baja Blast is that it’s a blend of the familiar and the new. We all know what it’s like to face change, to navigate uncharted waters, but with balance and perspective, we can build something truly special. It’s a reminder that our differences don’t have to divide us—they can inspire something unique, something refreshing.”
Donald Trump (holding up the can):
“Let me tell you something—this drink is huge. It’s a winner, believe me. People will love it. It’s got a taste you can’t ignore, just like the Trump administration. This drink stands out. Baja Blast knows how to get attention, and that’s what we need more of. It’s the kind of boldness America thrives on.”
Joe Biden (laughing warmly):
“This Baja Blast? I like it. It’s about bringing people together, having a good time, and remembering the little things that make us happy. It’s like a family BBQ—simple, but memorable. And we could all use a little more of that, don’t you think?”
The scene zooms out, showing all the presidents sharing a toast.
Narrator (in a deep, reflective tone):
“No matter where you stand in the history of America, there’s one thing we can all agree on—sometimes, the best moments happen when we come together to enjoy something new. Mountain Dew Baja Blast. A taste that’s as bold as America itself.”
The screen fades to the Baja Blast logo.
Rosa Parks (smiling as she tries a bite): “You know, I took a seat once that changed things, and I’d do it again right here for this taco.”
Jesus fucking Christ dude.
This is the best part about growing up in Colorado. The mountains are west. It’s like having a cheat mode compass enabled all the time.
Goddamn Peppa Pig is indoctrinating our youth!
Fucked the shit out of bears
Instant karma. Love it.
It’s this type of thinking that is the reason our country is so fucked.
“If climate change is so bad, I’ll just move somewhere else.” Yeah but what about all the billions of other people in affected areas?
“If you need an abortion, just fly to another state where it’s allowed.” Yeah but what about people that are too poor, in an abusive relationship, or need an abortion immediately?
“If we get rid of Obamacare, my insurance will be so much cheaper.” Yeah because they can immediately throw off anyone that actually relies on their insurance to stay alive.
The examples are literally endless. People vote like they’re the only person that exists and fuck everyone else. They’re the worst. And apparently there’s a whole lot of them.
I remember like a year or two ago when they officially announced these products are LESS effective than a placebo. How the hell is it taking so long to get them off the shelves?
Probably worth financing it. What you lose in interest costs will probably be worth it if these tariffs go through.
I dunno, that’s what my friend said almost 20 years ago. My time machine is outta gas so I can’t go back to ask him.
I was visiting a friend in the Netherlands, who had to work one day which left me exploring Rotterdam alone. I commented that I was worried about what I was going to do for lunch, since I didn’t speak Dutch and didn’t know how I was going to order food.
He said, “just go into a Burger King and start speaking English - the cashier will understand you unless they completely failed highschool.” I always appreciated that about Dutch culture. They all speak 3 or 4 languages seemingly effortlessly.
That’s the first thing that came to my mind as well! I don’t know why, but Satisfactory’s spiders really get to me. I can’t play it without the kitties turned on. It’s the only game where they bother me.
Case in point:
I guess New Mexico is alright…
While voting for this, I was shocked that the ban on gay marriage passed on 2006. Reminded me that even though we’ve had some shithead leaders over the years, at least we’re making some progress.
Remember when gas was cheap because the entire country ground to a halt due to Trump mismanaging COVID? Those sure were the days…
Like others have said, Red Rocks is a big part of it, but Colorado is also a bit of an island of civilization in the western part of the country. We’re surrounded by Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Utah - which probably aren’t the states you think of first when you think of budding metropolises. So lots of events are held in Colorado that attract people from neighboring states.
Also, Denver International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world since we’re a huge connection hub to the rest of the country. So it’s very easy to travel here.
Yep. This is the timeline we live in.
Anyone that says anything other than Choco Taco is a coward.
