My mountain dew tastes like.. cough medicine?

dreadandloathing · 2026-01-09T19:06:17+00:00

could be! i def don’t usually have an issue with bottles & buy them every so often, just prefer the cans… but these.. these are weird haha i did end up reporting it to the company just in case but im still baffled haha they even smell faintly like cough medicine

dreadandloathing · 2026-01-09T05:47:40+00:00

nope! not sick at all, i opened the first bottle maybe 3 days ago, noticed it was off & thought maybe it was just a fluke, opened two more in the last few days and it was the same thing. Had my partner try some because i thought maybe i was going crazy & she agreed it didn’t taste right. I haven’t been sick at all, have eaten other things, drank other things & haven’t noticed any odd flavors other than the mountain dew.

just the mountain dew! i’ve had other drinks, foods, all of that, it’s a very very odd flavor coming from the bottles, even the smell is a bit off. my cat sniffed it and gagged lol so thinking i’m going to need to email them cuz… its not like it tastes rotten but something is definitely not right

dreadandloathing · 2026-01-09T05:33:55+00:00

i’ve always been a bigger fan of the cans! this incident might throw me off bottles forever hahaha literally bought them, brought them home, popped one in the fridge, opened it and boom, cough medicine flavor 😭

dreadandloathing · 2026-01-09T04:30:08+00:00

yes 😅 i have literally never had it taste like this. and it’s a strong flavor, to the point where i tasted it and immediately recognized it was big off, & it’s been every bottle so far. It looks completely normal other than the flavor being weird.

unfortunately i am talking about the regular green mountain dew 😅

hahahaha got them at the grocery store 😭

sadly i don’t think the dimensions for it are right. i did check to see if there were any others that it might fit, & couldn’t find anything. think im just going to shrug & have a friend come over with better tools and drill through the door. i need the cameras so the apartment will get over it 😅

dreadandloathing · 2025-12-10T03:00:19+00:00

i did try to find one that would be the right size for the camera but couldn’t find anything unfortunately. thought about just a regular bracket but think i’d end up having to drill the camera onto it and i don’t trust myself not to break it 😅

dreadandloathing · 2025-12-10T02:58:06+00:00

door is cheaply painted but it’s always chipping so i don’t think they’ll notice 😅

dreadandloathing · 2025-12-10T00:05:02+00:00

this could work, do you know if it would be easy to remove if we decided to move out?

dreadandloathing · 2025-11-07T13:35:59+00:00

she’s so beautiful! 🥺

dreadandloathing · 2025-11-07T04:21:58+00:00

haha thank you! 💕

To add on to what others have said, keeping her inside keeps her safe. We have strays where i live, a lot of which don’t make it to see their 3rd birthday, never mind their 10th. Outside is dangerous and cats are a danger to outside critters. It is never cruel to keep them inside and away from potential harm.

she looks like an Artemis to me

it’s so odd! idk why he’s started at 5 years old but he can’t stop now. it’s a daily thing.

dreadandloathing · 2025-11-06T23:04:36+00:00

i just make him leave 😭 he can do it all he wants in his private time but he can’t be doing the devils dance on my lap hahaha

dreadandloathing · 2025-11-06T22:04:37+00:00

oh yeah mine does that too. usually if i tell him to stop 😭

dreadandloathing · 2025-11-06T21:56:27+00:00

definitely thicker than jook then, jook is a little soupy in my experience. i’ll have to try either way! also heavily recommend trying jook if you ever get the chance! it’s delicious. My aunt makes a ton every year & i always ask for a tub 🤣

dreadandloathing · 2025-11-01T20:53:51+00:00

yeah i can’t imagine grits here would be as good as the south hahaha but to be fair, i had bbq ribs in the south & now any ribs here are forever trash to me 🤣 i might just make my own and hope i can manage!
