orange soda

i have come to the conclusion that humans are attracted to bright colors. usually, that's fine, but it has created a bit of a problem for me.
the thing is, i don't like the taste of orange soda. but often, when i go to parties or other places in which orange soda is present, i see it sitting there between the Coke and the Sprite. the Coke looks like cough syrup, and the sprite looks like water or seltzer or something, and when you compare them to the bright colors of the orange soda...well, you simply can't compare it.
it's like the orange soda is saying, "Come on, drink me! You'll like the taste, i promise. would a bright orange liquid in a bottle with a flashy label lie to you?"
so i, of course, pour myself a cup of the sticky-sweet stuff. and it's not until i take a HUGE gulp of it that i remember that i don't like orange soda. so the drink come shooting out of my mouth like a bullet.
the weird thing is that i keep on doing it. every time i see orange soda, the bright colors make me momentarily forget that i don't like the taste. and by the time i remember, it's too late.
here's a little piece of advice: if you see me at a party, stay away from me while i'm near the drinks if you don't want to get an orange soda shower.

hey, i saw your comment on the MaxRide blogspot post. i'm so glad that SOMEONE out there agrees with me about this global warming hysteria. first, average temperature has risen less than one degree over the last century. and temperatures throughout history have fluctuated back and forth--the earth is designed to deal with it. I'm totally into living green, because i believe we SHOULD care for our environment.

But i don't believe that humans have the final say in whether this planet survives or not. personally, i believe in the God of the blible who says that all things happen at the proper time, and that the earth is not gonna end because of some tropical takeover. Anyway.

haha, i also hate orange soda. =]

I don't like any type of soda at all actually. I know, I'm weird.


lol, thanks for the comment about my name :D How is your friend's similar name spelled?

orange soda scares me... why is it the same color as cheetos?

Anonymous said...

idk but I do like cheetos. Orange soda... bleh. I don't like it. but I like oranges. =] I'm weird like that.

xny94x said...

i think that orange soda tastes nothing like oranges... weird

griffinrider said...

it is pretty nasty that soda and cheetos are the same color. it seems...wrong, somehow.
daydream, i agree. i think i'll post something aout global warming in the near future.
alannah, my friend's name is spelled with an "i" in front instead of the first "a", and there's no "h".
xnyetc., i agree. it is very strange that orange soda tastes nothing like oranges, and purple soda tastes nothing like purples. why is that?

Zetsu said...

Mella said...

Yep. I would say that my best cooking creations so far were the mud pies I made when I was little.

Says a lot. So don't worry you can't be that bad at cooking and if you are your not on your own.

griffinrider said...

yeah, i know. candy corn is gross. i don't think it's meant to be eaten, it's just for show at halloween parties and stuff. but i always forget that, so i take a nice big handful and stick it in my mouth...and then i remember.
and it's not just me- my brother also eats candy corn he doesn't like.

Jordan said...

oh my. ur strange. LOL

griffinrider said...

hey jordan!:
that's old news. tell me something i don't know.

hey gemz!:
i found ice cream, but only chocolate and vanilla.

apparently, no one on this blog likes orange soda. so if no one likes it, why do they keep making it? cuz weirdos like me drink it anyway?

RoseM said...

Are you mad at me?

shmozywannabe said...

I know you will not appreciate this comment, but your temptation for orange soda is one of your syptoms of the condition od ODD. Please consult with your doctor immeadiately. In addition, orange soda, as I'm sure you know, is extremely unhealthy. Not only does it cause obesity, but i makes someone into a bad mone, and wrinkles the skin, If I'm not mistaken. In my opinion, it has an utterly revolting taste, and I try to avoid it as much as I possibly can.
i recommend you do the same.

griffinrider said...

hey shmozalina:
what's a "mone"? and if you write one more word about ODD, i might have to delete your comment. seriously.

hey rosestar:
why would i be mad at you?

Jo, Aeron, Skyy, Brandon, and Bella said...

Anonymous said...

Chee said...

lol ur stories r quite random but they're really funny :D
nd btw i read ur comment on jordan's blog about my blog being strange... i just thought i'd tell u that it wasn't my blog u went on - it was acutally my brother's blog lol.
and about the orange soda thing, it's the same with me but with fish... eww...

griffinrider said...

hey chee:
you'd get along grea with my sister! she hates fish more than anything in the world.
thanks for the compliments. your brother's blog? how'd i get there?

hey daydreametc:
ODD is a condition in which someone is, well, odd. hence the word choice. but don't listen to shmozy person, he/she likes pretending he/she is a doctor who can diagnose ODD.
