\"Pitch<\/p>\n

Over the years, there have been many movies that have been as entertaining as a monkey juggling its own poop while peddling a tricycle through hoops of fire. <\/p>\n

But the sequels to those movies have burned me and my wallet, because they were as entertaining as watching water boil, watching grass grow, or listening to Madonna speak about a noble cause.<\/p>\n

For example, there’s Caddyshack<\/a> and Caddyshack 2. Caddyshack is probably the greatest movie about golf ever, while Caddyshack 2 is probably the worst movie about golf ever.<\/p>\n

Then there was Speed<\/a> and Speed 2: Cruise Control<\/a>. <\/p>\n

How bad was Speed 2? <\/p>\n

Let me put it this way, Speed 2 was so bad that I actually uttered the eleven words that I never thought would come out of my mouth, “I think Keanu Reeves’ crappy acting would’ve made this movie better.”<\/p>\n

Finally, there’s Sweatin’ To The Oldies and Sweatin’ To The Oldies 2. <\/p>\n

What was so bad about Sweatin’ To The Oldies 2? <\/p>\n

Well, besides more songs that were made waaay before I was born, I think Richard Simmons’ shorts in the sequel were shorter than usual, and if you know how short they usually are, then you know that if they got any shorter, it wouldn’t be a pretty sight.<\/p>\n

Because I can only take so much glittery and shimmery manliness.<\/p>\n

So with all of these crappy experiences with sequels, I was hesitant to try the new limited edition Mountain Dew Pitch Black 2, which is the sequel to last year’s original Mountain Dew Pitch Black.<\/p>\n

If you aren’t familiar with the original Mountain Dew Pitch Black, you can read the Impulsive Buy’s review of it here<\/a> or if your carpal tunnel is acting up and isn’t allowing you to click anything, I’ll just tell you that it has the same caffeine goodness as regular Mountain Dew, except with a blast of grape flavor.<\/p>\n

Also it’s not really pitch black, it’s more like goth purple.<\/p>\n

The only difference between Pitch Black 2 and the original Pitch Black is the sour bite, which the original lacked. Personally, I kind of like it better without the bite, but Pitch Black 2 is still good.<\/p>\n

However, just like all Mountain Dew variations, Pitch Black 2 doesn’t make me want to do anything extreme, like jump out of a plane, do a backflip on a motorcycle, or jump over the Great Wall of China with a skateboard.<\/p>\n

Also, just like last year, Mountain Dew Pitch Black 2 will only be around for a limited time. But thank goodness it will be around longer than the number of days Baby Geniuses 2 spent in theaters.<\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Mountain Dew Pitch Black 2
\nPurchase Price:<\/b> $1.39 (20-ounce)
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Good grape taste. Same amount of caffeine as regular Mountain Dew. A monkey juggling its own poop while peddling a tricycle through hoops of fire.
\nCons:<\/b> Limited Edition. I prefer the original version, without the sour bite. Caddyshack 2, Speed 2, Baby Geniuses 2, and both Sweatin’ To The Oldies. Listening to Madonna speak about a noble cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
