Rest area on I-55 had this ridiculously blatant #MountainDew knockoff. They even lifted the color scheme. My brain registered it as the real thing, until I looked again. I don’t think I’ve ever come closer to actually confusing one brand for another; wonder how many tired travelers have bought this thinking it was the real thing.

A bottle of “Arctic Rain” soda in a vending machine on interstate 55 in Mississippi. At first glance you’d easily mistake it for Mountain Dew, the color scheme is the same as the real McCoy.
