The concoction is made from combining Red Bull and Mountain Dew. Mom mixes these into a third bottle and slaps the "Go Go Juice" label on the side. Said toddler is encouraged to drink this all through the filming day to give her a much needed burst of mania that reality shows have come to depend on for ratings. The toddler and mom in question happen to be from Georgia. Even so, I didn't have any trouble understanding what they were saying and certainly didn't need subtitles. It made me smile thinking somewhere Yankees might be watching the show with their heads tilted, one eye squinted and their tongue sticking out trying to understand what was being said. I look for a future show with these same Mountain Dew guzzling kids to be called "Tweens With Dentures".
In another story that same morning on Good Morning America, they were talking with these Louisiana "swamp" people who wrestle alligators. Troy and his buddy, two ample bodied men take this small boat down in the bayou looking for gators to wrestle. When they find one, they pull what amounts to an extremely agitated gator into the boat and the fun begins! In case you are wondering, Troy (one of the swamp fellas) isn't stupid! He's a successful business owner who's also bilingual. His Cajun accent is mostly old French Canadian with influences of English, Spanish, West African, and Native American languages. You see, I have a lot of family from Louisiana so I know these things.
Since when did Southerners become foreigners? Sister moved to Ohio a few months ago and while grocery shopping one day she noticed "Southern food" on the "International Food" aisle! This really got me tickled. I guess we Southerners can have the last laugh. Personally I enjoy the fact that we have our own secret language that Yankees cant understand. As long as they know, its a two way street!
