We're all a little crazy

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Honestly I'm more impressed by your categorical inventory of the exact kind of Mountain dew you'd been drinking for years.
As for explanation, not everything is owed an explanation. That's part of my issue with the idea of god in the first place, it's an act of trying to define what cannot be explained because for an unfortunate number of people having an answer is more important than not giving one unless you can confirm it's correct or at least approximate or in the direction of a correct answer.
Maybe there is a higher power out there, maybe the supernatural is lurking behind every darkened window and hidden alley, maybe 40k is a prophecy of times to come sent in the form of a table top wargame fortelling the danger of beings worshipped as gods who lust after feasting on our souls, what matters is that all of that is just a story we tell ourselves to pretend those questions aren't still there because an unanswered question is the true incarnation of madness and terror to most people.
God is the King In Yellow, a cloaked masked figure built to contain all the emptiness we fear in the universe.
It's not so much I was categorizing the Mountain Dew, it's that I'd specifically only been drinking flavored mountain dews, so a non-flavored one would have been a clear outliers, just for the record.
