Dreamt just before waking up this morning that I was a character in a superhero movie where everything was sort of... condiment-themed? The antagonist was a guy attempting to manifest relish, but he couldn’t control it and a sticky green wave was threatening to engulf a shopping mall. The heroes trying to stop him included an older man who possessed the Power of a Neighbourhood Cookout, and whose battle cry was “Somebody watch my Pepsi for me!”
I want to emphasize that in the dream this was all played with a completely serious, MCU-like tone: I was one of a group of younger heroines who feared Barbecue Dad’s strategy was too confrontational and wold just get more people hurt. We were racing to get to Relish Guy first and talk him down, as we had reason to believe he was misguided rather than actually malevolent. Meanwhile, Barbecue Dad was advising his men “tell your loved ones to watch your Pepsi for you,” in a quiet, sombre way that indicated he knew he was likely sending them to their deaths.
