If you mix Mountain Dew with any cheap whiskey it becomes very drinkable. Pretty much every mental case I ever dealt with had a big bottle of Mountain Dew for breakfast. I can't think of one exception.

Speedway still sells it.

I don't remember what company tried to market a soft drink called Quirst. It was a similar flavor as Squirt. But it started a law suit because it used the same letters as Squirt. I'm not sure either who made Squirt, but the lawsuit ended the Quirst brand.

In Minnesota if you use the word 'soda' people don't know what the hell you're talking about.

I do know that the bottles used to spontaneously explode in the early days of bottling distribution. Maybe that?

Probably because Coke used to have cocaine in it.

I like Mtn Dew but gotta stay away from it.

I love the caffeine and sweetness (when I want the sweetness like when I’m exercising in the heat) but generally drink a cup or two of black coffee in the morning and water the rest of the day.

My dentist and big pharma would certainly prefer I drink the Dew…

Back when I was young, dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and Mt. Dew first came out. At the time, the bottles all stated "Bottled by Tex and the Boys", or some such. Do they still say that? (Is it even available in glass bottles?)

I don’t care for it. To sweet and not enough fizz. My soda of choice is Coke Zero.

The original energy drink..........I remember when it first cam out. I can't do full sugar sodas any more. Diet Mt Dew has a bit too much caffeine for me . I like the flavor, just not the jitters. I do drink a couple diet Pepsi's every day. Don't like coffee at all.

Soda got the term pop because when someone would open a glass bottle by removing the bottle cap with a bottle opener, because of the co2 gas ( carbonation ) pressure, it would make a popping noise. The warmer it was, the louder the pop.

King Cola was good, think it might have been an RC product.

Used to hit a hotdog place, they had RC back in the day.

I washed down a Zyrtec w a Code Red today.

I used to work for Seven up years ago. Coca cola offered me a office job with eight secretaries. My job was to knock seven up.
