gummi berry juice..
have i ever mentioned how much i LUV mountain dew? the other day when esther and i were at the grocery store, i literally freaked out when i saw this 24-pack tailgater pack for like $5.49. i freaked cuz: 1) i never seen so much mountain dew in one package before, and 2) its usually like $3 for every 12 cans. so needless to say, im more than halfway thru the pack..
seriously, there is somethin i find so refreshin in mountain dew. ill admit coke is good. esther got me really into coke and there is NOTHIN like chuggin a nice, cold can of the classic while eatin take-out chinese--i imagine it has somethin to do w/ washin down all the msg..
but mountain dew is somethin else. its sweet. its not as heavy as coke. and its just loaded w/ caffeine and yellow-5. funny, i was scourin the mountain dew fansites and came across this warnin: "Please Note: Mountain Dew is not contraception! It does not lower sperm count, and/or reduce the risk of pregnancy!"
haha, cmon--no one needs to say it outright. everyone knows its all a myth.... right? isnt it? hmm, maybe i should email the surgeon general..
i know there are dissenters out there--the chief bein esther. she wont touch that stuff. and i cant blame her--i mean after all, look at the color. i would say its of a very unnatural hue but.....it isnt. plus, ive read mountain dew has the highest concentration of caffeine of all soft drinks. so wut--like sodas are suppose to be good for you in any kinda way..
i used to luv mello yello more than mountain dew--i think cuz its taste sweeter to my taste buds. but now i do the dew cuz for wutever reason baltimore area grocery stores dont pack mello yello. oh well, who cares--as long as it has that magical ingredient of yellow-5..

hey cp1:
Actually mountain dew ONLY has 37mg of caffeine which isn't that much. Jolt has one of the most with 72mg of caffeine per 12oz, that is about 2x more that regular coke and a lot more that MD. Also Jolt has different flavors not just the cola version they also have a MD flavor(Citrus Flavor I think) one that is really good! However, I can't seem to find/buy that stuff anymore. 7-11 used to carry it, but not anymore.
I read an article this past week about how Coke's Mello Yello brand was suffering for a long time and was having a hard time competing with MD. So they introduced a new brand a few years ago called Surge. Now that is a tasty drink(it is actually green not yellow)...however due to poor sales in its 2nd year, coke went back to Mello Yello. But if you can find surge, I recommend trying that...the brand wasn't suppose to compete against MD, b/c it has a different taste, but I think it is probably better than MY and almost as good as MD.
