So much Mountain Dew!
I never understood the popularity. Mountain Dew tastes awful, and I don't ever remember any of my friends being into it.
Is it a meme, like everyone has it on their desk, but nobody is actually drinking it? LOL
I had always heard that it contained more caffeine than other sodas, so that was enough for most teens back then to want it.
I was a guarana antartica drinker in my teens. More expensive, but damn is that delicious. Great drink mixer too. If you ever get a chance to try making a guarana antartica mojito, holy shit.
Ah! Well, that might explain it. I didn't even realize it was a caffeinated drink, but my god, it still tastes terrible. 😂
In Canada it didn't use to be caffeinated (non-dark pops weren't allowed to contain caffeine, but things labeled as an energy drink were). That law changed a few years ago. Maybe that's why it wasn't as popular here back then?
That would make a lot of sense! If it was only popular because of the caffeine, and it didn't have any, that would more than likely explain why I never really saw it in the 90s.
Back in my day we mainlined mountain dew like it was water.
