I think "mountain dew" was originally a euphemism for moonshine (which is itself a euphemism for homemade ethanol).gilraen wrote: Mon Aug 12, 2024 11:54 am (wasn't it created in Appalachia to compete for moonshine dollars?)

If it helps when sued by a consumer who found a mouse in his can PepsiCo used the defence of that was impossible because the drink would have dissolved the mouse so the consumer would never know.YellowKing wrote: Sun Aug 11, 2024 9:36 am I confess I like Diet Mountain Dew. Yes, I'm aware it's completely disgusting. No, I can't explain why I still like it. I've pretty much given up all sodas, but I still grab a large Diet Dew every time I go to Taco Bell.
A bit like maga how they claim their toxicity and incompetence means their disgusting policies will never happen.

In response to Ball's claims, PepsiCo filed with the court an 8 April 2010 affidavit from Lawrence McGill, a licensed veterinarian with a speciality in veterinary pathology. In his affidavit, Dr. McGill stated that after a mouse had been submerged in a fluid such as Mountain Dew for 30 days or more, the mouse would "have been transformed into a 'jelly-like' substance":
If a mouse is submerged in a fluid with the acidity of Mountain Dew, the following will occur due to the normal acidity of the fluid:
a. Between four days to at most seven days in the fluid, the mouse will have no calcium in its bones and bony structures.
b. Within four to seven days in the fluid, the mouse's abdominal structure will rupture. Its cranial cavity (head) is also likely to rupture within that time period.
c. By 30 days of exposure to the fluid, all of the mouse's structures will have disintegrated to the point the structures (excepting possibly a portion of the tail) will not be recognizable and, therefore, the animal itself will not be recognizable. Instead, after 30 days in the fluid, the mouse will have been transformed into a "jelly-like" substance.
That's my purse! I don't know you!

My hat is off to the unsung heroes who do things like count how many times someone says “eh” in Strange Brew.

As a Canadian with many relatives living in the Ottawa Valley (known for rural communication), that seems like too few.
