Mountain Dew actually has a taste of its own. I really... can't explain it. I'd say its a mixture of a sprite and a red bull but not as carbonated as a sprite. I used to buy like 2 or 3 when I was in High School and stay up all night playing TFC. Years later, I'd buy a cherry mountain dew or whatever they're called when I had a CS match.

They're pretty good but is it true they lower your sperm count? I've heard that shit since I was like 10... hasn't stopped me though hehe.

yeah it's like a very sweet citrusy sports drink, closest thing we have here is Lucozade (only I seem to remember that Mountain Dew is a lot nicer)

Yeah maybe. I've had it in the Med a couple of times. Bought a big bottle of it and walked up a mountain to this castle on the top once, during a heatwave on the Greek Island of Kos. Finished all the dew by the time I was half way up. Was loosing it slightly by the time I got to the top, then started to halucinate on the way down. Stood talking to a donkey for a bit....

Anyway... Lipton Ice Tea (Peach) FTW!!

I used to only be able to get it at the theatres, and it looks like carbonated urine.

Tastes great though.

Yeah, to me it tastes like if you set candy floss on fire and then doused it in a bucket of fizzy water...

Do the Dew. I've always liked Mountain Dew. Although there was this one time my brother threw up from drinking too much Code Red.

Hey Tennovan, it is true that it lowers your sperm count but I believe its from the bottling materials that soda manufacturers use instead of the actual soda itself. Not like shes gonna notice a few little swimmers absent from her face.

Mountain Dew is evil....

It has taken over my fridge.


Don't drink it if you have a low tolerance for caffeine

Never had Mountain Dew, I saw a can of it once that someone found in London and posted a pic on the internet.

Now if we want hyper drinks, Tesco Kick. Its Red-Bull, more caffeine, half the price of a can of red bull and you get a litre of it.
