Don’t drink mountain dew.
« on: January 30, 2012, 01:57:39 pm »
There was a report on the news one day that a man was sueing Pepsi because he found a rat in his mountain dew.  Well Pepsi’s response was that there is no way he would have found a rat because the acid in the soda would have dissolved it into a pile of gloop.  I never liked Mountain Dew anyway (I drink 7up or Sprite.) but seriously bones and all?  If the acid is that powerful what is it doing to the inside of your body?  And if it can dissolve a rat doesn’t that mean its unhealthy to drink?  Why isn’t the FDA on this?  I know the acid in the stomach is strong but still.  I certainly wouldn’t want to drink something that can dissolve a rat.  Pepsi didn’t have a better excuse?  I would have said that there was no way he would have found a rat in his drink because of the strict standards we use in our factories.  Anyway the guy wins if he’s got the rat to show in court.

      I would say: Do not drink any sodas, any kind of sodas. Avoid health problems: Dental, diabetes, obesity and much more. If thirsty, drink water with vitamins and minerals.

My family owned a motorcycle shop when I was younger; the mechanics would clean carburetors by soaking them in coca cola.   ;D

I am so glad that I have never liked Mountain Dew!  My son used to drink a 2 liter bottle almost everyday. I am so glad he got out of that habit!
I am pretty sure most soft drinks are bad for you in large amounts!

I LIKE THE WAY MOUNTAIN DEW TASTE BUT EVERY TIME I DRINK IT I GET SICK. IT DOES NOT AGREE WITH ME. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT ITS DOING TO OUR INSIDES! DRINK WATER OR POUR SOME JUICE INTO SOME CLUB SODA.

I think almost any type of soda can do similar things.

Too much of any soda is not good. And, diet is probably worse for you than the regular...with the aspartame stuff.  :fish:
