Caffiene-free Diet Mt. Dew is available in Indiana as well.
Logo
I can't understand why the logo picture was changed. That isn't the new logo...that's the old one! I just finished drinking a Mountain Dew, so I'm pretty sure. ; ) I have the bottle right here. Also, that logo really shouldn't be a jpeg. I would just revert it, but I was wondering if anyone had any reasons not to? Colin Hill 11:24, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)
Okay, I changed it back. Colin Hill 06:25, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
- I changed it back. It IS the new logo, it has not been used much yet on the bottles or cans but is used on the MD site and commercials. It is coming into use. I was not able to get a GIF image of it, sorry. --Evanwohrman 02:46, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- er ... is there any good reason why *both* logos cannot be shown; especially as they are both in use (hey, a history of logos for any product is also interesting and encyclopaedic!) --Vamp:Willow 12:37, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I think you should put in something about the slogans they have had. Example: "Do the Dew."--Cyberman 02:46, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I've never really liked Mountain Dew. It has so much caffine it makes me sick.

I think that the well-known rumor regarding the yellow #5 food coloring in Mountain Dew causing men's gonads to shrink would make a nice addition to the article.

The Straight Dope: Mountain Dew = shrinking 'nads? (http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a970829a.html)
Some may feel it doesn't merit inclusion because it isn't true, but I feel that it adds a lot of flavor to the mountain dew story. It's the colorful details like this that show the fascinating interactions between mountain dew, youth culture, misinformation, irrational fears, blah blah blah.
Mountain Dew Electrocution
I can't find reliable personal or web references to Mountain Dew Electrocution. Can someone provide some more reasonable verification that this is not a hoax perpetrated by the blogging community? User:chrysrobyn 03:03, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
- I deleted it. I couldn't find anything either and, in fact, I found references made in 2003 that it was coming out for the next easter....which was over a year ago. Again, nothing substantial to show it exists. Cburnett 04:44, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
- Check out the boards at www.bevnet.com for more info on this, apparently it's very delayed. ---- 217.211.208.195 (sig added by Cburnett)
