| Mountain Dew |
Yes, soda is not healthy at all: 110 sugary calories per serving that have no real nutritional value to speak of. Yes, it may make more sense to turn to healthier alternatives for energy and enjoyment. If all I was really after was the energy, I would probably choose just to sleep more, or tough it out. The caffeine kick isn’t what makes Mountain Dew so incredible.

So what makes it so amazing?
Mountain Dew just tastes so freaking good!
The excellence is embodied primarily by the taste. I used to drink many different flavors of mountain dew: Code Red, Live Wire, and any of the other promotional flavors that were out at any given time. I still enjoy the occasional Code Red, but as I’ve gotten older I have turned into more of a Mountain Dew purist. I drink the original Dew. No Diet Dew, no Caffeine Free crap. It has to be the real thing. I would rather abstain than drink a pathetic modification of the perfection-in-a-can that is Mountain Dew.

| Drinking Mountain Dew |
There’s another thing: Mountain Dew is best consumed from a chilled 12 oz. can. I have learned to recognize the different nuances that are contained in the Dew when consumed from different sized cans, at different temperatures, and from plastic bottles. And I can definitely tell when a fountain drink has been mixed correctly.
For true Mountain Dew excellence: drink it from a can.
This excellence and flavor has propelled me to heights of intellectual and physical prowess never before experienced by another human being. The inspiration and energy contained in that fizzy green liquid is truly a magic potion.
What gives you the kick that you need to excel? Is it Mountain Dew, or something else?
Please excuse the hyperbole towards the end there... I'm all hopped up on caffeine, and am just a little bit excitable at the moment.

Love the Dew, especially from a chilled can! 10% real fruit juice you know! What's in the other 90%?
Haha yes! Back in high school I would have one every morning, and I'd joke around saying i was just having my morning OJ. As to what's the rest of it... i operate under a "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
5 Hour Energy all the way. That's what gets me going. Skip the calories, get the energy.
That's my opinion. =)
But the taste man, what about the taste??? Haha! No but really, It's all about the all-encompassing Mountain Dew drinking experience!
Plus, if there's no calories in one of those things, what exactly is giving you the energy? Haha, that's scarrier than Mountain Dew!
