Mountain Dew has an ugly new logo..

Sign in to disble this ad
and on the 2-liter bottes anyway - it's got the caffeine content. Something like 36mg per 12 oz IIRC. I always thought it was more like 55.

That's supposed to be a lot, but it mostly just makes me tired.

Don't drink Pepsie. Drink Dr. Pepper or Dr. Pepper. They are better for your soul.

Or like this. Equally ugly. I don't understand the shards of glass, or whatever they are. And the abbreviation...surely that couldn't be Maki's fault?

I still plan to use the 2-liter bottle to store antifreeze. Orange bottle for the Chevy.

Dear Paul Santucci,

Under federal decency statutes we are not permitted to depict naked men on our cans and bottles and frankly have no interest in the idea even if, to use your words it was "slutty but still tastefully done." We realize how important this is to you based on the sheer volume of letters sent regarding this one issue, but we hope our decision not to implement it will not keep you from enjoying the crisp, refreshing taste of Mountain Dew.

Sincerely,
Joe
Mountain Dew Customer Support
