I drink caffiene occasionally but I'm not addicted to it. I can still be awake perfectly well during the day without any.

It's more the sugar I want. :p

I drink at least a 2 liter of coke or pepsi a day...whatever is on sale. If i wake up and don't have it, I feel like total crap. Start getting headaches and stuff.

As far as I know they don't sell the 'true' mountain dew in some places. If you need some send me a pm, I'll send it over if you'll pay for everything :p

Edit - the wonders of wikipedia:

Quote:
Mountain Dew is a citrus flavored soft drink produced by PepsiCo, Inc. It was first marketed locally in 1948 and across the United States in 1964.

Mountain Dew often incurs the disapproval of health experts due to its relatively high caffeine content. However, Mountain Dew marketed in Australia and Canada ? as well as several U.S. states ? has no caffeine added at all. Mountain Dew also contains tartrazine ("FD&C Yellow No. 5" in the US), which could lead to allergic reactions in some people. This has also led to an urban legend that the Yellow No. 5 in Mountain Dew reduces the sperm count of male drinkers. This is, however, a myth. Diet Mountain Dew contains aspartame. Mountain Dew's brominated vegetable oil is another source of contention. More than 100 countries ban brominated vegetable oil for its adverse health effects. However, the exact quantity of bromine put into fat cells from BVO is questioned.

In Europe, Mountain Dew is available in the following countries:

* Iceland (since 2002)
* Finland (since 2002)
* Poland (since 2002)
* Norway (since 2005)
* Switzerland
* Romania (since 2003)
* Germany (only at a few gas stations, as well as at Subway restaurants)
* Spain (since 2004)
* Malta (since 2005)
* The Netherlands (Only at America Today branches, and at EnergyBoost.nl)
* Hungary
* Bulgaria (since 2005)

A version of the drink was marketed for three years in the UK during the late 1990s. However, it is believed (more of an urban myth) that Mountain Dew is actually illegal (its American formulation at least) to sell in the UK due to its high caffeine content and excessive artificial ingredients. The version actually sold in the UK was a lurid green colour (it stained the teeth and tongue of its drinkers for several hours after consumption) and contained far more caffeine, synthetic sugars, and artficial colorings than the American version.

Mountain Dew was originally marketed as "zero proof moonshine" and had pictures of hillbillies on the bottle until 1973. Today's marketing target is radically different. The drink is mainly marketed to people in the 20-30 year old demographic group, and Mountain Dew advertising creates a connection between the drink and extreme sports.

Recently, Mountain Dew has used the characters from Spy vs. Spy in commercials that feature them fighting over the drink.

Mountain Dew syrups are used as Slurpee flavors.

If I were you I would suggest cutting down slowly. Drink Green Tea, probably one of the healthiest drinks on the planet, it has lower caffeine amounts and will help prevent the headaches caused by withdrawal.

Lately, I have taken to drinking a lot of Chai instead of Soda.
Mhm yes give me a vanilla Chai or a green tea over a Soda any day. Got to love those antioxidants. ^_^

I see. Pop is still bad for you! You are right - here in Canada the MD is caffiene free.

Tony G 11-24-2005 08:59 AM
Yum mountain dew. <3

I could go for some right now. Should have bought some from work.
