All soda is poison, particularly Mountain Dew.

Makes no sense.

They know people hate it and would appreciate, if not the original formula, something more pure with cane sugar, and no artificial chemicals.
Now if they went back to the Original Original formula it might be worth giving it a shot again .

You know, the formula from about 1890.

Really it’s a problem on some places. I read in areas such as Appalachia, serious dental problems are prevalent in kids because they start drinking Mountain Dew as toddlers, that moms were actually putting it in bottles and silly cups. There was a group of volunteer dentists that we’re setting up free makeshift clinics there because of it.

I can't recall which sugar documentary it was.. Either Fed Up or That Sugar Movie. One dentist had a "dentistry truck" (pretty much a food truck, but for dental services) that he drove around to help folks in those communities.

Yeah, one kid in his late-teens needed most of his teeth replaced In the end, the kid would STILL drink more Mountain Dew!

It's hard to eat a healthy serving of Mountain Dew when 9oz of that stuff puts you close to your daily, recommended limit. I never got into soda (don't like carbonation), but have managed to be more mindful of sugar in other areas. It's a never ending battle of wits for one's health!

Yes, it’s hard. And it seems like supermarkets will have one thing I like in a healthy version, but then it gets discontinued. Like the whole store belongs to the unhealthy people, they can’t let me have that one thing I liked. I wish we had a Whole Foods but the closest one is 45 minutes away in a high traffic area I hate driving to.

Of course healthy stuff isn’t going to sell as well, just order less of it. But those who do try to buy healthy things are loyal customers who will still spend $150 on other things, too.

I actually do like soda, and used to drink a lot of Diet Pepsi. But my mom has severe osteoporosis, she looks like the hunchback of Notre Dame. So I don’t need to accelerate bone loss in my own. I have yet to find a substitute I really like though.

I like the carbonation, and the burping side effect helps if I ate a lot, lol.

The only good that came out of this thread was the Flinstones Winston advertisement from 1961. That was great, the rest is nonsense. Again nobody thinks sodas are not bad for you but to make comments as if it's like drinking liquid asbestos is a bit over the top.

Soda is so darned good over crushed ice on a hot day, though (I know multiple people who regularly drink MD for breakfast instead of coffee or tea).
