Isn't Mountain Dew just available in the bottles?
The Mountain Dew made here is a slightly different formulation, due to EU regulation. The taste is slightly
off, even sweeter than the US version, which is already too-sweet-but-it-just-hits-the-spot-when-I'm-eating-Taco-Bell. It's one of the few drinks where I
want ice because it dilutes the syrupy sweetness of the drink.
The only reason I like it (and the food pairing, if you'll pardon me sounding ridiculously pretentious) is I worked at Taco Bell throughout undergrad, and we were allowed free soft drinks while we were working. I don't like Pepsi or Dr. Pepper, so Mountain Dew was the least bad of the options. I started out with just tiny 'water' cups of it with a bit of ice. Then I was getting full-size drink cups, with ice and a lid and straw. I knew I was in trouble the first day I bought Mountain Dew while not at work. Eventually, my habit got really bad. Like,
bad bad. But I was always exceptionally healthy at my checkups, and I could afford it, so I didn't care.
