3. hmm, I think
to fill up space?...

Coincidence here though...I looked at an expiration date of a two liter bottle of Diet Mt. Dew just the other day, it expired 9yrs ago....

I think they just keep the dust off, and pray that someday...someone will buy it...


:D

4. Bleah
American carbonated soft drinks are so devoid of anything even resembling nutritional value. And, apparently, becoming even moreso :puke:

7. I have to drink that stuff.
They won't let me have real coffee any more. One gets used to it.

11. That's the chosen swill of the Four Horsemen's Four Horses.
Thank you for the hue and cry. I'm on my knees praying like never before as we speak.

If I make it in the Rapture in a squeaker, you can have the condo.

17. I woke up in a penitent mood...

... anyway, this morning. Vaguely worried about the End Days. Yours was the first thread that caught my bleary, uncaffeinated eye.

Wide awake, straight to my knees, baby.

Mountain Dew is meant to be served straight up, maybe on the rocks, preferably with a sack full of a border run from the Bell.

When I saw your thread, I knew my Book of Revelation well enough to know what it meant.

Yea, verily, it hath been foretold: "Their horses shall drink yellow swill, and the dew of the morn shall not quench them!"

Seriously, folks. Go off the diet, and grab a chalupa like there's no tomorrow.

- Dave

P.S. Thanks for the warning. Hope you manage to make it out in the last wave, too; the spare keys are in the garden gnome beside the door, just in case you don't.

18. I wish i could find Diet/CF Dew...
I drink Diet Dew a lot anyway, so having the CF version would be nice at night, so i didn't get the jitters and end up all night making LOLcats and talking to other insomniacs.
