Mouse In Mountain Dew Would Turn Into 'Jelly Like' Goo, Pepsi Says

[Rivercard]

Mountain Dew drinkers know their distinctively yellow beverage of choice is packed with caffeine, but a new lawsuit might get them thinking about what else is in there.

PepsiCo, the drink's manufacturer, is being sued by Ronald Ball of Wisconsin, who claims in a 2009 lawsuit that he opened a can from a vending machine, tasted something foul, and spat out a dead mouse, according to MadisonRecord.com.

However, Pepsi is now moving to dismiss the case, citing testimony from an expert who claims that acid used when the drink is bottled would have caused the rodent to transform into a "'jelly-like' substance," according to LegalNewsline.com.

Mountain Dew's mouse-dissolving capabilities may also be helped by another ingredient in the bubbly beverage: brominated vegetable oil (BVO), a chemical that Gizmodo points out is banned in Europe and Japan, but is allowed in limited quantities in sodas like Mountain Dew, Squirt and Fanta Orange.

BVO is added to soda for the purpose of giving it more consistent flavoring

Ewwwwwweeeeeeeeyuck

Doesn't "spat out a dead mouse" either not make sense or support the green goo argument?

How do you sip something and somehow get an entire dead mouse in your mouth? What he didn't notice until the entire rodent corpse was in his mouth?

I guess WoWarcraft is fun. And maybe it was dark in his mom's basement, but sheesh!

 

[Jersey Girl]

Take that, BIM!

 

[Rivercard]

Ewwwwwweeeeeeeeyuck

I don't know what's worse, the dead mouse or the poison additives. I love Gatorade, but after reading about BVO my days of drinking that are over starting today.

 

[Mulli]

Take that, BIM!

BIM doesn't live in Wisc or in his mom's basement. Or does he?!?

He drinks a ton of Mountain Dew and, perhaps, gooey mice.

At least we know he won't spontaneously combust.

Does this mean BIM will turn into a jelly like goo? Who'll make the birthday threads?

 

[Hollywood]

Eeeewwwwww gross......Mountain Dew!?!?!?

The brand is irrelevant. A dead mouse through the opening of a can? No way.

A bottle? Maybe if the McKenzie brothers were involved...



Had a couple mouse-free Dews today.

Take off, aye

They don't charge extra for the mouse.

Maybe there's a bunch of dead MOUse bodies floating around in the big vats of Really BIG HILL Dew at the Matty Dew Factory and there's some guy whose job it is to make sure every kan gets at least one? Huh? Didya ever think of that smart guy? I've rated Mountain Dew and I'm giving at a 993.16 on the scale for possiblities of Dead Mouseys Floating in the vat scale.

Probably because they give those jobs to guys from USC. Trojans know dead mice when they see them.

THEN they put the cover on because Whiz hates them.

How do you sip something and somehow get an entire dead mouse in your mouth? What he didn't notice until the entire rodent corpse was in his mouth?

I've been analyzing this very closely over the last few days, and I've come to the scientific conclusion that it would be quite easy for a mouse to gain access to the inside of a can during the processing phase. Those little suckers are slippery and elusive even when dry, and unlike Mulli, they often effortlessly glide into tiny holes.

Now, you have to figure that the somewhat bitter taste of a gooey mouse should have been evident upon first sip. Therefor he must have been thistily gulping from the get-go. So, the really important question is...... did the mouse come sliding out butt-first or face first? Having a mouse slide ass-first over your tongue like it's riding on a slip-n-slide would probably be even worse than it sounds.

I am dying to know how you know what gooey mouse tastes like.

 

[Mulli]

I am dying to know how you know what gooey mouse tastes like.

Tastes like gooey chicken.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

Tastes like gooey chicken.

Is this first-hand knowledge? For both?

 

[Rivercard]

I am dying to know how you know what gooey mouse tastes like.

I grew up in Kentucky.
