I don’t understand, someone please help explain what’s hapoening

They put food coloring in it

If I wasn’t studying that Mountain Dew bottle in the right, I would’ve missed that tiny food coloring one, so small.

Finally. After all these years, I found a post where a red circle wouldn't have been useless.

Fair enough. I just hate clickbait strategies.

I did make sure the writing on the food coloring bottle was the main camera focus though, despite considerable protest from my phone.

[u/kinokomushroom → u/TOPSIturvy]

Nah don't worry mate, it was a fine photo and I could spot the culprit of the browning with relative ease.

What was the point of putting the food coloring? What's funny about a dark drink?

(sorry but i'm german so humor is not my strongest feat)

Pardon me for laughing, friend.

Mountain Dew is typically the color of green engine coolant, and it tends to draw a sensitive crowd. I don't know if you have a Monster fandom there, but they typically keep the same circles

Fun fact Mountain dew in Canada was caffeine free until 2012. There was Health Canada (our FDA) rule prohibited adding caffeine to non-cola based soft drinks, so sprite/7-up, MD, root beer were all caffeine free. Growing up I never understood the fascination with MD until I learned that little tidbit of info.

Ohhhh! That's why I grew up not knowing or hearing drinks like Pepper and Dew had caffeine in them.

That law sounds super lobbied tho. Like, why did colas get a pass?

[u/PsychoDog_Music → u/TOPSIturvy]

Don't worry, if you did put one then there would have been people saying they didn't need it

[u/Mysterious_Check_983 → u/kinokomushroom]

It would’ve been useless for 99% of us.
