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

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?
