in canada there is no caffein in mountain dew because it is classified as a citrus beverage and our food and drug administration says that citrus beverages cannot contain caffein, so here they just cram it with as much sugar they can while still maintaining its liquid state.
i worked a brief stint one winter on the mountain as a mountain dew "dewd" riding my snowboard and giving out mountain dew to kids - portraying the "dewd" lifestyle as they put it at the meeting where they also explained the caffein issue...
i feel as though i left a little bit of my humanity on that mountain

Darcy, you don't know what you're missing man! Now that Code Red and that other orangey mountain dew stuff is out....mmmmMMMM.. good stuff! Do the dew baby! (perhaps I've had too much today?) Ok, deep breath. I'm allright now.
You should know that some manufacturers (Coca Cola) are surreptitiously adding caffeine to Root Beer (Barq's), a drink traditionally caffeine-free, where its only logical purpose is to increase the addictive quality of the beverage.
