Roundup Ready posted:Pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but I had a friend turn me on to what she called a hillbilly highball. Mt dew and bourbon. Tastes like a half assed whiskey sour. mountain dew was originally developed to be mixed with whiskey, and its name is just a slang term for whiskey, so this makes sense

yeehaw quote:The early logos featured a barefooted "Grandpappy" hillbilly with a jug of moonshine. Later, in an ode to the days of Prohibition, the packaging had the hillbilly with his rifle, shooting at a federal revenue agent.

I love how deranged and needless old ad copy was. Just a whole paragraph of Mtn Dew lore for no discernible reason.

And because no sport is more high-energy and demanding on the body than video gamin', well...

the history of Mountain Dew is complex and the brand has transformed several times over the course of its existence. as an example, for a brief span the brand entered what historians refer to as "the Feet Phase."  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCd7KjuBPbw

Rather than going with the usual “Mountain [x]” nomenclature, a local bottler in NE Ohio called its Mtn Dew knockoff “Hillbilly Joose”.  I’m most familiar with the green can, as it is obviously the newest one. The bottler, Cotton Club, kept it up into the late ‘90s, even as Mtn Dew was going Xtreem!, until it went under. They could make out like bandits with the Q-Anon/Pwease No Steppy crowd if they modernize this by giving the fed modern gear and changing the hooch runner into a redhat gamer/Ammon Bundy amalgamation root beer has a new favorite as of 01:03 on Mar 21, 2023 |

CzarChasm posted:They used to sell a Mtn Dew flavored vodka years ago (The Dude), and my FIL really enjoyed it. I managed to find a source for the syrup, so every Christmas I make him a few bottles of the stuff. The only problem is keeping it, as the syrup takes up a lot of shelf space for something that only gets handled once or twice a year. This is absolute top-tier gifting and in-lawing. Great job.

Dew-garrita or Dew-quari for example You know, I'm subscribed to a few different cocktail you tubes, maybe I can go over the backlogs and see what would be "good".

last time I ate little caesars I said never again, it's so bland and lovely. but we got some last week cause we moved and it was even worse than before, like straight up almost no sauce and just greasy and bland. total waste of time. oh and the thin crust was abominable.
