I cannot stand Mountain Dew. I find it to be the most disgusting of all the sodas out there, not to mention the fact that the few times I tried to drink some, it hit my stomach like a time bomb. Where I live people drink it like it's water, and there is such a high rate of obesity and no one has their teeth!!! I prefer Pepsi if I'm going to drink pop at all, but generally I drink Arizona Green Tea or water. I like sun tea (unsweetened), and herbal teas. I drink A LOT of tea. Sorry if I offended the MD drinkers, I just don't share your love, lol. When I was a teen, I prefered Coke, but switched over to Pepsi a few years back. I CANNOT drink diet anything. Those artificial sweeteners make me sick as dog. Anything with Aspartame makes me sick. Can't even eat Splenda, despite the fact that it's suppose to be a sugar derivative. I tried, but I was doubled over in pain, so I never tried again. I have a wickedly sensitive stomach. Can't drink most alcohols without severe pain either, so maybe a Sam Adams once in a blue moon is ok, but I haven't even had one of those since 2007!
