Would ya’ please pass the jelly-like substance?
Which is worse, a dissolved mouse in the pop can, or a large ROACH floating in the oil bin in a theater, it happened. I saw it when working in the theater concession, went to tell the manager. He said, "Fish it out and go on".
Never ate popcorn in the theaters again, NEVER.
Yikes! No more mountain dew for me. If it will dissolve a mouse...
The chief of pediatric dentistry where I work complains about this all the time. According to him, the sugar/acid combo found only in Hillbilly Piss Mt Dew is excellent at eroding all enamel from your teeth.
Carbonated soda has a pH of about 2.5-3. I doubt very much that the mouse would be dissolved. It is however about as acidic as apple cider vinegar. (Ask your dentist!)
This is likely a hoax and lawyer bait, but I don’t much care for the BS response from Pepsico either.
But I happen to have some Mountain Dew and work in a mouse-infested building, so let’s play Mr. Science!
Dissolve a mouse in a can of soda? NO WAY. Not even Mt. Dew. Try it with a mouse sized piece of beef jerkey if you must, but NO WAY. Even with the soda boiling hot, you would still have....remains like bones, hair, fat. The so called expert should be ashamed.
I had mouse in my house - my wife would only let me address the situation with non-lethal means. That mouse tortured me for weeks. A crown fell out of my mouth when I was eating chips, so I left it on the kitchen counter. That !@#$%^&* mouse stole my tooth. It took me about a week to find it and I had to tear up the kitchen to do it!
I cook on a regular bases with my young grandchildren, a mouse in my soda would be inconsequential.
What’s in it, caffeine or sulfuric acid?
Remember the movie “Robocop”.
One of the bad guys gets partially dissolved by a green liquid near the end.
Now we know what that liquid was...
They are lying. mt dew is not going to dissolve hair teeth and bone.
Mousin Goo?
Do they charge more for the cans with a mouse in them? I’d be willing to pay an extra buck or two, but not over that.
If so, the Pepsi people are pretty stupid. All they really have to do is show the whole canning process. There is no way a mouse can get in. Don't get an expert to testify that if people use their product it will dissolve them. These cases almost always turn out to be frauds.
I suspect that this story is poorly written. I’ll bet a shiny new nickel that the expert something to the effect that a) the acid would dissolve parts of the mouse, leaving clear signs, b) the mouse that was sent to us was completely undissolved, ergo c) the mouse was never in a can of Mountain Dew.
I’d be curious to hear the results from the FReepers who indicated their willingness to try the meat-in-the-Mountain-Dew experiment. IMO, the container should be sealed and meat allowed to soak for several days, to come as close to the alleged circumstances as possible.
When I was an army brat back in the 70’s, I remember hearing on the radio about a woman claiming that she opened a can of Coca-Cola with a rat inside.
52 posts and not one Bob and Doug reference.
Lie - I have scientific proof - my daughter did a science project 4 years ago on acidity and one of the acids was mt dew (love the stuff even though dad called it horse p@ss). We put chicken bones into mason jars filled with the diff acids. None completely dissolved after several weeks. (she got an A).
We decided to keep the jars in the garage to see what would happen and pull them out every summer - guess what while flimsier every year the bones are still there. The expert is a fraud.
I had a cat in my coffee last night.
