The race for the White House is heating up and somehow a soda brand has found itself in the middle of rips between candidates and potential candidates.
It all started when Ohio Sen. and Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance made a comment during his hometown rally that involved Diet Mountain Dew
"It is the weirdest thing to me, Democrats say it's racist to believe, well they say it's racist to believe anything. I had a Diet Mountain Dew yesterday, and one today, I'm sure they're gonna call that racist too,” Vance said during a rally in Middletown. "It's good."
J.D. first responded to Beshear's comments that he isn't from Appalachia, despite Vance saying he has roots there.

There’s a Diet Mountain Dew ? Is it also caffeine Free ? LOL
Good stuff… great road trip drink. For some reason the bottles don’t taste good. But out of a fountain, it’s awesome.
mmmmm brominated vegetable oil
Well, President Trump favors Diet Coke. Looks like Vance is going with a hillbilly. variant. I miss Canada Dry Jamaica Cola and Wink.
They do have that. Its awful. Regular diet dew, slightly less so. I supplement my caffeine intake with diet dew. Code red zero dew when I can get it.
I’ll shut up my mug if you fill up my jug with some of that good old Mountain Dew.
If I heard two Kentuckians arguing about, “Mountain Dew,” I’m not sure my first thoughts would be about a soft drink.
A soft drink that didn't fly. By today's rating, totally racist.
That would be 7-up and a moon pie.
Well that prediction didn't age well. Turns out it's not racist. It's wierd.
I was so glad to hear Mountain Dew dropped the Bromelated Vegetable Oil from it’s ingredients. I can enjoy Mountain dew again.
Walmart’s Mountain Lightening for $1.00 a 2 liter tastes as good if not better.
Just watched the story of Mountain Dew on the History Channel - The inventor of Mountain Dew could not figure out how to market the drink so he sold the formula for $10 to an employee - The Brand is now worth Seven $$$Billion.
Vance’s favorite beverage. He said hopefully drinking it isn’t racist which started the whole thing.
TAB!!! LOL!!
Here's weird:
Just some "normal" democRATs.
SIMBA !! I remember that swill. Circa 1969. It was indistinguishable from Fresca.
