Anybody else drink Mountain Dew?

[fireman43]

It would be neat if it really worked. Especially if you pulled a gag on someone who had no idea and handed them one in a dark room. Talk about freaking out!

Whatever you do, don't drink the "Game Fuel" by Mountain Dew. It tastes like cherry cough syrup mixed with Mountain Dew. It may have 73mg of caffeine per 12-ounce can, but it's not worth the taste. Blech.

Kinda tastes like melted slurpee. I've tasted worse, but it's nothing to go out of your way for...

Ok, the second attempt yielded the same results. Can Baking Soda or Hydro Peroxide go bad? I'm not sure how old they are, but they're both at least a month or two old(probably older). I'm wondering if they've gone stale enough to keep the intended reaction from happening? Any tips?

A month or two? No way the baking soda or hydro peroxide are bad in that period of time. I have hydro peroxide that's years old and it still works on cuts and scrapes, so I'm positive it will take a long time for it to go bad. Baking soda also isn't going to go bad.

The baking soda could be over a year old. I really have no idea. I just know it's not any younger than 2 months. Sounds like it might be a hoax then...

Ding ding ding.

I'm now thinking they cut open a couple of light sticks without breaking the capsule of peroxide inside, and added the liquid to the soda bottle (would not release light because no peroxide yet). When they add the capfulls of peroxide, they get light. Whoo hoo .. glow in the dark Dew.

If you want to make a fake like these guys, try that.

Meh, I've seen plenty of glow sticks. At least I didn't destroy more than a 1/4 bottle of Dew. Thanks for all the info though!

I thought soda (or "pop" as we call it in these parts) was only for mixing with cheap alcohol.
