This is why I never took to Mountain Dew...

[WCGreen]

You see I was around when they released the stuff and I remember the commercials.

I drank it once and my dad told me it looked like I was drinking piss....

Now I get it, sugar and caffeine really gives you a buzz...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Wow, what a corny ad!

I never drank it either, and now I NEVER will.

[Tobin S.]

2. It was my favorite drink when I was a kid

It's amazing I still have my teeth. I hear that stuff will rot them quickly.

[Major Nikon]

3. I prefer the original

[MiddleFingerMom]

5. That looks like MiddleFingerMomMom (looks like her still, too).

[hifiguy]

4. I remember those commercials

from when I was a boy. Man, I am old. Tried it once and didn't much care for it.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

6. Hoo boy. The folks who see the word "sex" in every Disney film will flip over this...

This one's not even subtle-
Daisy Mae gives us a cheesecake shot up her mini dress followed by the line "There's a bang in every bottle"?
Is it just me? Wow.

[WCGreen]

10. Saw that one as well.....

Best part of the commercial....

How's about how they portrayed the good people of Appalachia.

(you should see how I spelled Appalachia and still got to Appalachia. We have a reallllll Gooooood Spell Checker...)

7. The original song:

They call it that good ol' mountain dew
And them that refuse it are few
I'll shut up my mug
If you'll fill up my jug
With that good ol' mountain dew.

Well I know a place
Down the road there a piece
Where you lay down a dollar or two
You go 'round then bend
And then you come back a gain
And find that good ol' mountain dew.

[Tobin S.]

8. It doesn't sound to me like they are talking about soda pop there.

[Arugula Latte]

9. Here's an example of the original folk song being sung.

According to this the song dates to at least 1916.
