Mountain Dew is the staple energy drink. It might not be loaded with all sorts of fancy-pants herbs and vitamins, but it gets the job done. Unless you’ve built-up an immunity to the modest amount of caffeine and HFCS like me. Now a lot of us just drink it for pleasure. It’s just too bad that Pepsi killed off Mountain Dew Throwback after only a few weeks. Mmm real sugar.
