Hi,
Proabably the question you would never expect to see in a forum for discussions on mobile phone technology.
But, a friend of mine just mentioned Mountain Dew, which used to be my favourite drink untill it vanished.
I never really thought about it but after doing a little investigation of mine on the net some months ago
I came across the result that it is banned in the UK and several other countries.
Can anyone confirm as to why this drink is banned and if its still actually available anywhere in London? or other countries perhaps.
Thanks.

yeah i heard it was banned. its probably because its made from toxic chemicals. hence the greeny yellow colour, and weird taste. plus if you drink too much of it, then you turn green.

It had a high content of sodium and a high content of methane gas

Mounting Jew was banned because of its religious/ racially unacceptable name.

Stop being so ignorant!
I myself dont live at home but culturally it IS very acceptable for many people for them to still live at home.
Im Indian and its unusual for a 21 yr old NOT to live at home! As it is with most cultures that are mainly family orientated.
Not every1 chucks out their children@16 (so my parents would say)

OK OK, i'm not meeting people with any concept of light humour here in this thread.
So i'll be serious,
@doliver21, said a couple of posts back that Mountain Dew was banned partly because it had a high content of Methane gas in it. i would like to point out how stupid & uninformed that statement was.
Please dont post silly schoolboy gossip as fact.
Please read why it was withdrawn (NOT BANNED) below;
Mountain Dew used to be available in the UK but it was discontinued. Why? Because it didn't have 55mg of caffeine like the stuff in the US and therefore never got popular!

Wow thanks guys. Any ideas though if its available from any shop at all in London... I heard that it is available from a shop (dont know but illegally or legally
) at London Victoria station. Can anyone at all confirm this.

Sifting through all the guffawing, I doubt that Mountain Dew was banned and as for an anti-Semitic name (and all the rumours) those are bigger reasons for it to be banned in it's native USA.My personal was it looked like a sick old lady's wee-wee and hence no-one bought the crap!

@North, 'an old lady's wee-wee'? So it DOES shrink your penis ;-)

I'm going to pray for the perpetual existence of this thread - I'm s***ting myself. Btw, they just launched MD here about half a year back. Still no side effects (i.e. shrinkages) reported by the National Statistics Commission. ;-)

I just came from a trip to India where Mountain Dew has newly bin introduced. <br>Coke and prob all other Coca Cola companies products have been stopped from sale and also removed from the Indian Parliaments Canteen due to them using cheap 'cost efficient' funky chemicals, the ones used in shampoo I believe, in their beverages and that have been linked to many deaths in the country!
Posted by pachy
@Indianbwoy, I'm hearing tht big health issues are developing in poorer countries like Africa, because of the lack off decent drinking water, (what there is, has a high flouride content).
This allows powerfull companies like Coke ETC to flood the market with high sugar/chemical content fizzy drinks, & literally "make a killing" childrren will always choose sweet drinks over water & this is causing lots of health problems.

yeaaaaaaaaaaaah......and my skool has this gigantic mountain dew vending machine. i quaff 'least 3 per week, and faaaaaarrrt like crazy thereafter.

The issue I believe was with the quality of the water being used to manufacture the Coke etc.... The outcome is reported here....
Posted by prodjsxb
Mountain Dew is still widely available here in US/Canada but seeing that it has more caffiene than Coke there are still concerns over it... but have you ever seen "Jolt Cola" it has a horendous amount of caffiene but it is promoted as such because it does... what the hell?
