First of all in response to the original post in this thread
No - mountain dew is not trying to tell you something. The human mind likes to think it is in control, but the body and the unconscious function is actually smarter than you are - when your mind gives your body something that makes it sick (shedloads of mountain dew), your body retaliates, and the next time your mind goes "here, drink this" your body goes "how bout no" and gives a warning - say the queasy feeling you get when you open the bottle of mountain dew. Your body is actually setting up a biological countermeasure to you introducing a potentially noxious substance to it.
Also - though you are the mountain dew man - I can't stand the stuff unless it is in the green bottle that makes it look like a normal drink - once outside the bottle it looks like a horror movie prop.
finally - what's with the whole carbonated drink thingy - what's wrong with water (the drink I drink the most) or, as Jane said, milk... just make sure it came from a cow that wasn't GE or on the more esoteric steroids cause their milk is nasty. Or old drinks like lemonade or ginger beer. I have to say Arius is probably a health food nut, and ignorant of what the body actually does do with sugar, or what sugar is, but Arius is right with the moderation thing.
