Okay I know a ton of you are Mountain Dew drinkers. Okay you belong to MDA! So has the new CODE RED hit your area? Honestly what do you think about it?

This is what I found out already:

That's all I know about it. I myself like it... but I don't drink a ton of it.

I've never heard of this Code Red that you speak of. But your ideas are intriguing to me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I live on Dew. Don't like Code Red much.

Does drinking Mountain Dew really lower a mans testosterone? If it does that means you are all sissies with no sex drive!! (I'm probably wrong..)

Dan:lol, I have never heard of that, I sure hope not. I never have heard of caffine doing that, I would think it would help the testosterone

Yellow 5 is in Mountain Dew for coloring.... Y5 has been proven to shrink your penis.

You can't get Mountain Dew in Finland. Reason enough to leave the country, as I'm doing in a year.
Kee-rist I could go for some Dew right about now...

Go to Moutiandew.comThere's a site for the code red. Some kids in my commercial art class was messing around with it the other day.

LOL, that's funny, where, uhm, did you read this "proven" fact?

When penis-smacking occurs, you know the thread is getting fun.

Have you guys managed to scare away all the decent people yet? Yes? Let's partaaaay!

heh, i know it's not true, i just like to mention it to ppl that just have the dew can in their mouth and see their reaction.... here's the actual info:

F D & C Yellow No. 5 (also known as tartrazine) is an approved food color.
According to the Food Additives Handbook it is mildly toxic by ingestion (at levels in excess of 14 micrograms per kilogram of body weight). The potential effects in humans relate to changes in the teeth and bones in the oral cavity and not to any effects on reproductive organs. It has been associated with reproductive effects in rats at levels of 20 milligrams/kilogram body weight, 1.8 grams/kilogram body weight and 18.5 grams/kilogram body weight. There would be no way that a human would ever be exposed to that much of that food color. Even the 14 micrograms per kilogram of body weight that may cause toxicity in humans far exceeds any level that a human would encounter. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which approves food additives constantly monitors research on food additives and will remove food additives from the market if they are found to be harmful for humans. So, you can be assured that this additive is safe at levels people could possibly eat.

That is an urban legend. There hasn't been any proof to that. Its all a rumor. There is also a rumor that it reduces sperm count. Do you really think that after 50 some odd years they would still make a product that has that effect? It all stems from the fact they used a yellow dye when the originally made the product and some of the dyes were unhealthy. That was like 5 decades ago. They didn't shrink your penis then either (also the rumor is it shrinks the testicles.. not the penis). I drink it every morning instead of drinking coffee... NOTHING is shrinking.

The thing I think is hilarious is how many college students believe this. I'm sure their parents are really happy with financing those educations.

i couldn't compare on it getting smaller or not, mine is so small right now, i don't think it is possible it could get any smaller LOL

Jabberwocky · Posted: Thu May 31, 2001 11:41 pm

Do you guys whip out you rulers everytime you drink dew or something? Or is that just a morning event?
