2L in 100miles. To the gas station on I-95... Sorry...
Blame it on this delicious poison.

RegrettableDecisions
That much Mello Yello will do horrible things to a person not used to it.

Welcome to America, friend.
iLoopStuff
So.. is it lemonade?
PyllyNalleMissionaries
I thought all soda had Caffeine?
Fauxcused
Nope. Not even close to all.
tentaclefriendly
Ohmai. What state-ish?
enokidaki
Well yo u should have known better than to drink 2L of anything in one sitting. Especially "pop"
styvan
Question, where on I95 so I can avoid it
Bigcurly2000
Had my first ever root beer a few weeks ago; tastes like fizzy medicine, but...I kind of liked it.
IFoldlyGo
Here's the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VhSm6G7cVk
AlexHurlbut
it is like fizzy medicine because one of the original ingredients is sassafras root (hence root beer).
Bigcurly2000
It's quite similar to dandelion and burdock I thought.
CuttleFishOfCthulu
Fun fact: It has orange juice in it. Fun fact 2: Its where Pepsi got Mountain Dew from. Which also has OJ in it.

"They call me mellow yellow!"
goombaguy
If you're from Canada, we used to have Mello Yellow available but like many junk food flavours, it just ceased to be.
goombaguy
Side note, did you know these guys have orange flavoured Mountain Dew? I'm coming home tomorrow with a bottle of it.
dreikommavierzehn
That's probably because of the sweeteners though, those cause diarrhea when ingested in large amounts.
Niddhoger
Oh man, wait till you find one of those "all in one" soda fountains popping up in restaurants. They have flavors that don't exist 1/2
Niddhoger
anywhere else. Like I found one with cherry mello yello... and like 5 other varieties. Hundreds of soft drinks in one machine! Fuck yeah!
cloel
Those are called "freestyle" machines
ProfessorSprayAndPray
Those machines are great. Mix Coke with orange Fanta is my new favorite thing. Thanks to the Germans for that one.
Meepsicle
I knew it as Spezi after a school trip. I've spent years recreating it to the horror of onlookers.
flightlessfruit
As a German, that's called mezzo mix.
HannibalHoseth
Almost all pop/soda in Us has caffeine
TheHengeProphet
And that's how you catch the diabeetus
Dracongield
We live on caffiene here. I wouldnt be surprised to find it in the water.
mdzmdz
I'd blame 2 litres of HFCS rather than the caffeine
flightlessfruit
^ this very much. Also if you're drinking 2 liters of any liquid, you're going to have to plan a bathroom visit.
freckledkink
I'm just mad about Saffron, Saffron's mad about me. They call me Mello Yello
Mcknizzle
Now you understand our frustrations. Now you GET it. Pro tip: Stay away from Mountain Dew. It’ll kill ya
toboldlygowherenomanhasgonebefore
I've been drinking Diet Mountain Dew on my US vacations as long as I can remember. 1st stop after getting the car is to get the victuals.
clucja1
Diet my dew is even worse for you than the regular stuff. I still don't understand why people drink the diet stuff
toboldlygowherenomanhasgonebefore
I for am fighting to keep my weight even without adeluge of sugary drinks.
UnderTheStairs4PrivetDriveLittleWhingingSurrey
No worries here. Too much sugar in the Dew and it upsets my stomach.
ticktockbent
Probably the HFCS more than the sugar. Try the real sugar version
shiftingillusion
And maybe the bromine... you know, stuff that has no business in a beverage because it's used to clean pools.
ticktockbent
maybe that too
Alozar
Or the flame retardant.
ticktockbent
Well do YOU want your beverage on fire? I didn't think so.
Alozar
Idk man people drink flaming alcohol
CraftedLine
Did caffeine make you poop?
Fauxcused
How try Mountain Dew. It is the better alternative to Mello Yello.
PuckinFissed
Yo mello yello isnt available everywhere. So enjoy it every chance you get @OP
mumbojumbo29
they had mello yellow in canada for a while... i was wkndering wtf happened to it
GQPisadeathcult
Drank this for decade before ever seeing MD.
jbcars4life
So you think since it has caffeine it made you drink 2L and have to piss?
Vegonbrei
Back, not front.
pashmamasofat
Have you never experienced the coffee shits?
flightlessfruit
Unrelated to caffeine. Something else in coffee does that.
jbcars4life
Never mind the shear quantity which would fill your stomach and pass through your system easily being a liquid
Ebalmatronic
The poor mans Mountain Dew

Iupvotebirdgifs
I can get 2.5L of MOUNTAIN EXPLOSION for a dollar. Yeah, 2 and a half liters. Its great but goes flat in like seven seconds.
alowishuslongbottom
Squirt.
DXAshram
Not quite Squirt.
capsaicinheat
and a slightly different taste
Dragonboy393
I haven’t had a mellow yellow in years but I certainly don’t remember it tasting like Dew
NateintheNorth
They're both green "citrus" sodas.
rbudrick
Mellow green you say?
MotherFukaJonez
It's just Mountain Dew made by Coke instead of Pepsi
NateintheNorth
Like Pepsi is Coke made by Pepsi.
ronnoct
Awesome, I knew there would be at least one person that understands this
icelandicsealbear
Mellow yellow is a hundred times better than Mountain Dew.
mthrndr01
I agree, and I can barely stand Mello Yello.
chemistsdoitintesttubes
Careful. Those are fighting words to the basement-dwelling fedora wearers and some rednecks.
UnderTheStairs4PrivetDriveLittleWhingingSurrey
The basement trolls may take offense to that. Lol
jbcars4life
Next time in a convenience store look how many rows of mtn dew are in the cooler vs mellow yellow
TinyOctopus
Tiny Octopus first had Mello Yello when he was a kid fishing with his grandfather in the middle of South Dakota. It was awesome.
AstronautChicken
My husband loves squirt which I've only seen in iowa. It is grapefruit soda and I do not understand the appeal.
chemistsdoitintesttubes
I see it here in Kansas sometimes, and I like it. It's definitely different.

Did you use your username to refer to yourself in third person?
TheLordOfGiraffes

Dillonisms
I have to disagree. Pretty sure the poor man's Mountain Dew is "Mountain Thunder" from Wal-Mart.
CodingMoose
Dr. Thunder is the best thunder
vonKaiser
goofgoose
It’s Mountain Lightning...and it makes being poor slightly less terrible
ijustliketheprettypictures
Its called mtn lightning
GigavoltFox
My local grocery store has Mountin Shoutin, which tastes like sugary ass, but is fun to say
jdavis1186
Mountain Lightning is the Wal-Mart Mountain Dew. You're mixing it up with Dr Thunder, their Dr Pepper.
bongles
Agreed, Mello Yello is actually a coca cola product whereas mountain dew is Pepsi. None of them are the off brand, just competitors
jwillr86
both taste like carbonated dog piss
MaladaptedMedic
It's like Sprite and Sierra Mist
TotallyNotADogInTrenchCoat
Ever hear of "Mountain Mist"? Yeah keep walking with your fancy "mountain Thunder" moneybags
cirnonine
Nice
Ebalmatronic
Mountain mist is poverty Sprite
GHOST101010101
Ever hear of Hillbilly Hollar? That shit is the most obscure rip off brand I've seen.

Faygo Moon Mist
TisNagim
3 liters for a buck or less! ooh yeah
PTMdragon
haha U.S is full my minefields. Where you from?
Vegonbrei
Atlantic Canada, hadn't seen it before, didn't read the label. Lesson learned.
PTMdragon
You guys get faygo up there? might be worth a look for you
Somerandomoldguy
https://www.faygo.com/faygo-flavors/
Somerandomoldguy
Faygo... thats a pop i haven't gotten in decades. They still $1 or less a 2 liter? I suggest creme soda and rock and rye.
CoeusDarksoul
Just wait till you come across a store that still sells Jolt... you'll tour the lower 48 in a day & a half.
vanschmoozin
My grandpa got me this so often when I was a kid I wonder if he was actively trying to rupture my heart haha #wouldDoItAgain
otebear
Be advised, some root beer has caffeine added. Also, there are few things better than root beer and birch beer.
Giffylongstockings
The only one I can think of is barq's root beer that has caffeine in it
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Doesn't all pop in the US have caffeine added? In Canada the clear ones are all caffeine-free.
AFelineMassofEyes
No, your "all the clear ones" guideline is pretty good, tho afaik orange soda is never clear, but never caffeinated.
heartdad
Have a look at that Sunkist Orange lable, caffeine is included.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
True, the clear ones and probably the majority of the "fruit" ones, including grape and orange.
z3lfmoord
Does caffeine really make you poop?
LordOfTheDownvotes
Because coffee makes you poop people associate the affect with caffeine but caffeine is not the cause. Decaf will cause you to poop as well.
z3lfmoord
I thought so, because caffeine is a diuretic which makes you retain water, not poop it all out.
Stuebydoo
Caffeine is a stimulant, and can have that effect yes.
z3lfmoord
Caffeine is a diuretic and makes you retain water
flightlessfruit
The caffeine isn't the cause. Something else in coffee does it.
ALurkingMassHole
95 eh? Are you in Massachusetts? Hmmmm
Vegonbrei
Drove from Bangor to Orlando. The 'incident' occurred in South Carolina.
MyHumanForm
It runs from Maine to Florida. So there's a small chance of Masshole exposure.
ProfessorSprayAndPray
Hey we're great as long as you don't mention sports, food, beer, politics, the weather, our accents, new york, LA, or Montreal.
MyHumanForm
Also, Sam Adams, crappy tour, but most free beer I've ever acquired. I broke one of my sample glasses, so no longer have the set of four.
MyHumanForm
I lived thisclose to Mass. I have nothing against the residents. Other than their accent and my newly acquired usage of "wicked" daily.
ProfessorSprayAndPray
I haven't lived in Mass for 7 years and I still say wicked. And Sam Addams is still my favorite beer.
MyHumanForm
It's not my favorite, but the tour is worth it. I only lived a short time in RI, but that word is carved into my brain. It's wicked annoying
ObnoxiousCommenter
"pop"? We call it "soda" in these parts. Also assume all soda has caffeine. Notable exception is fruit flavored soda.
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
There are two kinds of people in this world: people who call it “soda” and people who are wrong.
MyHumanForm
Cherry Coke?
TheCrankyCow
Well yinz are all wrong then
ObnoxiousCommenter
I legitimately had to look up what "yinz" meant. That's a new one for me.
ImmortalAzrael
Root beer and ginger ale are generally caffeine free.
MrBinns
Its coke
PenisShapedPoops
All soda pop is coke.
MrBinns
**Raises southern flag** .... wait
Imsickofdisshit
Yo! I call all soda ‘coke’ too. Also Mellow Yellow is made by Coke. So it’s also coke in that sense.
AmArschdieRaeuber
noooo
Somerandomoldguy
The midwest uses "pop" as a way to spot the outsider.
MyHumanForm
Not all of the midwest. Soda and damn proud.
Somerandomoldguy
Missouri right?
MyHumanForm
Not even close. But like not far, because the midwest isn't that big.
ObnoxiousCommenter
They could just look for people who don't have goofy accents. ZING
Satherian
Never heard anyone hear call it pop. Always been soda.
exlurker42
Mellow yellow is a lemon lime, so the "fruit" exception true of things like sprite would be a bad assumption, here
ObnoxiousCommenter
No I mean fruit as in "grape" or "orange". See Fanta, etc. Nobody really considered Mellow Yellow or Mountain Dew as "fruit soda"
ObnoxiousCommenter
I wouldn't even call Sprite fruit soda.
Anononononon
Mountain Dew has orange juice.
ObnoxiousCommenter
So? It's clearly not orange soda. What the fuck is your point?
OmegaHavok
Sunkist has caffeine.
ObnoxiousCommenter
You are correct. Sunkist is the exception to the exception.
ObnoxiousCommenter
*AN exception to the exception. I'm sure there are others.
