How is it that the two groups known for drinking mountain dew are gamers and West Virginians?

There is overlap in those Venn diagram circles, but both of those circles are fully within a third giant circle that says “trash people”

That's how they advertised it. Mountain dew was originally targeted at rural audiences, the name "mountain dew" is a nickname for moonshine. In the 90's they rebranded towards extreme sports, then in the 2000's they retargeted it towards gamers.

smh as if gamers haven't been targeted enough

Gamers are most white twentysomethings with disposable income because they don't date. Perfect market demographic

Sugarfree mountain dew might be the biggest boss battle to date!

In the 90's they rebranded towards extreme sports, then in the 2000's they retargeted it towards gamers.

And thus it is proven once and for all that e-sports is a real athletic discipline.

Thanks based Mountain Dew!

DotA as an olympic discipline when?!

Do top tier dota players earn more than top tier wnba players?

Probably but then again so does everyone else

Brittney Griner still gets more pussy tho

In China, DotA stars get a lot of pussy. Models even. Really funny tbh.

retargeted it towards gamers.

Gamers.

Hmmm...

The real sugar glass bottle Mountain Dew is the drink of the dinosaurs 🦖.... besides human blood of course

Eww imagine drinking soda.

Yeah semen is much better.

This but unironically

I only drink mayo, through a straw

Only diet semen tho

A diet of pineapples and lots of water.

Only if you recycle it in your fanta, Chris Chan style.

It's got electrolytes

Mmm, carbonated semen.

I prefer my semen in the bussy

Soda is truly the sugary jew, I need to stop drinking that shit.

The Mountain Dew company is not happy with me--that's okay, I'll still keep drinking that garbage.

OUT OUT OUT

Lemonade master race

lemonade is pretty bad too

no u

imagine not sipping monster energy ultra zero

i drink about one a day, which is hard since they sell them at 2 for 1 prices here, but I need to be careful as I'm already only sleeping about 4 hours tops a day.

30 year old boomer detected

krrrrrrssssssclkkkkkkk that first sippa the day

Anyone that drinks Mountain Dew regularly has gummy teeth.

They squeak when you grind them and fold when you bite anything harder than a dorito.

Imagine having trying to ban sales of soda with welfare bucks because hillbilly mayos are literally killing themselves with it.

How about we just ban mayos from receiving welfare?

How about we just ban mayos?

you say that like theres anything else to do out in those hills but drink dew and smoke meth

I mean, suicide's always an option.

How the fuck did our culture give birth to these animals

Jesus Christ Zimbabwe > Trump country

thinking hillbillies is a recent phenomenon

hillbillies basically collapsed the first American government in the 18th century

What a great headline

the region's distinct culture of sipping soda constantly throughout the day. Singer adds, "Here in West Virginia, you see people carrying around bottles of Mountain Dew all the time

Some 26 percent of preschoolers in the region have tooth decay, and 15 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds have had a tooth extracted because of decay or erosion. [...] The elderly are affected, too. Some 67 percent of West Virginians age 65 or older have lost six or more teeth owing to tooth decay or gum disease

If this is what counts as "culture" in bumfuck Appalachia, it needs to be burned down and started over from scratch.

Scientists report not every case of fetal alcohol syndrome was because the moms were drinking alcohol, per se

Some 26 percent of preschoolers in the region have tooth decay

I can laugh unashamedly at adult methmayos that fucked up their own teeth with sugar water but the fact that more than a fourth of preschoolers already have soda-fucked teeth is upsetting.

That's a feature for PepsiCo drinks. It's the worst with the original Pepsi imo.

Also for something marketed towards gamers why the fuck would they think lowering calories would be a thing that matters? Nearly all gamers would be caring about is the taste, not calories.

I feel like we’re at the point where people like /u/azombiedictator can actually transmit diabetes to others.

I don't care how old it is. This is one of the sweetest posts on r/drama ever.

Not since they started using lower-calorie artificial sweetners, apparently.

Nearly all gamers would be caring about is the taste, not calories.

I would have thought that assuming "nearly all" gamers are fat would be an insult. But tbh, it's probably true, at least for anyone that self-identifies as a "gamer".

Nearly all gamers would be caring about is the taste, not calories.

snappy quote nao

Lol I cant believe someone actually brought this post back up. Best thing is I completely stopped drinking soda and anything carbonated. This really shows how much I use to care about soda but now it's all about tea and water for me.

I can taste artificial sweetner in anything and the taste is just awful. Especially with the after taste some of them have. And yeah the artificial sweetners do bother people, which makes it even more ridiculous cause you'd think with how the labels are the same that it'd be the same formula, but nope.

Imagine NEEDING to have your neckbeard nectar to taste like diabetes in a can in order to live with yourself. Amerilards are absolutely shameless.

Even a very, very small bit of artificial sweetener is enough to ruin just about anything for me; it tastes like the runoff from a chemical plant to me. But rather than piss and moan about it I just drink water and splurge on a soda a couple of times a month.

Or just grow up and have a nice lager instead of dessert in a can

Or be like me and drink hard cider, which is dessert in a bottle and gets you drunk.

That's what Bailey's is for

I remember when I was 15 I went to a party and someone had brought a bottle of Bailey's. I didn't know at the time that you're supposed to mix it with other stuff or that you probably shouldn't drink it as a straight shot. Que me choking back vomit

Lmao I've drank a whole bottle of it plain when I was younger it's so good it's literally just alcoholic whipping cream 😍

That's fucking disgusting.

Fucking A+ mate got blown while it happened to.

So instead of tooth decay, you get liver disease.

Listen here, bucko. You're not a real man unless your liver is twice the size it should be and covered in scars. Talk to me once you've developed pancreatitis you soy boy.

Livers are large and most of it is expendable. Teeth are small and priceless.

Most beers are almost as bad as sodas, bubbo.

Drink goddamn water and occasionally tea maybe you'll live past 40.

I go in a different direction because I honestly can't stand how soda tastes.

Herbal tea & milk tea with boba. God bless the taiwanese.

lol neckbeard nectar

Yea ya like that huh ya filthy animal?

Why is it that people who try new craft brews and wines are considered worldly but when I see a new mountain dew flavor and get excited, it's just weird? Smdh

Why is it that people who try new craft brews and wines are considered worldly

Who considers them worldly? I consider them dicks.

Who considers them worldly? I consider them hipster trash

Potato tomato.

I prefer the term "Booze Snob" and fuck you

The wine industry is peak rich mayo nonsense. Paying thousands of dollars for a bottle of rotten fruit semen just because it was buried underneath Napoleon's summer home for centuries.

The big thing in the last year was wine in a can.

Liquid emo

Probably cuz they're considered artisinal goods, as opposed to mass produced syrup water shipped across the globe to sweaty manchildren whose sole identity is that they like to play with electronic toys.

"yeah I'm a real fan of this Faggotronic IPA. Has a kind of hoppy note to its pumpkin taste."

Artisanal my ass.

Lmao if you were talking about small batch craft sodas it would make sense. But to me this is like getting excited that bud lite just released "orange flavored" beer. IPAs all taste like fucking ass anyway, I'll gladly die on that hill.

I'll take your word for it. After my third dui 10 years ago, I decided it was better to stop altogether.

It's akin to coffee snobbery tbh. Hipsters unironically ruin everything they touch.

IPAs all taste like fucking ass anyway,

It's akin to coffee snobbery tbh. Hipsters unironically ruin everything they touch.

Absofuckinglutely. There are some decent IPAs out there, but they are pre-fad products. Ever since the craft beer fad became a thing with how every goddamn brewery wants to out hop each other with IPAs.... ugh.

It makes a mockery out of the craft brew industry, and just shows how pervasive and pathetic society is that people follow so many shitty trends just because they think others will think they are somehow "cool" or "hip".

Am I basic for liking pilsners? Lmao that and like Amber ales are my favorites. Just call me Becky.

Just fine. There are many great pilsners out there, and amber ale is bordering on my lifetime favorites. Pale Ale is my traditional favorite.

But the trend, which per my earlier comment both concerns and interests me that gose ale and sours are becoming "a thing", at there are some going to be some great new options to try.

Yea a new sour brewery just popped up real close to me been real curious

/> caring this much about fucking beer

the IPA backlash has already happened in larger hipster society

they tried to make sours a thing, now they are on to god knows what

zoz

zle

zozzle

The IPA fad reached its climax a few years ago, the cancer metastatized to stouts and porters.

You should do the world a favor and try for a fourth.

You should do the world a favor.

Found the Neckbeard gamer who chugs dew

Hey I might be a neckbeard who chugs dew, but I am not a gamer. How dare you.

probably because Mtn Dew and soda in general is objectively disgusting and you're all mentally ill for drinking it

the only people I know and seen who are into craft brews are absolute picture book hipsters.

wines on the other hand... i cant enjoy a bolognese without a good red wine anymore. "good" in this regard means the 2.50 chianti from lidl

Imagine being such an amerilard that you browse a subreddit dedicated to your favourite soda 😭

to complain that it doesn't give you diabetes as much as you'd like it to

How am I meant to muster the energy to waddle to the fridge and grab another if there's less energy xp? Gonna have to ask mommy to move the fridge closer to my room.

Americans have been conditioned to make brands part of their whole identity. No big surprise there.

Bucci makes the finest sweatpants u can buy at the mall

Dewer this

Except now it's sucralose water lol

Imagine being so bored you go dig through the mountain dew reddit to find a post over a year old to post on a drama reddit.

I didn't even know such thing as a drama reddit existed. But now I'm sitting here wasting my time because someone found an old post of mine and I'm just clearing things up.

I don't even know why I posted there and I dknt even drink soda anymore, haven't my for over a year.

But seriously what's the point of digging up such a lame old post? I try to avoid drama and petty shit yet a post of mine end up on the drama page?

Imagine being so bored you go to the mountain dew reddit to dig up a year old post to put on the drama reddit.

But seriously why even bring a post over a year old into a drama reddit? How is this even drama?

Also I haven't drank soda for over a year.

Really annoying someone brought this post up because now I'm just wasting my time in a drama reddit clearing stuff up. I try to avoid drama and petty shit but here I am.

Gamers rise up

not drinking Monster Zero Ultra in current year

[AC/DC playing in the background]

siiiiips

That's the stuff right there

Hitler did nothing wrong

Gushing granny is better fite me irl

Also for something marketed towards gamers why the fuck would they think lowering calories would be a thing that matters? Nearly all gamers would be caring about is the taste, not calories.

Um, actually, they care about the dopamine fix that sugar, caffeine, and "pwning noobs" provides that helps them forget, if only momentarily, why no women will ever touch them.

Why drink dew when water is more effective at making you not feel like shit?

Why not drink both? The half diet Mtn dews are really good and I feel not as guilty drinking them. The caffeine rush is mmmm

if only there was a well known source of caffeine with virtually no calories in it

Calories aren't some evil entity. How DARE I get some calories with my caffeine....

Yeah it's all the other shit in it that's bad for you.

Mountain Dew is basically water, calories, and caffeine and nothing else.

It's sugar nigga. Sugar is bad for you.

It's addictive, I don't know how but everyone drinks it at work, and have for their whole lives, and can't seem to stop.

The office management at my old job started stocking the fridge with boxes of LaCroix and over the course of a few months most of us had unintentionally weaned ourselves off soda.

I got pills for that

[deleted]

Mt. Dew might be the better option if you live in Flint MI.

Anyone in Flint Michigan is already fucked so it dont matter anyways

it is funny in a way that 'diet' has become synonymous with artificial sweetener. another win for food conglomerates.

Lol why is it just assumed all gamers are super fatasses who hate diet things? Oh, yeah, I know why.

As a man of culture myself, I only drink the worlds finest Soylent. It has all the estrogen a grown man like myself needs to continue being a man-child! I know it's working because I recently bought a Nintendo Switch, and renewed my subscription to "blacked.com". Let the plebs have their soda, daddy needs all the estrogen he can get!!!!

Unironically like half my calories are from Soylent. Just got bloodwork done and the doctor was like holy shit even your vitamin D levels are good you pasty mayo basement dwelling fuck, how is that even possible?

Satire- the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. I come here to shit post, not dispense medical advice.

lol

I unironically drink Soylent every day tbh.

😴😴😴😴

Did he really just curse Mtn Dew for not labeling a drink as "half diet" lmfao....

I actually really like the direction Mountain Dew is going. They have a lot of good drinks that still taste good but I feel comfortable knowing I'm getting 17g of sugar instead of 68g of sugar

tbh even 20g sugar sounds like fucking death syrup to me

this is fucking brilliant, A1 vintage drama

Crab juice wins again

Honestly though putting artificial sweetners in something without telling people is pretty shady. That might have consequences for some people. I could be dead wrong but still.

Anytime you do anything to the formula you're changing the chemical composition of your product tard.

Actually yes. If you were to drastically change parts of what you put into a drink, you should have to tell people about it.

To be fair, anyone drinking mountain dew isn't concerned about drastically shortening their life span.

I'll let it slide this one time. Think about it, "worst case scenario" is a few extra casualties in the Dew consumer demographic.

Even amongst other diabetes-enhancing sodas Mountain Dew is shit tier.

The few times I've drank it it tastes like sugary battery acid.

/u/azombiedictator

You don’t want any artificial sweetener, but you want your high fructose corn syrup back? 🤔

I try my best to avoid corn syrup now and I haven't had soda in over a year.

TIL there are actual fucking dedicated communities for soda brands...

There's dedicated communities for literally anything you can think of. Soda brands are tame to what other stuff you can see people are dedicated to.

Everyone should just switch to water why are people even drinking this shit?

I stopped and all I drink is basically water now.

You probably feel a lot better tbh.

I honestly don't feel a difference. When I drank soda I only drank one can every 2 or 3 days.

Did you give up anything else? I didn't drink a lot of soda but I drank a ton of juice. I've probably lowered my sugar intake to like 1/5th of what it used to be and I just feel like I can jog longer and move better.

I stopped drinking coffee too. I filled that shit with sugar. I basically just drink water now.

Soda is so fucking gross

Gotta admire what people can find interests and hobbies in.

/u/aZombieDictator

Stop drinking that shit.

Why did OP post a year old link?

That's what I'm wondering. Someone was bored.

how dare they put something unhealthy in my liquid sugar!

True lmao I try to limit myself to a couple every so often. It's still less calories though. A soda is like 160 to 180 calories per 12 oz

This is the perfect example of why people should leave gamers ( may Allah forgive me to type that word) alone. It's like a honeypot that comes a lot of time,health and energy towards a vastly ineffective goal.

Do you want mayo men to lose their place of power in the society? Make them play as much vidya as possible and make them feel that it's their space. Simultaneously push the ever so noble darkies on school and stuff and in one generation they will have outcompeted the evil mayo man into oblivion.

But for this plan you would need goal minded leftist that can work in incremental steps methodically.

I'm ashamed of my serious post.

This post is kinda awkward now because I completely stopped drinking soda. I was so confused when I saw my name tagged in something. Can't believe something I posted over a year ago is popping up again.
