Pepsi explain why you'll never find a mouse in Mountain Dew
- speby 15y agoI'm sure they use really good strainers!
- S_A_P 15y agoSo my first thought here is to do a mythbusters type of experiment with a mouse and can of mountain dew and see if it proves true.
- alexobenauer 15y agoPETA might have a fit. But I'd be interested to see the results.
- S_A_P 15y agoThere is that, yes. However, mice/rats are routinely purchased as snake food, and experimented on in a university setting. I am not convinced that the skeleton would be a gelatinous mass as specified.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoMythbusters use pigs frequently, and if PETA has had a fit, it wasn't a big enough one for them to care, apparently.
- ssharp 15y agoWouldn't you just use a mouse that is already dead?
- benihana 15y agoThis just in: acidic cola drinks will dissolve things over a long enough period of time! Stay tuned for our shocking revelation that water is wet.
- dangrossman 15y agoMD isn't a cola drink.
- freehunter 15y agoIt really should come as no surprise that a citrus-based beverage contains acid. I imagine this trial will spark a cry of "what is this doing to my body!?". It's citric acid. Mt Dew is not a healthy drink, but many "all natural" drinks and foods have a great deal of acid as well.

- nickolai 15y ago>Plain orange juice has a higher pH than Mountain Dew. I think that comparison would be enough to quell any shock over citrus soft drinks. Having a higher pH actually means being LESS acidic. And no one would ever expect a mouse to 'turn into jelly' in a bottle of orange juice.
- endersshadow 15y agoI don't know--I think keeping a mouse in a bottle of orange juice for two years may very well turn it into jelly. It's acidic and does not prevent the decay of the body. It's at least not out of the realm of the plausible.
- pdubs 15y agoNot orange juice, but cranberry juice has a lower pH than Mountain Dew. It's about 1/2 pH away from stomach acid.
- towndrunk 15y agoDid he not take any pictures before they came and took the mouse? I find that odd. I would certainly taken pictures of what came out of the can.
