And frankly, do you want to eat a mouse that tastes worse?

I have a real suspicion that soda bottlers aren't guessing when they say that mice dissolve completely in Mountain Dew.

I don't know what that's about but it did make me chuckle.

Is it the mouse or the mountain dew that tastes worse?
 
2012-01-04 11:54:14 AM
The Mt. Dew tastes worse, or the mouse? I can't imagine either one would improve the flavor of the other.

Mmmm Mouse-in Dew.

TFA: Bamford nonetheless emphasizes that soft drinks contain "strong acids," and cites The A-Z Guide to Food Additives, published in 2009, which states that sodium benzoate, in combination with ascorbic acid and under the proper heat and light conditions, can produce benzene, a known carcinogen.

Feh. One of my brothers has a bottle of Dew that he got years and years ago that has never been opened and has a perfectly preserved wasp floating around inside it. Somehow, I don't think Mr. Mouse is going to go all GigaPuddy from just one cans worth of soda. Of course, that still doesn't preclude the possibility that the complainant is a lying douche bag and planted the mouse. That's for the courts to decide.

tacojohn: This sounds like a job for the Mythbusters

They had an episode once where they tested the "soda makes your teeth rot" idea with Coke and phosphoric acid. They put a tooth in a jar of each and let it sit for like a month. The Coke one came out all brown and nasty and the phosphoric acid one dissolved about 50% of it's mass/volume.

Drunken Polar Bear: "One of my brothers has a bottle of Dew that he got years and years ago that has never been opened and has a perfectly preserved wasp floating around inside it."

You can't verify that it's perfectly preserved unless you open it. But don't worry, I'll save you the trouble. It's not perfectly preserved. The carapace and wings are preserved. But there's nothing inside the carapace.

Also, when Pepsi Co said the mouse would be liquified, they didn't mean it would entirely dissolve. They meant the mouse meat would have lost consistently and sloughed off the bone and the organs and soft tissues would have become an indiscriminate sludge. i.e. It wouldn't just be a dead mouse with mt dew-soaked fur.

My friend once showed me the Taco Bell sauce trick.... Take an old completely tarnished penny, and put it inside the one the packets and rub it around for a minute or two... Out comes the most pristinely clean penny you can ask for. like its brand new... Makes you wonder what that does in your stomach.

You can also clean a penny with a slice of lemon, if you were so inclined.

My stomach isn't lined with copper oxide that gets easily dissolved by acidic solutions. Do you eat lots of pennies?

I don't eat lots of pennies. No, they are definitely not eaten. It would be more accuate to say that they are taken as suppositories,

The old "It's gotta be bad, it'll make a penny shiny" argument reminds me of the old "It's a powerful round, it'll shoot through a wall" argument. It get's thrown out there all the time, but you rarely see anyone bothering to see how easy/difficult it is to clean a penny or go through sheetrock. There's not a whole lot of stuff out there that won't clean up a penny, but it's still the go-to example of just how nasty something is.

It doesn't. It alters the molecular surface of copper discs. Once altered, the discs travel through time. Usually 1986.
