Alright, I am sure this is a repost...but I have heard that Mountain Dew causes shrinkage. I am at work, and this topic came up. I dont feel like going through the firewall looking for the answer. Anyone have any info...or proof to back it up?

No, do you? I stated that I heard that mountain dew causes shrinkage. Theres a lot of products out there that contain a small amount of a substance thats reported to cause cancer, etc...etc. Hence the reason I asked. Now quit being such a smart a$$.

I was under the impression that there was a food dye that did some interesting stuff to the reproductive system, but once it was discovered they took it out of circulation. Snopes makes no mention of that though, so who knows.

I do seem to remember that another dye -- I think a Red one -- was pulled for some reason. Nothing as drastic as reproductive organ damage; something like disrupting bowel movements or whatnot. Nothing on Snopes about it though.

No, it doesn't cause shrinkage.

Although, I'm told that MD does contain brominated vegetable oil, which supposedly isn't all that good for you.

I'm not that fond of MD anyway, although I do drink an occasional Code Red.

In truth, it MAY cause temporary shrinkage similar to being cold.

This MAY be caused by the caffeine. Caffeine causes your blood vessels in your extremities to constrict slightly. This is why some people get cold hands and feet if they drink a lot of caffeine. Those same people may experience a temporary shrinkage. MAY. If it happens, it's not permanent.

If a guy experiences this from Mt. Dew, he'll experience it any time he drinks a lot of caffeine.

I'm not sure MD has caffeine in it. But then again, that would also apply to Coke and Pepsi as well..

MD is higher in caffeine than Coke or Pepsi, IIRC. Part of the appeal.

Aren't sure it has caffeine? Man, where have you been? Mountain Dew has the highest concentration of caffeine in a normal soft drink short of Jolt. Newer energy drinks have beaten that figure by a good amount, but before Red Bull, Bawls, etc. hit the shelves Mountain Dew was the tastiest way to get high amounts of caffeine.
