Yahoo! Mountain Dew!*

Mountain Dew is the newest culprit. No, seriously.😳  I know Mountain Dew was rumored to be a cheap high a few years ago (I’m old; “many years ago” is now 50, maybe 60). I always put that one in the category of dissolving aspirin in Coke would get you drunk (that was many years ago!). But apparently now it makes old people smart and peppy? Who knew?

Snake oil and its health benefits are as American as apple pie. And so is Barnum’s observation that “There’s a sucker born every minute.”

*Also many years ago. I remember when Mountain Dew was introduced (that was the ad slogan). I also remember when dirt was invented.
