“Mountain Dew is neither dew nor produced on mountains”
Mountain Dew (or Mtn Dew) is a soft drink that was invented in the 1940s and named after the slang for “moonshine.” Many people believe that it’s a beautiful name for a drink, appropriately rustic, but that the drink itself (and its advertising) is aggressive and violent.

Wikipedia: Mountain Dew
Mountain Dew, stylized as Mtn Dew in some countries and colloquially known as Dew in some areas, is a soft drink brand owned by PepsiCo. The original formula was invented in 1940 by Tennessee beverage bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman. A revised formula was created by Bill Bridgforth in 1958. The rights to this formula were obtained by the Tip Corporation of Marion, Virginia. William H. “Bill” Jones of the Tip Corporation further refined the formula, launching that version of Mountain Dew in 1961. In August 1964, the Mountain Dew brand and production rights were acquired from Tip by the Pepsi-Cola company, and the distribution expanded across the United States and Canada.

Mountain Dew is such a dishonestly bucolic name for a drink that was obviously invented on Giedi Prime by Harkonnen lab perverts
