Yes, I have a problem
A co-worker of mine taught me a little trick… Mountain Dew should be shaken before opening. I thought for sure that he was insane. He maintains that a Dew should be shaken because it settles and that the flavor is much better after doing so. My concern was the carbonation exploding like a Pepsi or Coke might when opened. He assured me that Mountain Dew was immune to these effects.
So I tried it. He was right.
Now I always shake them before opening. I’m so convinced the Dew tastes better that I *actually* freaked out the time I forgot. I didn’t know if I should dump the unshaken soda or not. Luckily, I hadn’t popped it all the way, and I was able to cover the hole with my thumb and give it a bit of a mix.
