A huge thank you for all those who entered the “I love Mountain Dew…..” competition, we have had an over-whelming response and some great reasons. So many of you had such great memories of being back home in the States and having great holidays in America, it was lovely to hear about them.
We chose our five favourites for a number of different reasons.
Twitter: @keeperbinns: @AmericanSoda i love mountain dew because my mrs is giving birth in 3 weeks and she is eating and drinking me out of house & home #IloveDew We know how much he is going to need the Mountain Dew to give him the energy in the first few weeks after the new arrival.
Twitter: @Stevensegg: @AmericanSoda I love Mountain Dew b/c it looks like ectoplasm, giving me the chance pretend I’m a Ghostbuster.Sad, but oh so true #ilovedew This was such a cool geeky answer and we loved it!
Facebook: Martin Brown I Love Mountain Dew because it helps give us gamers the edge to win. We liked Martins comment because it was simple and showed Mountain Dew gave gamers with energy to win, he spoke for a whole group of people not just himself.
Twitter: @FredThomasWDW: @americansoda I love Mountain Dew because It reminds me of the best times in my life spent with a mouse #ilovedew It was such an original way to refer to Micky Mouse and Disney we felt we should give him a crate.
Facebook: Ben Moore I love mountain dew so much despite it making my head explode with its sheer awesomeness. This is why i have blanked out my display picture to hide the massive head explosion that was caused. We loved this because he even changed his profile picture to convey his love of Mountain Dew.
We wanted to give a shout out to those who went to loads of effort with poems and songs; we loved Joe Connor’s song for Mountain Dew;
I hear that familiar swish and I start to drool
Keep a couple cans in my locker at school
Yeah, 7-up’s gettin’ old,
Coke just leaves me cold…
There’s just one flavor good enough for me, yeah me!… See more
Don’t gimme no cruddy Kool-Aid
I know what I need,
Baby:
I Love Mountain Dew
so won’t you go and buy a six-pack, baby?
I love Mountain Dew
so have another 2-liter with me.
They tell me Caffeine Junkies are all the same,
all the fast-food places know my name.
When their supply is gone
then I’ll be movin’ on…
But I’ll be back on Monday afternoon–you’ll see!
They’ve got a truckload comin’ in for me, all for me
I’m singin:
I love Mountain Dew
so won’t you go and buy me a six-pack, baby?
I love Mountain Dew
so have another 2-liter with me!
Since some of you didn’t agree with our choices we will be giving 5 more crates of Mountain Dew away but this time you guys get to choose. Take a look at some of the responses we had on facebook and twitter. Write below which reasons were your favourite and why. We can all have a vote later in the week as to which ones you think should win a crate of Mountain Dew.
Well, I liked “I love Mountain Dew because it’s tongue tingling tasty – c’mon, you know it’s true!” from twitter’s bev_metallica because tongue tingling tasty sums up my own view of Dew.
I also liked the song by Joe Connor.
Cheers guys! I’ll go ahead and post mine again then, seen as I liked your comment on it

Andrew Watson I AM Mountain dew!!! It turns me from a fat lazy northener into a californian Beach Hunk…. It does…. No really it does!!!….. Oh sod it! It really turns me into a fat Nascar loving Redneck!!!
I would love a 2nd chance at winning, but any chance it could pretty please be diet? I need the energy to look after my 12 week old, but I can’t afford all the extra sugar in regular Dew post c/section!

I vote for martin brown’s to win again, being a gamer, he has hit the spot with this reason for liking mountain dew.
I agree with jonney frain
from what i can see, looking though facebook everyone says how it reminds them of the states, its not about that its about a original and stupid phrase! down with dish water, up with the dew!
Martin Brown seems to have a pretty decent idea there, frequently I have stacks of empty Mountain Dew next to my desk from constantly gaming and need that sugar ‘high’ to keep me going! Martin Brown wins in my opinion
I think martin brown hit the nail on the head with his response, mtn dew gives us gamers the sugar rush needed to win and stand up in long gaming sessions.
Being an avid female gamer from America, I know this all too well! Mtn Dew is part of being a gamer and Martin got it right!
