In one word, yes. But Mountain Dew is worth more than a one word answer. Not only is Mountain Dew tasty but it also can extend the average human life by up to 10 years if consumed in great enough quantities. As this is my first post I would like to explain the site’s title. Mountain Dew is the nectar of life because it is a source of joy, prosperity, and longevity.
Joy:
Mountain Dew tastes good; its flavor is truly unique and dynamic. It offers multiple flavor experiences depending on temperature, container, and flavor. Although I prefer the standard Mountain Dew there is no end to the flavors created. Try Mountain Dew: Code Red, Baja Blast, or any of the countless flavors and you will not be disappointed.
Prosperity:
Mountain Dew is known to increase luck as well as innate financial skill. People who regularly drink at least 16oz of Mountain Dew are statistically proven to have better luck when it comes to anything based on luck. This includes: winning the lottery, finding a parking spot, or even finding pennies face-up instead of face-down. But it doesn’t end at luck; look at the top 50 financial investors in the United States; 96% have consumed Mountain Dew. You don’t need Turbo Tax to get the most out of your rebates just drink some Mountain Dew.
Longevity:
Mountain Dew has been known to extend the life of lab rats for years and is an up-coming cancer treatment. 9 out of 10 Medical Scientists recommend Mountain Dew when it comes to extending your life and fighting disease. Mountain Dew not only cures cancer but will help you get over your common cold 200% faster. Do you have chronic allergies? Well Mountain Dew can help with that too. Just drink 16-146oz per day for best results.
So as you can see by now Mountain Dew can be described by no other term than the Nectar of Life. I hope you enjoy Mountain Dew as much as I do and don’t forget what I always say: “you can never drink too much Mountain Dew”.

On September 25, 1789, the First Congress of the United States proposed 12 amendments to the Constitution. The 1789 Joint Resolution of Congress proposing the amendments is on display in the Rotunda in the National Archives Museum. Ten of the proposed 12 amendments were ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures on December 15, 1791. The ratified Articles (Articles 3–12) constitute the first 10 amendments of the Constitution, or the U.S. Bill of Rights. In 1992, 203 years after it was proposed, Article 2 was ratified as the 27th Amendment to the Constitution. Article 1 was never ratified.

Article the seventh… No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Article the eighth… In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

On the flavor front, I agree! Mountain Dew offers a unique and refreshing experience, with different temperatures and containers altering the taste in interesting ways. The array of flavors, from Code Red to Baja Blast, caters to diverse palates.
