Among the wide range of soft drinks available in the market due to the existing high range of competition among the Soft Drink manufacturers, how do we choose our Soft-Drinks ?
• By the Cost ?
• By the Appealing Advertisement ?
• By the Taste ?
• By the Non-Toxic Contents ?
• By the Looks of the Bottle ?
Factually, almost all the above factors play a role in our choosing our favourite soft drink. But jus’ because some bottled drink is cheaper, we cannot take it because it may be hazardous to our health, still the cost aspect does play a role in our choosing any product. In any case, most important of all, glancing at the contents of any soft drink you choose is commonly appreciable & advisable.
But how many of us really know what is meant by a Soft-Drink ? One of my colleagues raised this question a few days ago ….. Can we call Milk, Tea or Coffee as Soft-Drinks ? Well, lemmee tell you, you should not call these as Softdrinks because only Carbonated Drinks are termed as ‘Soft Drinks’. But then, what does the term “Carbonation” really mean ? This is a method of making water and gas (carbon dioxide) react together to make a solution. It is only due to the carbonation, taking soft drinks after a heavy lunch gives us a burp and gives us a relief from our feeling of over-eating.
My Soft-Drink
I generally don’t recommend carbonated bottled drinks, but when asked for my favorite choice, well, I am an ardent fan of PEPSI (see my review on Pepsi). When I think of my second favourite choice, I think IT IS Mountain Dew.
I will DEW my best to explain my personal opinion about this ‘nice’ strange coloured non-alcoholic beverage !
It was during a party at one of my colleague’s place last year, I first tasted Mountain Dew. My colleague had arranged for supply of those small green colored bottles of Mountain Dew at the party. At the very first time itself, I liked the drink ‘cause I felt that it had some fascinating tang and the drink was quite averagely strong. Until then, I didn’t know such a drink was sold in the market at all !
Then during one of my shopping time on a hot summer afternoon, I chose to try Mountain Dew which was appealingly displayed in a Shop. The drink after my hectic shopping was pretty refreshing and hydrating. It was also nice to know that a small bottle of the Dew was costing only five bucks !
Why I like Mountain Dew
Supplementary to the above mentioned reasons,
Tang
It has a good after-taste which is absent in many other carbonated drinks. Some soft-drinks even leave a bitter trace in the inner part of the upper tongue, which is commonly a drawback with many drinks ! But Mountain Dew’s after tang is very pleasant.
Thirst Quencher
Generally any carbonated drink has the tendency to reduce our thirst only at that moment of our taking it. So, I feel Mountain Dew too is a good thirst-quencher as well at the moment I drink it.
Cost
IT IS Pocket-Friendly as well !
Variety
(?)… Yes, do you know that Mountain Dew comes in different bottle shapes and different flavours ? The following are some of its different varieties sold in the market :
• Diet Mountain Dew
• Mountain Dew Live Wire
• Mountain Dew Baja Blast
• Mountain Dew Code Red
• Mountain Dew Pitch Black
Among the above varieties, the Code Red has a very strong tang while the Pitch Black is a very mild carbonated drink with a good nutritional value (contains less % of Fat & Calories). Almost all the varieties cost more or less the same.
Although Mountain Dew has been technically proven to contain a higher percentage of Caffeine, drinking these variety of soft-drinks just once in a while wouldn’t be that harmful, after all, more specifically, even if we don’t choose our food properly, it may turn out to be harmful to our health ! So, what are u still waiting for ? SSSStop being too diet-conscious & Do try the VARIETIES of Mountain Dew soon to get rid of your MONOTONY !!!!
