When Victoria and her roommate saw a FFXIV tee for a Mountain Dew promo, they knew they needed it--even if it took enduring 40 bottles.

    I hope that title is satire, because that stuff is super bad for peoples health, like Sprite but on steroids.

    I mentioned it before, but a friend bought over 80 of the red bottles (200 point bottles), and every single bottle was poured out, he only wanted the caps.

    I think throughout the whole ordeal, I only drank two, maybe three sugary Mountain Dews, cumulative. Maybe one whole over the course of a day, split one with the roommate, poured out half the LA one. The rest were Diet.

    Which isn't all that much better but we used to go through Diet Cokes like water, at a far worse pace than you can imagine here.

    The amount of damage sweet soda drinks have done to the combined health of kids in schools and gamers not necessarily diverse groups can be seen in the health care toll currently and in the years to come as these children become adults and age.

    I never enjoyed gassy drinks thankfully so avoided this pit when I was in school while my friends were guzzling Fanta and Coco Cola like it was rapidly going out of fashion. They sported those typical soda bellies too.

    I think there is a touch of satire here guys, you can't take the article at mountain face value.

    What gets me is you don't even get to have a beer, it's just a pop drink. :)

    IDK why Pepsi still promotes the worst drink for gamers health...Don't they own Aquafina?
