I am a Mountain Dew addict. I really love the refreshing and distinctive taste of this soft drink. However, I have heard that Mountain Dew was initially produced and intended for cross-country truckers because of its high caffeine content. Does drinking the dew daily cause any harmful effect on health, if any? I'm just curious.

I know that Mountain Dew has the highest caffeine percentage of the original drinks but not anymore with those other energy drinks out there. No clue if it was originally intended for truckers or not. I wouldn't mix it with any other drinks with caffeine in it. My oldest son once mixed it with coffee, not at the same time but within an hour of each other, and he was bouncing off the walls for nearly 2 hours. It was right before a doctors appointment and his pulse was off the charts, needless to say the doctor wasn't happy with him (or me).

This drink sounds good but sadly its not sold a lot in the UK. I think I have only seen one shop which sells it and its always sold out.
