Challenging a man's claim that he found a mouse in his Mountain Dew a while back, it's hard to say whether Pepsi Co. won or lost the battle with its defense in a small court. That defense? Not possible — Mountain Dew would have reduced that mouse to jelly by the time it was opened 15 months after bottling, according to the company's experts.
I think I speak for all humanity when I say, despite the fact we may have been able to deduce this from it's otherworldly glow, let's give a resounding: gross!
Pepsi's experts aside, could the Dew do this? Believe it or not, some independent sources are saying it could, pointing the finger at citric acid. Citric acid, which is found naturally in citrus fruits exists as a powder in its purified form, and is added to citrus-based soft drinks to give them their zing. It also means it lowers the pH of the drink and makes the drink highly acidic.
