Mountain Dew Haven - The Ingredients of Mountain Dew
Everyone loves Mountain Dew, or at least should, but what is in it? Well here we go...
| The ingredient | What it does |
| Carbonated Water | This is the main ingredient. It gives Mountain Dew it's consistency, but none of it's flavor. |
| High Fructose Corn Syrup and/or Sugar | This gives Mountain Dew MUCH of it's flavor. Plus it helps to give you a large sugar buzz. |
| Concentrated Orange Juice and other Natural Flavours | This is almost the rest of the flavor. The other natural flavors don't do much of anything. It just makes it sound all natural. |
| Citric Acid | This is the rest of the taste. Citric Acid gives Mountain Dew its tangy zip! |
| Sodium Benzoate | This is a chemical that preserves freshness. |
| Caffeine | Duh. Go here for my Caffeine ONLY section. |
| Sodium Citrate | I actually don't know what this is yet, but I'm working on it. |
| Gum Arabic | This makes Mountain Dew a little less watery. It thickens it a little bit. |
| Erythorbic Acid | This chemical preserves freshness |
| Calcium Disodium EDTA | This chemical protects flavor. |
| Brominated Vegetable Oil | This gives Mountain Dew a slight orangish tint. |
| Yellow 5 | This gives Mountain Dew it's yellow color, and perhaps... |
