Mountain Dew: The Mouse-Melter

Refreshingly corrosive!

 

Pepsi Co recently defended itself against accusations that a guy found a mouse in his Mountain Dew. Their argument: no, you didn't, because Mountain Dew will turn a mouse body into goo. Therefore, you cannot have found a mouse in your can.
 
When your lawyer decides that the right thing to do is admit that your soda melts dead mice, you know you're really in a bind.
 
According to Pepsi's documents, if the man had really found a mouse in his can, it would have long since been dissolved into "a jelly-like substance." The can had been bottled fifteen months earlier - long enough, experts agree, for all the citric acid in Mountain Dew to have wreaked havoc.
