#Exit the gungeon 2 player series#
On the other hand, the beautiful simplicity of plain water didn’t have me down multiple doses of Excedrin Migraine to understand it, so it really could go either way.Exit the Gungeon is a small, arcade-style, spin-off 'dungeon climber' that immediately follows the adventures of the misfit Gungeoneers attempting to survive a series of increasingly dangerous elevators and countless waves of enemies. The only bit of business left is to determine is, which is the superior dew? On one hand, it could be argued that the soda is better by virtue of its magical, addictive taste. Okay, so, I (just barely) made it through all the ingredients of Mountain Dew, which are all the above molecules mixed together in a bright yellow soup of sugar and preservatives. This is what yellow looks like in black and white. This one actually gives Mountain Dew its bright hue, as opposed to every other ingredient, which simply preserves that color for all of eternity. EDTA or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (C10H16N2O8) - I will never attempt to say “ethylenediaminetetraacetic” aloud.įinally, we come to the final ingredient, yellow 5, also known as tartrazine. Oh, in case you’re wondering, it’s also a preservative. Long-Arm.ĮDTA follows, which Varelas says is controversial because it has some negative health effects associated with it, but in very small doses - like in Mountain Dew - it shouldn’t cause any issues. Frankly, I found this to be really confusing, so all you need to know here is that it also preserves the taste and color of the Dew.Įrythorbic acid AKA C6H8O6 aka Mr. Another preservative, Varelas explains that this is “the sodium salt of benzoic acid.” In this context, a “salt” doesn’t mean table salt - instead, it just has to do with how the ions are charged. “Natural flavors” is listed next, but since the FDA allows companies to be this ambiguous in its description of flavoring agents, we’ll just have to move onto sodium benzoate. ” Varelas explains, “Chelating agents are in a lot of foods because they prevent taste spoiling, preserve the color and improve the shelf life of the product.” Citric acid, which keeps your Dew doin’ what it do. Citric acid is used for flavoring, but it’s also a “ chelating agent.
Much of that is going to be citric acid, which is also the next ingredient in Mountain Dew. So all you need to understand here is that it’s an orange all squished up, minus any excess water. The third ingredient is concentrated orange juice, but Varelas explains that, to break that down, it would take explaining every single element inside of an orange, which could fill paragraphs worth. If Mountain Dew isn’t actual dew, how does it compare to its namesake? Are they similar in any way? How do they differ? Can boring-old clear dew even remotely compare to the neon-yellow Mountain Dew ? And while we’re at it, which is superior, Dew or dew? Then Pepsi bought the product in 1964, and the rest, as they say, is history.īut I’m still stuck on the name.
Eventually, people figured out that Mountain Dew was pretty rad in its own right, so they began drinking it sans-whiskey. Intended as a mixer for whiskey, the brew got its name from the slang term “mountain dew,” which referred to mountain-brewed moonshine. So then, why the misleading name? Well, Mountain Dew was born in 1932 in the foothills of Tenessee’s Smoky Mountains. , some water sources for Pepsi products may be mountain-adjacent, but they are most certainly not dew - of that, you can be sure. Sure, with over 100 factories here in the U.S. I know this may come as a life-shattering surprise to you, but the delicious, citrus-packed, caffeine-loaded, brotastic soft drink known as Mountain Dew is not - nor does it contain - actual dew from a mountainside.
