Mountain Dew drinkers know their distinctively yellow beverage of choice is packed with caffeine, but a new lawsuit might get them thinking about what else is in there. PepsiCo, the drink's manufacturer, is being sued by Ronald Ball of Wisconsin, who claims in a 2009 lawsuit that he opened a can from a vending machine, tasted something foul, and spat out a dead mouse, acccording to MadisonRecord.com. Ball, who is seeking damages in excess of $50,000, claims he then sent the mouse to Pepsi, which destroyed the mouse's body. However, Pepsi is now moving to dismiss the case, citing testimony from an expert who claims that acid used when the drink is bottled would have caused the rodent to transform into a "'jelly-like' substance," according to LegalNewsline.com. Mountain Dew's mouse-dissolving capabilities may also be helped by another ingredient in the bubbly beverage: brominated vegetable oil (BVO), a chemical that Gizmodo points out is banned in Europe and Japan, but is allowed in limited quantities in sodas like Mountain Dew, Squirt and Fanta Orange. BVO is added to soda for the purpose of giving it more consistent flavoring www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/03/mountain-dew-dissolves-mice_n_1180994.htmlDisgusting.

that is disgusting. If i ever found a mouse in ANY drink of mine i would sue for more than 50,000. it has nothing to do with greed, its just disgusting and potentionally harming and can scar someone.

He tasted something foul... but didn't notice an object, i.e. the body of a mouse, actually in his mouth?
In the bottling/canning process they have to have the liquid dispensed in a manner like what a soda fountain uses, right? Something that mixes carbonated water with syrup? So presumably, a mouse had it's ass just shot right out of that and into a can? Then the body (which he only noticed due to taste) fit through the tiny hole?
I call so much bull****.

I've a new item on my list for when I die...at the end of the service, I wish for my body to be dunked into an evil mastermind-type vat of Code Red and put on display in a store window 'til I'm fully dissolved.
