Mountain Dew!





The Shisler's send us this great pic from the Great Smoky Mountains with a home-made PSU Track Alumni Wrist Band! This STILL officially enters him in the contest, as long as he suffers the humiliation of a penalty trip to York, PA and promises never to forget his wrist band again!

The Great Smoky Mountains are also close to the home of Mountain Dew, Knoxville Tennessee. Mountain Dew started as a lemon flavored syrup for use in flavoring Jack Daniel's whiskey. Once they added orange juice and a little carbonated water, the nectar of the gods we now know was born. Pepsi acquired the rights in 1965 and soon got rid of the great hillbilly theme (complete with rifle shots toward the revenuer fleeing the outhouse!). It has tickled my innards ever since I discovered it in 1965.
