But it sure is disgusting imagining that you may drink a jellified mouse and not even know it.

THAT'S where my real fear comes in. ;O;
If you like ketchup, then I've got a story for you.

My university botany professor used to work at a tomato processing plant part-time, and he told me that they have dump trucks full of tomatoes that come in and unload them onto conveyor belts. They get washed with a spray of water as they go through, but it's impossible to hand-scrub them all. Inevitably there are always tons of tomato worms and mice hidden among the tomatoes, as well as their droppings. They have people standing at the conveyor belts whose job is to pick through the tomatoes as they pass through and remove any worms and mice they find before the tomatoes are dropped into a giant vat that crushes them into juice to be mixed with sugar and other stuff and eventually turned into ketchup.

Although they do get a lot of the tomato worms and mice out, my professor told me that it's just not possible to find them all, and it's not uncommon for some of the critters to slip past the workers and into the mixing vats. So any given serving of ketchup does contain trace amounts of worms, mice and feces. Of course, the cooking process destroys anything pathogenic, so it's safe for consumption. And don't even get me started on processed meats.

Just sayin'.

Worms in a soda thread?

Now I'm reminded of Slurm in Futurama.

But wasn't that soda in a worm (Well, slug, but whatever)?

Quitting Mountain Dew was harder than quitting cigs for me

I'm currently trying to attempt that now. Before I used to smoke weed through a bong, then weed + cigar, then weed + cigarette, now it's just cigarette. And I've been cutting back a lot recently. Still smoke it, but only fools go cold turkey.
If I still smoked cigs, I would try one of those "e-cigs" (vaporizes liquid nicotine.) Speaking of vaping, I use a Magic Flight Launch Box for marijuana

I don't even like Mountain Dew, but I doubt that would keep me from drinking it if I did. Gotta die somehow.. might as well die from Mountain Dew, lol.

Find someone who owns a restaurant and find out where they buy their Mountain Dew syrup from. Mix it with some club soda and you should be good to go.

Mountain Dew Voltage could be made with orphan tears and Nuclear waste, and I would still drink that delicious nectar.

Same applies for red and green Game Fuels. (Not the blue WoW Game Fuel though.)
