Reply to comment by hopper89 in These Mountain Dews are two different colors by The_Mr_Yeah

I used to be a Mountain Dew addict. I am not proud of this, but I can say with absolute certainty that the smaller/skinnier bottles (>16 oz) are made with a slightly lighter green plastic, and the bigger ones (<20 oz) are made with a slightly darker green plastic. The bigger bottles are also made of a thicker plastic, so that could also effect the color.

I guarantee you, OP, if you pour out the actual liquid of both bottles into clear glasses, they're the exact same shade of almost-but-not-quite-piss-yellow. It's the bottles themselves that are different.
