No argument, here. I'm very easily addicted to substances, and decided to play the odds in the short term, and keep my weight down. If I can get off of 3rd shift, and don't feel the need to shove so much caffeine down my throat, I'm going to try to switch to some sort of tea or something. TBH, I'm just happy that I'm only addicted to caffeine and nicotine, these days. Vicodin and I have gone some rounds.

But.... You've worked in kitchens all your life...

And now you're shitting on people who keep you in business?

I cook all the time and never with peppers. I didn't know this was a thing because I'm not on reddit 24/7. It was a cute little photo and you're being unnecessarily holier than thou about it. We just wanna be happy dude.

Mountain is more yellow like the left one. The bottles are green tinted like Sprite Bottles were. The left has less green. If Pepsi follows coke eventually it'll be pure piss color. Though that may be why they don't do that, fuck recycling. Not going to let our consumers know they're drinking piss.

With all due respect, you are 100% incorrect.

The only Mountain Dew bottles above the 20 oz are the gigantic Liter sizes, and those are too chunky to fit in even the more generously-sized car cupholder. The Liter sizes are also shaped very differently (they don't have that narrower grip part), so they're pretty visually distinctive. So the taller one (on the right) can't be anything other than the 20 oz.

Whereas the 13? 16? (can't remember which) sized bottle is narrower overall, shorter, and has a noticeably smaller cap, so the one on the left is 100% not the 20 oz. And the only bottles smaller than the 13? oz are the glass bottles and the tiny 8 oz. It can't be an 8 oz because the 8 oz bottles don't have that narrow grip bit at all and tend to also have black caps, not green.

ETA: I'll be damned, I was the one who was 100% incorrect. The one on the right is a 1-Liter, and the one on the left is the 20 oz. This is why you shouldn't get addicted to Mountain Dew, kids: it rots your brain cells and isn't even good for being an accurate know-it-all regarding Mountain Dew bottles on the Internet.

You actually get more drunk with diet sodas because of the aspartame in the drink. Any bartender will tell you this. The aspartame is actually worse for you than the sugar (albeit still not great because of the amount in the drink) many studies done on the adverse effects of any alternative sweetener.
