"Mountain Dew" used to refer to illegally distilled liquor, or moonshine. Today, though, the phrase is associated with a line of sweet, caffeinated beverages made and distributed by PepsiCo – and very much legally. The name comes from the inventors, a pair of Tennessee bottlers who were searching for the perfect mixer. In the years since they first concocted Mountain Dew, their citrusflavored soft drink has become one of the most popular sodas in the world.
