    Ahhh moonshine. Used to know a southern guy, who wanting to get wrecked at parties but being broke, would buy gallon jugs of the stuff from “a guy I know”. Which clearly was pretty potent - once poured into a foam cup over some ice, it would dissolve out the whole bottom of the foam cup before he could put the mixer in.

    The “solution” was to put the Mountain Dew in first, so the shine is diluted enough to keep the cup’s integrity while he drank it… I outta check up on him, see how he’s doin’

      I never tried putting it in a foam cup! Good on him for the Mountain Dew. I don’t drink the stuff but that’s historically what it was made for- as a mixer for moonshine.

        Today I Learned that Mountain Dew was meant to be mixed with whiskey, which apparently tastes kinda like a whiskey sour?

        Thanks for the cool history drop friend!
