shiroboi Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I just moved to Thailand this year. Since I was in high school (36 now) I was a big fan of Mt. Dew. Granted, it's the version from the states made with corn syrup, but i was also a fan of the "Throwback" version which contained real sugar. I was seriously missing one of my favorite drinks. Imagine my delight when they brought Mt. Dew to Thailand a month or so ago. At least several times a week and for one particular week, I'd buy a Dew from 7-11 everyday. Roughly around the same time, my wife started noticing issues with me. I was spacing out way more than usual, messing up basic tasks, couldn't concentrate. It got so bad, I took my 5 year old daughter to the bathroom, walked out and totally forgot about her. (Found her a few min later). It was like I had a fog in my brain and it wasn't working correctly. I stopped drinking Mt. Dew and went back to my normal tea and coffee. Back to normal. Had another Mt. Dew the other day. Same brain fog. What is in this stuff? I never had an issue drinking it before. I realize nobody else has probably had these issues but I'd love to hear opinions or if anyone can read Thai, the ingredients list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 These are the ingredients. Too much sugar or caffeine? Mountain Dew ingrediants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiroboi Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 These are the ingredients. Too much sugar or caffeine? Mountain Dew ingrediants Those are the US ingredients. Products are usually reformulated for the Thai market. There's no FDA over here. It doesn't taste the same so I'm gonna assume that's the case. Doubt I'll get an answer but I'm bringing it up so maybe someone else can test it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Thai Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 BVO is used in Mountain Dew in the USA. This is banned in Europe and Japan. Maybe an alternative ingredient is used in Thailand. But more than likely, all the sugar is causing you problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Thai Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 You might be better off trying to source the Original Mountain Dew. Although, no, that stuff is a little bit too strong. It might kill you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaRanter Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks to the OP. My wife is about to pop. She is already playing me like a yoyo. Like a drill sergeant and an incompetent draft. I will have to stock up on mountain dew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiroboi Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 I had heard about BVO but the USA Mt.Dew didn't give me problems. Have no idea what is in there now that would give me the brain farts so bad. MegaRanter, not sure what you're on about but, uh, you're welcome. Wife having a baby?

thenoilif Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 If anything caffeine and sugar should have the opposite effect but maybe there is some new chemical in the Thai formula. Sure you're not mixing a little vodka in your dew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
