Amp is an
energy drink made by the fine people who gave us
Mountain Dew. A few years ago, there was a
blurb in
The Onion that explained how Mountain Dew led
users to go on to harder
beverages. How right they were. This
concoction might now be my favorite beverage, as the original Mountain Dew is getting a little too
bland and
sweet for my adult tastes; a fact that was breaking my
heart until I found this.
Mountain Dew's "Amp" comes in a spiffy 8.4 fl oz can with, get this, a GREEN TAB to open it with. It is also filled with several B vitamins to compliment my vegan lifestyle. Faithful to the original yet nutritionally pointless soda, it contains oodles of caffeine, Yellow 5, and, yes, brominated vegetable oil. It also comes with the hefty price tag of about $2/can, much like a drink at the bar. I feel like a grown up now.
