    I may be wrong, and talking out of my ass, but I know it has a lot of caffeine.

    Anecdote warning: I, due to my autism, get fixated on certain foods, hobbies, whatever, etc. On a job I worked, I decided I liked Mountain Dew for 4 or 5 days, and “wore it out” in American Southern parlance, and then abandoned it. A day later, I noticed I got a headache around 2 PM everyday, for 2 or 3 days.

    I said to my coworker in the truck “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, do I have a brain tumor or am I about to have a stroke?”

    She said “It’s those fucking Mountain Dews you drank for days. They’re loaded with caffeine.”

    I’ve avoided them since. But the Code Red Mountain Dews are delicious.
