Sep 21, 200223 yr Author What????And start a trend in England????The instructors there would never forgive us!!!:chuckle: :chuckle:
Sep 22, 200223 yr Be warned England Mt. Dew is why teeth bleaching was invented. It turns your teeth yellow. (other things too). Give me some of that good ole Mt. Dew. Hey Julie Hi from Indiana! Glad you passed the test. Good luck!
Sep 22, 200223 yr Thanks for the info, I think most students are addicted to either diet coke or to redbull which is a high caffine drink. You don't need to start a trend over here, I am sure it will make it's way over the pond eventually!Allthough when my friend goes over to the US, I may add MT.Dew to lucky charms on my shopping list. :)
Sep 22, 200223 yr Author Hey! I have a friend that lives in England....I could send her some Mt. Dew and she could send me some Redbull!That way, Whisper, it'd make it across the pond quicker!
