They were over dew for a spill. Dew they know why it erupted out of the tank? 🙂 Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk ---

Fantastic. I think this is enough for a Wikipedia category on edible floods, alongside such greats as: [The London Beer Flood of 1814](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Beer_Flood) [The Great Molasses Flood of 1919](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Molasses_Flood) [The Honolulu molasses spill of 2013](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honolulu_molasses_spill) (what’s up with molasses, anyway?) Though the fact that it involves Mountain Dew perhaps stretches the definition of “edible”, considering that they apparently consider it an industrial hazard. ---

I was taken with this sentence: > [@](#): > > There was concern the thousands of gallons of sugar and caffeine would enter the city’s water system impacting the wildlife… Yeah, dozens of overly-caffeinated deer and raccoons terrorizing the neighborhoods… ---
