I was out shopping with my GF Melissa and we came across one of her old neighbors that she hasn't seen in a while. They're asking each other about their daughters, they're about the same age and used to play together as kids. Melissa mentions that her daughter is prego and the ex-neighbor replies that so is hers.
The ex-neighbor then goes on to explain that "they weren't using birth control, because the boy drank a lot of Mountain Dew and they thought that would make him sterile"

I wish. A mountain dew binge is a whole lot cheaper than keeping the wifey on pills...

Hah, everyone knows that one isn't true!

The real truth is that Mountain Dew makes your stupid.... or is it only stupid people drink Mountain Dew...

The girl is somewhere near 20. I never met the "Dewd" and I really didn't want to involve myself in the conversation more than I had to.

When I was in middle school, the CW (conventional wisdom) was that if ya did it standing up she wouldn't get pregnant. (Gravity, maybe?) Not that I never did it standing up but I just couldn't see not having a Plan B, just in case.

Whew. If Mt. Drew doesn't make you sterile, then i'm in the clear! My fiance and I want kids some day, and I used to own all of this...

Also, I'm not surprized by the news. I was a teenager only a few years back, and thus hung out with a lot of teenagers, and all of us did various things that I now know were completely stupid, reckless, and illogical. Mt. Dew birth control makes alot more sense than a lot of crap we used to do! I mean, c'mon, mt. dew does a whole lot of terrible things to the human body, why not chemical sterilization?

If Mountain Dew makes you sterile, what does Ballentine do?

From my extensive observation, I'm pretty certain stupid makes you virile.

It's a little more like "Idiocracy" out there every day.

Might not be if you count the follow-up cost if it didn't work out too well.

Agreed...That's why I keep her riddled with pills.
