Mountain Dew

MSH Aug '07 #8 "Soda Can"

Mountain Dew was born way back in the hills of Tennessee in the 1940s. The name Mountain Dew was first trademarked by two brothers, Barney and Ally Hartman, who ran a bottling plant in Knoxville. The Hartman's Mountain Dew, however, was a lemon-lime drink used as a mixer with whiskey.

Dew's appeal went national when Pepsi-Cola bought the franchise in 1964.

The "Do the Dew" tagline appeared in 1993 - along with the Dew Dudes - in the award-winning commercial "Been There, Done That."
