Mountain Dew is another name for the old Irish drink called Poteen (pronounced puh-CHEEN). It is said to be fifty times as strong as brandy. That makes the soft drink a bit of a let down, eh?

It was invented in Marion, VA and first marketed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1948, and across the United States in 1964.
Mountain Dew was originally marketed as "zero proof moonshine" and had pictures of hillbillies on the bottle until 1973. In the 1970s through the late 1980s Mountain Dew had the crude nickname of "hillbilly piss" due to the carry-over bottle art and yellow coloring, but that usage has since fallen out of favor.
