The original Urban Legend is that Mountain Dew would be an effective birth control measure for guys (not girls) because it would decrease sperm count and mobility. It is not true.
In the fall of 1999 The Wall Street Journal that this rumor about Mountain Dew as a birthcontrol method "boomeranged across the country from Oregon to Washington, D.C., and from Texas to Montana." Its popularity continues to perplex health care officials, not to mention Mountain Dew's manufacturer, PepsiCo.
Rumormongers attribute the soft drink's alleged spermicidal properties to its high caffeine content (55 mg. per 12 oz. can, versus 45.6 mg. in Coke and 37.2 mg. in Pepsi) and/or the coloring agent Yellow Dye No. 5, but there's nothing in the scientific literature to support either claim. The FDA determined long ago that Yellow Dye No. 5 poses no health threats to non-allergic people, and as for caffeine, there's evidence to suggest it actually increases the motility and effectiveness of sperm cells, not the opposite.
But recently some state government officaials actually take this seriously. The state of Wisconsin warned parents recently that the belief that Mountain Dew has spermicidal properties could result in unwanted pregnancies if it goes unchallenged. Marjorie Saltzman, a longtime Planned Parenthood volunteer in Portland, Oregon, has lobbied PepsiCo to address the misinformation through advertising or special warning labels, so far without success, she says. The company claims it has never received a consumer inquiry or complaint in connection with the rumor.

Funny that you would listen to that, but not pay attention when someone in school says. THE ONLY WAY to 100% prevent pregnancy is to keep ANY penis away from your vagina. Any contact, however brief, or covered, COULD .make a baby!!!
That is what it is FOR--the fact that it feels good, is a BONUS!
Maybe a girl who drinks that many Dews, would have such rotten teeth and fat butt that she would have a hard time attracting a mate--but I doubt it. Everyone gets better looking at closing time.
And she would be pretty hyper--you might not get her to hold still--otherwise-hogwash!
Try to remember that when you have sex you COULD make a baby--are you ready for that? Is your bed-buddy ready to be a daddy?
This is serious business. Don't screw around with your future--and your life--take responsibiliy to have the life you want--Always use protection, and don't listen to some horny boy telling you he loves you when he really loves your drawers on the floor.. and he is dumber and more immature than you are--all boys grow up slower than girls.
Do you want your children to have a high school girl for a mother? Or a grown-up, educated and respectable woman? Be that first --then a mom.

No.
It doesn't matter what you eat or drink. Do it one of the right ways:
* Birth control pills obtained by prescription
* Contraceptive device inserted in the woman - by a licensed physician
* Wearing a new (not used) condom. That does not mean wrapping your organ in Saran wrap.
* Abstinence
* Have a vasectomy - then masturbate several times over the next few weeks to make sure you are shooting blanks by the time you engage in sexual activity your girl friend. Men have been known to get a woman pregnant after having a vasectomy because the operation does not get "it all."
* The woman has a hysterectomy.

Give her eight cans of beer, and after that she won't remember you and you won't have to deal with her anymore if she does get pregnant.
Actually, I believe that you would be trying to raise her blood sugar to an unacceptable level and interfere with the egg/sperm relationship adhering to the wall of the fallopian tubes. Would probably work with a diabetic who had an elevated blood sugar for a couple of days, but not as a one-time thing.
It's easier to give her a business card that you've fished out of a restaurant fish bowl. Tell her that you are the guy on the business card, nail her, then go on your merry way.

No that is not true at all. Sounds like the company that makes Mountain Dew started that one. By the way there are 10 spoons of sugar in a 12 ounce one.

If it is true it is only because of two things. 1 she has so much caffeine in her system that she can't land in one spot long enough for it to happen or 2 because she is pending most of her time in the bathroom. Don't believe everything you hear when the consequences of it being wrong could be life changing for someone.

Yes. That is absolutely true. By the way, I have some beachfront property in Colorado, or alternatively, a high mountain chateau in Florida I would like to sell you.

No, no, and a bigger NO! I know you know that a girl needs a BOY to get pregnant, and abstinence or a reliable form of birth control not to. Mountain Dew goes along with jumping up and down after, or doing it standing up....MYTHS!!!!

No she would not get pregnant with a child but she will look pregnant after all the weight she gains from consuming mass amounts of sugar.
