Well to first adress this question we shall look at the ingredients. Yellow 5, a popular colouring addative in many food products, is often accussed of being the predicessor of many erectile dysfunctional syndroms, though not shrinking ones penis, it can prevent sexual stimulation in a man. This myth was debunked in 1998 by the Food and Drug Administration though. They tested on well over 300 subjects and found that Yellow 5 contained no adverse effects, and yet mountain dew was responsible for causing erectile dysfunctions. The mail culpret they now believe is the high accidity of the drink, which can corrode the arteries and prevent the penis from being engorged with blood.

Origins: Wild rumors like the ones quoted above about a popular brand of lemon-lime soda have been circulating for several years now. The first clue to its questionable veracity is the variety of reported effects: Drinking Mountain Dew will shrink your testicles. Or decrease your sperm count. Or cause your penis to grow smaller. Well, whatever occurs, it only happens to guys, and it hits them below the belt, right? Sounds a lot like the early 1990s legend that claimed Tropical Fantasy brand soft drinks contained a "secret ingredient" to cause sterility in black male drinkers, doesn't it?
These rumors are primarily spread about PepsiCo's Mountain Dew soft drink, although it has also been told about Mello Yello (a Coca-Cola product which, though still available, has been supplanted by Surge). The key factor is the presence of a dye called Yellow No. 5 in these drinks (presumably in large quantities), a food coloring that allegedly has nasty effects on one's manhood.

Yellow No. 5, also known as tartrazine, is an FD&C (i.e., approved for use in food, drugs, and cosmetics) coloring dye commonly used to give various foods (such as beverages, candy, and ice cream) a bright lemon yellow color. It has long been deemed safe by the Food and Drug Administration. It has also been in use since 1916, so if it were shrinking penises and testicles, we'd probably have heard something more than rumors about it by now. (The FDA's established acceptable daily intake [ADI] for tartrazine is 5.0 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day, which is about .01 ounces for a 132-pound person.) Many other common food products contain Yellow No. 5 as well, so more than just Mountain Dew drinkers would notice the effect if it were real. (Soft drinks don't contain a significantly larger amount of Yellow No. 5 than other food
products.)

The FDA has required since 1979 that food and drugs containing Yellow No. 5 be labeled to indicate its presence (and the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires similar labeling for meat and poultry), but that requirement came about because tartrazine was found to be associated with a variety of allergic type reactions in sensitive people, not because it wreaked havoc with the male reproductive system.

If you're male and drink a lot of Mountain Dew, you will notice one related but perfectly harmless side effect: quite a bit of yellow liquid will flow out of your penis.

I'll add that if this were the case Mtn Dew would've folded a long time ago; no one would buy it for one and second the FDA would've yanked it off the shelves.

Try not to believe everything you hear and remember if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is an "urban legend"

No it is not true. I don't know how these things get started. There is nothing that is going to shrink it. Nothing.
