The Mountain Dew Conspiracy Theory: Are New Flavors Linked to World Events?
Content creators from 'The Makeshift Project' have recently sparked online discussion by highlighting a peculiar 'Mountain Dew conspiracy theory.' This theory suggests an unusual correlation between the release of new Mountain Dew flavors and significant, often unfortunate, global events. In a recent video, the creators presented several examples to illustrate the theory. They pointed out that the release of Mountain Dew Code Red in 2001 was followed by the 9/11 attacks, and the Maui Burst flavor preceded the devastating wildfires in Maui. Furthermore, they noted that the Star Spangled Splash was released around the time of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, and the Pitch Black flavor coincided with a global IT system outage. The discussion concluded with speculation surrounding the recently launched Mango Rush flavor, exclusively available at Little Caesars. Drawing connections, the creators humorously pondered if a major flood might occur in Houston, Texas, given the city's high concentration of Little Caesars outlets. While presented as a lighthearted observation, the video has nonetheless engaged viewers in a debate about coincidences and patterns.
