Will you be trying the new Mountain Dew breakfast drink?

From the creators of the “fourth meal,” now comes a revolution for first meal. Taco Bell is introducing breakfast soda, a mix of Mountain Dew and Tropicana orange juice.

Mountain Dew A.M. will added to the breakfast menu rolled out at about 800 restaurants in 14 states earlier this year. The chain plans to take the menu national by 2014 if the test goes well.

But the Ross family will likely not be trying this early morning beverage.

“It’s like a motor fuel,” says Dave Ross. “My wife won’t even drink out of a cup that once held Mountain Dew, she is so afraid of its potency.”

He thinks she’s scared of the drink’s appearance with its green, iridescent quality which he says has a “vaguely radioactive appearance.”

A Ross and Burbank listener says Dave’s wife may be wise to stay away.

Connie in Bellevue writes:

You wife might be justified for not drinking Mountain Dew. Homemade glow sticks! Save 1/4 of a 16 ounce bottle mountain dew, 3 caps of peroxide, tiny bit of baking soda. Shake.
