Blue Dye #5 in Kool-Aid Purplesaurus Rex [3]) "combine with bile, and form a brilliant green."
There's no doubt about it: drinking blue liquids turns your poop green. The real question is this: how often does it happen? Did Pepsi release this drink into the world, knowing the shock legions of caffeine-addicted teenagers (and haunted-beverage aficionados) would receive when peering into the crapper? Or is this a rare side effect, dependent perhaps on diet, metabolism, or the same kind of genetic quirk that causes asparagus to make some people's pee smell?
There's only one way to find out.
On Friday, September 17, PoopReporters across the country will Doo the Dew. Our goal is to find out whether green poop is a common side effect of Mountain Dew Pitch Black, or something rare that occurs only in the lucky (?) few.
Here's how to participate:
- On Friday, drink two 20-ounce bottles of Mountain Dew Pitch Black over the course of the day.
- This weekend, watch your poop.
- Report on Monday if it was green or not.
VERY IMPORTANT: Report back on Monday NO MATTER WHAT COLOR POOP YOU FIND. It's just as important to know how many people were not affected as it is to know how many of us painted the bowl green.
It's just that easy. If you want, enter your email below; I'll send you a message on Friday reminding you to drink your black Dew, and another email on Monday reminding you to submit your report.
