Mountain Dew was first developed in the 1940s by Tennessee beverage bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman as a whiskey mixer. Its citrusy, lemon-lime flavor was crafted to pair well with bourbon, and the name “Mountain Dew” was a nod to the slang term for homemade moonshine. Originally a regional drink meant to complement spirits, it eventually transformed into the bold, neon-green soda recognized around the world today! - #history #didyouknow #photography #facts #soda #viral

The Pop Star and the Prime Minister sounds like a rom-com we'd absolutely be obsessed with. But it might be happening IRL: Katy Perry was just spotted out for dinner and drinks with former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau. 🇨🇦⁠ ⁠ Katy is currently in the Great White North for her Lifetimes Tour and spent Monday night in Montréal with Trudeau. Here's what went down:⁠ ⁠ 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ The duo, along with Katy's pup Nugget, went for a 90-minute walk around Mount Royal Park.⁠ ⁠ 🍝 Katy and Justin enjoyed a "low-key" dinner at Le Violin, where they ordered the Chef's Menu and the pair stopped into the kitchen to thank the chef personally.⁠ ⁠ ET can confirm it was just the two at dinner, but if it was a date, onlookers tell us there was no PDA was spotted.⁠ ⁠ 🥃 They capped off the night with a drink on the terrace at Taverne Atlantic. Katy enjoyed a Crown Royal Canadian whiskey. When in Canada, right?⁠ ⁠ The night out together comes shortly after Katy's breakup from Orlando Bloom.
