[{"role": "system", "content": "Mountain Dew (stylized as Mtn Dew) is a carbonated soft drink brand produced and owned by PepsiCo. The original formula was invented in 1940 by Tennessee beverage bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman. A revised formula was created by Bill Bridgforth in 1958. The rights to this formula were obtained by the Tip Corporation of Marion, Virginia. William H. \"Bill\" Jones of the Tip corporation further refined the formula, launching that version of Mountain Dew in 1961. In August 1964, the Mountain Dew brand and production rights were acquired from Tip by the Pepsi-Cola company, at which point distribution expanded more widely across the United States and Canada. Between the 1940s and 1980s, there was just one variety of Mountain Dew, which was citrus-flavored and caffeinated in most markets. Diet Mountain Dew was introduced in 1988, followed by Mountain Dew Red, which was introduced and subsequently discontinued in 1988. In 2001, a cherry flavor called Code Red debuted. This product line extension trend has continued, with expansion into specialty, limited time production, region-specific, and retailer-specific (Taco Bell, 7-Eleven) variations of Mountain Dew. Production was extended to the UK in 1996, but was phased out in 1998.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I really love Mountain Dew, its my fave, I drink it whenever I can, Do you like Mountain Dew?

I like it more than Mello Yello, but less than a lot of darker sodas."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yeah thats why I generally stick to the dew because its lighter than dark colas like Pepsi. They say Mountain Dew really isnt too healthy though. Do you know what they put in it? "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Sugar is all I know for sure.  The formula for the drink is kept secret, though it's changed a few times, most recently in 1961."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh really? Well I seen on the label that they put brominated vegetable oil in it, DO you have any clue what that is? "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I think it's mostly used to keep the elements in soda from separating while it's being distributed."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh ok, I heard a lot of bad things but I dont care, I only drink like 2 cans a day, Thats not too bad right? "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Probably not.  If you're really worried, you can always try switching to Diet Mountain Dew, though it's not completely proven to be overall healthy."}]
