I don't think that the whole 'Yellow 6' thing is all that its cracked up to be. After all, if it really had serious 'side effects' as the myths say, the FDA would probably ban its sales here in the U.S. And, if you are curious, look at all the food you eat. You will see that Yellow 6 is in a lot more food than you think. I've seen it on the ingredients list on various sports drinks, microwave popcorn, chips, Doritos, various snack food products, and some ice cream.

Anyway, if it would take 149 cans of Mountain Dew to kill me (which the caffeine calculator says), I think that I would have more pressing issues on my mind, other than a caffeine overdose. After all, 149 cans x 12 ounces/can = 1,788 ounces = 111.75 gallons of Mountain Dew. You would probably die from your cells exploding from a massive overdose of water before the caffeine would kill you.
