Wait, I just removed it and it actually worked.

I actually poached an egg in Mountain Dew.

Have you ever wanted to eat nothing but Mountain Dew?

Me neither, but that's exactly what I'm gonna be doing

for the next few days.

This is the "Mountain Dew Cookbook".

It's full of 96 recipes that all have Mountain Dew in them,

and I'm gonna be making only food from this cookbook.

I hope I don't die.

(intense rock music)

It is far too early for Mountain Dew.

And yet,

(opening can)

(sipping drink)

this is my life now.

My first meal of the day is gonna be Mountain Dew pancakes.

They're pancakes, but green.

So for the pancakes themselves

all you need to do is mix Mountain Dew

with a complete buttermilk pancake mix,

so that's pretty simple.

And as with any pancakes, you heat 'em on a skillet,

flip 'em them over after they bubble, and enjoy.

Now those are some pancakes right there.

The real atrocity here is the syrup,

which is made with Karo oil,

sugar, and Mountain Dew.

I'm from Vermont,

I have seven bottles of real Vermont maple syrup currently.

I feel like this is a personal affront to me.

But you know what?

The cookbook told me to do it.

(upbeat music)

That's some breakfast right there.

Some people wake up in the morning with coffee,

I wake up with Mountain Dew pancakes.

(rock music)

That syrup is very sweet, tastes like honey,

and I think I like it better than fake maple syrup

because it's not trying to pretend to be maple syrup,

it's its own thing.

The pancakes actually are pretty fluffy.

They're nice, they're airy.

These are so green.

I'm gonna go get dressed, get ready for work,

do a bit of work.

And I will see you at lunchtime.

After breakfast I was feeling very highly caffeinated

there was a lot of sugar, let me just say that.

But now it's lunchtime, I'm getting a bit hungry again.

I'm ready to inject some more caffeine

and sugar into my veins.

I'm going to be making grilled cheese sandwiches.

And these are pretty simple,

all I'm gonna be doing is reducing some Mountain Dew,

mixing that with some cheddar cheese, and some cream cheese,

and then spreading that on some white bread

and toasting that bread.

Let's do this.

I completely just made like a greenish brown sludge

and it's so disgusting looking.

I am afraid of this.

It just feels way too thin to spread right now.

This looks like some witch is brewing

a cauldron of evil potion.

I'm gonna try a little bite of this cheese

and see what it tastes like.

Oh, that's really bad.

I think I need to try again

with a little bit less Mountain Dew,

and honestly a little less cream cheese too.

Attempt number two, a little less Mountain Dew.

I know I'm modifying the recipe

from something that was in the cookbook,

but I wanna survive this challenge

and I want to enjoy myself,

so I think that this will be a slightly better version

of the grilled cheese that is in

the "Mountain Dew Cookbook".

(upbeat music)

This is so much more promising,

it's just not a liquid anymore.

So I think I will be able to actually spread this

on the bread and then toast the bread up,

and make a pretty decent grilled cheese sandwich.

(upbeat music)

Look at those bad boys,

those look like good grilled cheese sandwiches

if the cheese was green normally.

(mischievous music)

Oh my God.

All right, mm.

Okay, that's pretty good.

I'm glad I made the adjustments that I did.

It was definitely a little too sweet before.

You don't have to follow a recipe exactly,

it's just a starting off point.

It's like Shrek's (beep).

I'm so sorry.

This is a good lunch,

but that was a lot of cheese.

So it's about dinner time on my first day of eating

dew, dew, dew, dew, dew, dew, dew.

I'm very hungry, it's pretty late

in the evening actually now.

Tonight I'm gonna be making some chicken.

I have to marinate the chicken

in this Mountain Dew marinade,

leave it in the marinade for an hour, and then pan fry it.

(chicken sizzling)

I'm also gonna make a sauce

that's just sour cream, chives,

and a little bit of hot sauce.

(upbeat music)

It looks pretty good.

The flavor of that marinade is very prominent.

It's very limey and lemony.

Let's try it with the sauce.

(Dakota chewing)

Oh boy, you can really taste the Mountain Dew.

I think the marinade needed a bit of oil,

and then maybe a little bit less citrus.

I shouldn't be eating this this late,

I'm gonna be awake all night,

I'm gonna be wired on caffeinated chicken.

I'll call day one a success.

The only thing that made me feel gross was the pancakes.

Those hit me pretty hard.

I'm feelin' good.

(mischievous music)

Good morning from day two Dakota,

I'm ready to eat some Mountain Dew food.

I woke up this morning and I was like, mm, I want a bagel.

And then I was like, nope, you're havin' green eggs and ham.

So this morning I'm gonna be starting the day

with green eggs and ham.

It's just poached eggs, but instead of poaching it in water,

you poach it in Mountain Dew.

I don't think Gordon Ramsey would approve,

but you know, you gotta do what you gotta do.

(egg cracking)

Oh my God, do you see all the foam on this?

This is disgusting.

This is not how you're supposed to poach an egg.

Why is there so much foam?

(mischievous music)

Wait, I just removed it and it actually worked.

Oh my God, I can't believe it actually worked.

I actually poached an egg in Mountain Dew.

Let's put it on some ham and toast, and try it out.

(upbeat music)

Okay, this egg poached weirdly well in Mountain Dew.

(Dakota slurping)

Maybe Mountain Dew is better than water for poaching eggs.

(mimicking explosion)

Yeah, it's just like a little bit sweeter

than normal poached eggs.

If you like poached eggs, you're gonna like this.

Little bit of Canadian bacon and some toast, delicious.

I'm a little bummed they didn't include

a Mountain Dew hollandaise sauce recipe.

This will have to do.

The more I ate of that the better I liked it.

That was a good start to Tuesday

or do's day as we call it here.

I'm looking forward to the other meals I have to make today.

The big thing is I'm out of Mountain Dew,

I gotta go get more.

Another box of these.

For lunch today I'm actually not feeling super hungry,

so I'm gonna make some mozzarella bites.

These look very tasty, and very red.

And they're actually coated in FLAMIN' HOT CHEETOS.

I hope these are good, 'cause they look good.

Boy oh boy, I'm the picture of health.

You make these by melting some mozzarella,

some cream cheese, and some Mountain Dew.

(cheerful music)

Freezing that up a little bit.

(cheerful music)

And then coating it in FLAMIN' HOT CHEETOS

and deep frying them.

(cheerful music)

These are so bright.

The colors on these feel radioactive.

I feel like I might get a super power eating these, or die.

Those are the only two options.

I feel like this belongs a Nickelodeon in the nineties.

All right, let's try this.

(food crunching)

The cheese is kinda sweet and the flamin' hotness

of the FLAMIN' HOT CHEETOS is no longer flamin' hot.

I don't dislike them, but I don't like them.

As with the grilled cheese, it would've been way better

had they just forgone the cream cheese filling.

Just do the mozzarella,

The cream cheese I feel like it's taking away from this.

I wish that there was some sort of sauce with these,

maybe like marinara sauce I feel like would go

really well with these.

Ugh, I can't eat much more of those.

My stomach feels somethin'.

(cheerful music)

I think I might have to Mountain Dew doo.

So sorry for using those words.

I need some greens, and not green as in Mountain Dew

It's been a couple hours since I ate those mozzarella bites,

and I do not feel great.

Bleh.

So I came here to the grocery store with the intention

of buying tomatillos to make salsa verde,

but the grocery store doesn't have any tomatillos,

and it's the only grocery store that's open right now

'cause it's kinda late in the evening.

But I also really am not hungry.

Those mozzarella bites kinda made me feel sick,

and so I like, my stomach's kinda feeling eh,

and I might just not eat dinner tonight.

Probably not the best decision

but it's kinda what I'm feelin' right now.

(upbeat music)

Do you ever wake up and dread getting out of bed

because you know the first thing you have to eat

is jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon

and filled with Mountain Dew?

Me too.

For some reason I am super tired today.

Like way more tired than I ever normally am.

And I'm wondering to myself,

is it because I've had so much sugar?

Is that making me tired?

This morning I've decided to forego breakfast

like I usually would because I usually

kinda feel a little sick if I eat breakfast in the morning.

And I'm going to in a little while,

start making myself some lunch,

which is gonna be some jalapeno poppers.

The first thing you gotta do

is marinate the jalapenos in Mountain Dew.

So I'm gonna start by taking out the seeds

and marinating them for an hour.

Then I'm gonna make the cream cheese filling,

and then I'm gonna make the dip

which is like sour cream, mayonnaise,

Mountain Dew, and a couple other spices.

These aren't the prettiest things in the world.

In fact they're pretty gross looking.

All the ingredients seem like

they should make something tasty,

so I'm actually pretty excited to eat these.

(sliding pan in oven)

(turning dial)

Okay, these have kind of exploded

inside of the toaster oven,

and the bacon isn't crisping yet.

I'm gonna put them on the stove top

to just kinda crisp the bacon up

a little bit before I eat them.

(poppers sizzling)
