Those who have been reading here for awhile know that the nickname Mt. Cat came as a shortened version of his real last name which literally translated to English from Italian means "Mountain Lion. " (It became Mt. Cat because Mountain Lion was too long to fit on a license plate... no really I'm serious)
After this revelation I had to purchase some. $1.77 for a 12 pack, hey it's worth it! I called said Mt. Cat and informed him that he had his own soda. He was quite jealous as I drank this nectar of the gods while he thirstily listened on the other end of the phone smacking his parched lips. "So what does it taste like?"
"Ummm well it kinda tastes like a metallic version of Mountain Dew." I reply. "Here's what you do. Go buy a Mountain Dew and then bite down on a penny just before taking a gulp!" He was less than impressed but that doesn't change his elation that regardless of quality has still his own soda. Does A-Rod have his own soda? No. How about Brad Pitt or even Barack Obama? Heck no... You have to be some kind of special to rate your own soda. (Even if you can't buy it where you live). I bet none of you have your own soda... The closest I come is a knock off brand of Dr. Pepper called Dr. Perky... ummm I don't think so.
Go grab some Mountain Lion and enjoy!

I can see they really went all out on the design of the can. I guess they were going for that "subtle" look. Cheers Doc!!
Well, I actually stumbled across some candy named after me while visiting Panama. It translates in English to "Sweet and Tasty". The makers clearly must have been thinking about me.
Ummm, no. I agree, Dr. Perky would not be named after you, lol.
I remember when Vin put that up on facebook. Love it.
While ARod might not have his own drink, don't forget that Tiger does (but Gatorade cut off production when the scandal broke.)
I guess it takes a certain type of guy to get his own drink.
Sounds like one of those generic brand sodas you find in the grocery store.
I put my blood, sweat and tears into creating the formula for that drink. Literally!
A metallic Mountain Dew.. Makes you want to run right out and buy a case!!
Yeah, no.. :):)
Yes ladies and Gents it takes a special kind of man to have his own soda...
I do have a food product that shares my name, although I'm pretty sure it came first (and no, I'm not named "after" it, just coincidental!).
LOL!! Just fabulous!
Doc,
If you had a soda it would be 'Dr. Grapefruit' since you love those Greyhound cocktails so much! LOL
They should make a Dr. Beer... Beer flavored soda!
Or how about Doc Holliday's Huckleberry Soda?
You "WILL" send him some of course!!!
Mic... He is gonna have to come and visit to try some... (or just get a Mt. Dew and a penny)
Seriously?! Mountain CAT! I love it! SEND ME SOME!!!!
Anybody with a drink named after them is worthy of respect...sadly it's not alcoholic...now that would be respect!!!!
What a cool cat... gets his own pop...errr... SODA. Color me jealous.
$1.77 for a twelve pack? Great name better price.
I think I'll just stick with good ol' H20.;)
I want Mountain Lion! We have Mountain Chill out this way!
It probably tastes like that since money was likely either saved on the alloy container, or they're piping it through lead pipes. This is Food Lion we're talking about - not known for quality.
