I make fun of Kentucky about Mountain Dew but when the panic buying for the coronavirus started, my local Walmart had a run on and was out of toilet paper, baking goods, canned foods and yes, Mountain Dew. I was in there yesterday and saw 2 men that were obviously father and son, and they had two shopping carts filled with nothing but Mountain Dew.
Of course, that Walmart is only about 10 miles from the Tennessee/Kentucky state line, so they might've come down from Fountain Run or Bugtussle (yes, there really is a settlement in Kentucky named Bugtussle) to stock up for the week.
Yes, Bugtussle, adjacent to Turkey Ball Falls, we are all familiar with it ... :^)
ReplyDeleteSo Mountain Dew is a thing for some people, who knew ? Is it drank straight up or combined with other drinks ?
Is Bugtussle twinned with the (in)famous Bugscuffle of LawDog fame?
ReplyDeleteThere is a Bugtussle in Lower Alabama tho I dunno about their Mt Dew consumption.
ReplyDeleteMountain Dew makes a great Colonic irrigation tonic too. Destroys them nasty polyps by dissolving 'em and then flushing out the remains like the asshole was spittin' pumpkin seeds.
ReplyDeleteWe also have Possum Trot, Monkey's Eyebrow and a small community over by the Lakes called Confederate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate,_Kentucky Really surprises that one is still on the maps.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Big Bone Lick and Beaver Lick Kentucky.
DeleteBug Tussle was the original home of the Clampets, Jed, Granny, Jethro and the oh so hawt to a 10 year old, Ellie May of the Beverly Hillbillies fame.
ReplyDeleteUseless Trivia
There are actually several cities named Bug Tussle. One in Texas, Alabama, and Oklahoma, but the Clampet's one is fictional.
Quotes
Mayor Amos Wentworth Hogg of Bug Tussle went to the Clampets for some money in Beverly Hills:
Mayor: Just this past Monday, it come to light that 5 high-placed officials was guilty of mismanaging funds.
Milburn Drysdale: Shocking! And who were they?
Mayor Amos Wentworth Hogg: Tax assessor, the Treasurer, Fire Chief, Police Chief, Justice of the Peace. The purpose of my coming out here was to raise money to cover their mistakes and avoid a public scandal.
Milburn Drysdale: Oh that's highly commendable, but why don't you just expose them?
Mayor Amos Wentworth Hogg: I happen to hold all 5 offices.
