“Except for the color it looks like a fully functional Mountain Dew,” said Marie Grant, mother.

Marcus Olson immediately spit it out.

“It tasted a little bitter. It didn’t taste like Mountain Dew at all,” he said.

His mother said her son drank at least a shot. Grant is furious. She claims she’s only getting the run around from both Pepsi and the store where she bought it.

“They say well send us in a bottle, here’s some coupons for free Pepsi products and oops. Safeway, I got a letter from their human resources, and they say they aren’t accountable for anything. That it is a vendor issue and to deal with them,” said the mother.

The family fears other bottles might end up in the wrong hands and go unnoticed.

“And you have a staggering 8-year-old down the road,” said Grant.

The family plans to stop buying Mountain Dew.

“Especially for my 13-year-old,” said Grant.

The family said managers at the store examined the rest of the soda bottles, but didn’t find any other irregularities.
