Forrest Gump - Mountain Dew
When Forrest and Lt. Dan are on the shrimp boat trying to catch shrimp at one time they pull up a toilet seat and other things and a Mountain Dew can. The only problem with that was that Mountain Dew wasn't even around at that time. It may have been Mello Yello but i'm pretty sure it was Mountain Dew

Mountain Dew was around at that time. In fact Mountain Dew was running radio commercials In '59 or '60. "Yahoo Mountain. Dew...(ricochet gunshot sfx) was the hook line in them. I remember hearing them on the radio when I was still in elementary school.

To agree with a few others, it was a Mellow-Yellow can. Not Mountain Dew. Haven't you ever been to Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company (It's Forest Gump's resturant for those who haven't been there-by the way, there is a chain of them all over the country)? They'll tell you the same thing.

Mountain Dew was invented in the 1940's and franchised in 1954. The current formula was developed in 1958. Mello yellow was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1979 (after the Viet Nam War) inorder to compete with Mountain Dew. Therefore the slip is valid considering the can was Mello Yellow.

Wasn't Mountain Dew around in the 70's? The time period seemed to be in the late 70's. I could be wrong though.

Umm, Vietnam didn't end until 1975 and these scenes take place after Vietnam. Mountain Dew was definitely around by the mid-late 70s

This comment is for lbedal. The Vietnam War ended before 1975. Just thought I should let you know.

Brendan, Vietnam basically started easily around 1969. Believe me, my father was almost drafted into Vietnam.

It was a mello yellow can. The error , or slp-up is that melleow yellow wasn't introduced untill 1979. Hurricane Carmen hit the louisiana coast in 1974.
