God I remember when Surge just came out... It was all the rage. That is until there was a rumor saying the coloring agent Yellow 5 Had negative side effects on reproductive genitalia. i.e. it made your balls shrink... Then no one would touch the stuff. BTW - Mountain Dew also contains Yellow 5, but not to worry guys...
"Rumors began circulating about tartrazine in the 1990s regarding a link to its consumption and adverse effects on male potency, testicle and penis size and sperm count. There are no documented cases supporting the claim that tartrazine will shrink a man's penis or cause it to stop growing. No research has shown that Yellow-5 containing beverages will decrease sperm count either."
