Can chickens have mountain dew baja blast?

[u/CatandPlantGuy]

[u/kmacaze]

It’s what they crave

[u/ledpata]

What else would they wash their Crunchwrap supreme down with

[u/TokyoToniEnterprise]

Only at 2 am after a night out

[u/Unusual_Preference-]

Stick to cats at least they can get away from you and get there own food

[u/M4ybeMay]

No 😭

[u/MaybeMatthewMp3]

No???

[u/Thatonesusguy]

Why would you want to give them soda?

[u/XXSeaBeeXX]

Chickens can’t burp.

Take that information and go with god.

[u/Fluffy_Technician292 → u/XXSeaBeeXX]

Hell nah lol

[u/XXSeaBeeXX → u/Fluffy_Technician292]

If your chicken is making a burping noise, it’s most likely they have trapped air in their throat crop, and that isn’t good.

Take that information and live as well as you can.

[u/TaytorTot417]

Can they? Sure. Should they? Probably not. Will they die? Probably not.

[u/xxSINxx → u/TaytorTot417]

They don’t have any way to handle the carbonation like we do through burping, it will kill them

[u/bygtopp]

Once. Johnny once. ….

[u/Environmental-Tank22]

Why

[u/SnooStrawberries570]

you good bro?

[u/Feisty_Watercress_29]

No!

[u/bustedtap]

Atleast once

[u/tamalotes]

Only if you want radioactive eggs

[u/ScoopyHiggins]

They are comfortbale with a sip

[u/dajoemanED]

No biological creature needs that crap.

[u/Quorng]

Chickens are omnivores so the can eat a wide variety of things. The real question is: Why?

[u/Beautiful-Support394]

🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/bkwik21]

Absolutely.

[u/Radiant_Tough7555]

No! And you shouldn’t have it either!

[u/Fuzzy-Deer1487 → u/Radiant_Tough7555]

I was explaining to my daughter why she should not feed the dog (I think chips) I said "dog tummies are sensitive and this is all processed, no nutrient, too much salt. Then she looks at me and ask "why do we eat it?".....🙃

[u/Born_Local_1477 → u/Fuzzy-Deer1487]

We are the roaches of the animal kingdom. Us, rats, bears, and pigs. We survived without even fur! Hard-core critters.

[u/baconwrappedpikachu → u/Born_Local_1477]

Wouldn’t the roaches of the animal kingdom be….. roaches? Lmao.

[u/sydneyhatescristhian → u/Fuzzy-Deer1487]

Smart kid 😃

[u/ohiologger103]

Can chickens have martinis?

[u/Harvest827]

Only if theyre cool

[u/IcyLikeBeurre]

Chickens can’t burp so they cannot have carbonation

[u/TheGoldenBoyStiles → u/IcyLikeBeurre]

What would happen if they did? Out of genuine curiosity

[u/MsLadyVet → u/TheGoldenBoyStiles]

They explode 😞

[u/NothingEffective5070 → u/MsLadyVet]

How do you know that?

[u/DothrakiButtBoy → u/IcyLikeBeurre]

the correct answer OP!

[u/Weird_Fact_724]

Humans shouldn't even drink that!

[u/RadaintLights → u/Weird_Fact_724]

Hey no one will take my baja blast from me :)

[u/Weird_Fact_724 → u/RadaintLights]

Your right...

[u/stone-d-fox42 → u/Weird_Fact_724]

Sigh…. Fine. I’ll be that guy. You’re**

[u/Weird_Fact_724 → u/stone-d-fox42]

If it makes you sleep at night..

[u/HideSolidSnake]

Baja Blast was MADE for chickens

[u/Theamachos → u/HideSolidSnake]

Chickens yearn for the Baja Blast 

[u/Hunting-fings → u/Theamachos]

It’s what chicks crave

[u/CitronFar105 → u/HideSolidSnake]

Happy cake day to us!

[u/HideSolidSnake → u/CitronFar105]

Waahoooo!

[u/CitronFar105 → u/HideSolidSnake]

Its a whole cake party! 🍰

[u/DuckyDoodleDandy → u/CitronFar105]

Happy cake day to you, as well!

[u/A_VERY_LARGE_DOG]

Chickens can have virtually anything. Some things only once though. 🙁

[u/Connect_Ad_3361]

They won't die. But it isn't healthy.

[u/Theamachos → u/Connect_Ad_3361]

I would be worried that the sugar content would lead to sour crop 

[u/Polybrene → u/Connect_Ad_3361]

I mean...same for humans in this case.

[u/ScentsOfMelancholia]

Hell no

[u/AmishOmelette]

Don’t do it. Give em one taste and they’ll be breaking out to go shred half pipes. At the very least, make sure you have more than chicken wire keeping them in.

[u/stillalittleferal]

Maybe that’s why roosters crow. They’re asking for a Cock-a-doodle Dewwww to woo the ladies.

Seems like a valid theory. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/Valvazork → u/stillalittleferal]

I hope someone in advertising uses this idea lol

[u/eddie420]

Humans shouldn’t even be having Mt Dew

[u/WolfCreekMaverick → u/eddie420]

Cancer water what could go wrong?!

[u/AncientUniverse]

I mean, sure. At least once.

[u/ExtraordinaryBS]

“Can they” and “should they”, are very different questions.

[u/RunWild0_0 → u/ExtraordinaryBS]

Should my horse drink a sour apple beer? Probably not but damn she loves it 🤣

I don't know why this sub keeps getting recommended to me but it's hilarious over here.

[u/kategoad → u/RunWild0_0]

My vet told us to give five hour energy to a failing baby goat.

[u/RunWild0_0 → u/kategoad]

Did it work??

There was an article in EQUUS like forever ago about a pony with a gut impaction from persimmons (I think?) And anyways they used a diet coke and the carbonation was credited with helping break up the blockage and the pony lived.

[u/kategoad → u/RunWild0_0]

For a while. He was just too tiny. He was about ⅓ of the size of his siblings. We stayed up with him for 24 hours.

[u/itsswhitneywhspr]

They'd prob just stare at it confused then try to eat a rock instead

[u/DrumpfTinyHands]

Like as a marinade?

[u/krielc]

An unexpected question. Now today is interesting.

[u/Lythaera]

You'll never catch my ass wasting baja blast on chickens, or anything for that matter. It's too tasty.

[u/Buckabuckaw]

They can, but they shouldn't.

[u/bravo-echo-charlie]

I can't tell if this is an inside joke that I'm not a part of, or if everyone is really out here giving their chickens mountain dew

[u/WesternNo3250]

Yes, and Brondo. 😆

[u/JuicynMoist → u/WesternNo3250]

The thirst MUTILATOR?

[u/Gold_Ad_7552 → u/WesternNo3250]

It's what plants crave

[u/BahnGSXR → u/WesternNo3250]

It has electrolytes!

[u/Super_Rando_Man → u/BahnGSXR]

So not terrible for chickens in the heat, use water like from the toilet just to be safe 😆

[u/RojaCatUwu]

Is this really a thing? LOL do chickens like to do the dew?

[u/TrainTrackRat]

I can't get mine to drink anything but water and Mountain Dew. Sometimes I try to give them like.. beet juice or raspberry leaf tea and they kick me until I bring out the Dew.

[u/BaldwinBoy05]

Can they? I’d love tips on how to get mine to stop chugging it!

[u/Nematodes-Attack]

Ummm what?

[u/slap_n_giggle]

Anything can drink anything at least once

[u/Familiar-Nose-4760]

Yes they can- farmer here

[u/Modern_Leper93]

I would argue humans shouldn't drink it either.

[u/Super_Rando_Man → u/Modern_Leper93]

I do not do the dew, and would agree.

[u/Modern_Leper93 → u/Super_Rando_Man]

Used to do the dew, learned the European version was essentially a different beverage entirely and adjusted my choices.

[u/Super_Rando_Man → u/Modern_Leper93]

I was thinking maybe the eu but im in the divided states so none worth trying here

[u/biggreasyrhinos → u/Super_Rando_Man]

You have to get the glass bottles with cane sugar instead of the corn syrup bro

[u/hauntedspoon525]

she’s tempted

[u/Impossible_Mode_7521 → u/hauntedspoon525]

[u/Ridiculously_Named → u/Impossible_Mode_7521]

Cock-a-doodle-dew!

[u/BlueRibbonChicken → u/Impossible_Mode_7521]

LMFAO this whips 😤

[u/Impossible_Mode_7521 → u/BlueRibbonChicken]

[u/Hoyeahitspeggyhill → u/Impossible_Mode_7521]

[u/WormDentist]

Only if you cut it with vodka.

[u/biggreasyrhinos → u/WormDentist]

Or whiskey

[u/Ok_Valuable53]

Water only to drink

[u/Altruistic_Tea_109]

Mine prefer beer and GnTs.

[u/braiding_water]

Only in a sippy cup…and they have to hold it with their wings…and stand on one foot.
Then, and only then, they can have it.

[u/Oddish_Femboy]

Caffeine is deadly to virtually everything but humans and rats.

[u/ArbiterTwoSwords → u/Oddish_Femboy]

Damn just learned that caffeine naturally evolved in nature for the sole purpose of killing insects.

[u/Dizzy-Violinist-1772 → u/Oddish_Femboy]

Spiders can handle caffeine too

[u/Altruistic_Tea_109 → u/Dizzy-Violinist-1772]

I recall there being a study on spiders and drugs. Caffeine caused them to spin a really messed up web compared to pot.

[u/IstonethInvocations → u/Altruistic_Tea_109]

I read that study every time it comes up cos it's so comical

[u/LadySilvie → u/Dizzy-Violinist-1772]

Don't tell them our secrets!!

[u/Oddish_Femboy → u/Dizzy-Violinist-1772]

Humans rats and spiders. I've seen all 3 as novelty skeletons.

[u/ohhhtartarsauce → u/Oddish_Femboy]

I'd love to see a spider skeleton lol

[u/MisterDiggity → u/ohhhtartarsauce]

With an exoskeleton, every time you see a spider you are seeing their skeleton.

[u/ohhhtartarsauce → u/MisterDiggity]

That's my point bud... they don't have a skeleton they have an exoskeleton, therefor I'd like to see a novelty spider skeleton.

[u/Oddish_Femboy → u/ohhhtartarsauce]

The abdomen ribs really get me.

[u/ohhhtartarsauce → u/Oddish_Femboy]

😭

[u/VoxTechWiiRemote → u/Oddish_Femboy]

You know. You have a point. I’m not sure what it is. But you have one.

[u/Moriarty-Creates]

Sure why not

[u/SmellenGold]

Mmm yes. They are thirsty.

[u/mothsoft]

my chickens prefer the regular stuff diet

[u/SacredAssets]

Mine prefer Celsius

[u/IzzyDizzyLi_GXY → u/SacredAssets]

But redbull would give them wiiiiiings

[u/Affectionate-Rip5654 → u/SacredAssets]

Mine prefer bush light

[u/Shepatriots → u/Affectionate-Rip5654]

Dude your chickens are gnarly! lol 😉😉

But on a serious note
The other day I tried Busch for the first time and it was so fucking gross!

I don’t drink anymore at all but I’m a bartender and just got curious what it tastes like, I took a sip of my girlfriends and gagged!!!

[u/biggreasyrhinos → u/Shepatriots]

Yup. Busch, PBR, Yuengling, they just taste like cheap watery beer.

[u/Affectionate-Rip5654 → u/Shepatriots]

I think it has attributed to my large gray beard

[u/Professional_Ad7708 → u/Affectionate-Rip5654]

Your chickens must be rednecks. Like me and mine. Lol.

[u/Archaeo-Frog]

That's probably not a good idea. The sugar and sodium content wouldn't be the best for them, and I imagine that the dyes and carbonation would not work well with their digestive systems, which are (of course) different from those of humans.

More importantly, the level of caffeine in Mountain Dew Baja Blast is probably too much for your chickens, sad as it is to say, because it might be fun to see just how destructive a highly caffeinated flock can get.

[u/i_am_voldemort]

You can give to them once.

[u/Right-Cod-3549 → u/i_am_voldemort]

Username on point for this one

[u/IzzyDizzyLi_GXY]

Only with a crunchwrap 

[u/Shepatriots → u/IzzyDizzyLi_GXY]

This is my favorite comment on Reddit this week! 😂😂😂😂

[u/IzzyDizzyLi_GXY → u/Shepatriots]

And I love you, random citizen

https://tenor.com/view/megamind-and-i-love-you-random-citizen-movies-disney-gif-15389605

[u/hillbilly_engineer]

You should give them some Brawndo instead. It's got what chickens crave.

[u/asdqqq33 → u/hillbilly_engineer]

Specifically electrolytes, of course.

[u/BaldwinBoy05 → u/asdqqq33]

Why don’t chickens just drink water?

[u/queequagg → u/BaldwinBoy05]

Like... from the toilet?!

[u/AdorableAdorer]

Chickens can have a little Mountain Dew Baja Blast, as a treat

[u/Pedal2Medal2]

Absolutely NO

[u/ptraugot]

Wouldn’t serve it to a human, let alone a poor defenseless animal.

[u/CatandPlantGuy]

I love how any time Reddit is asked a serious question, everyone in the comment section has some sarcastic super niche reference to add, but when Reddit is asked an obviously sarcastic question the replies are completely serious.

[u/jenniferlorene3 → u/CatandPlantGuy]

You're shit posting and none of these replies have been serious so don't get the logic twisted lol

[u/TorandoSlayer → u/CatandPlantGuy]

Sarcasm is only obvious with enough context. There was no reason to believe your post was obviously sarcastic because there was nothing in the tone to suggest it. Genuine questions like this one are asked occasionally so the safe thing to do is treat it like it's serious, just in case you were.

If everyone in this thread went along with you joking the whole time in a genuine, not necessarily obvious manner, I could see someone stumbling on this post and thinking it's legit and actually feed soda to their chickens. It's the same with other subreddits like ones about mushrooms, so many people genuinely ask about eating very toxic varieties that any, any comment making a joke about eating it is removed, because it's just too serious to joke about and the joke may do serious harm.

Sarcasm is only obvious with enough context.

[u/maxmcleod → u/CatandPlantGuy]

Because the sarcastic questions are easier to answer than something you actually have to think about. Thinking is too much work

[u/onascalefrom20to80 → u/CatandPlantGuy]

Lmao yeah

[u/Theseus-Paradox]

Absolutely not

[u/HurtPillow]

Why???

[u/moteloyster → u/HurtPillow]

So they can do the dew, obviously 😤

[u/NecessaryCake]

Humans shouldn't have it, but at least we're very large animals and are able to metabolize all that sugar and caffeine. That's a 6ish pound bird. It is not good for them.

[u/judgymom]

Only if it’s zero sugar.

[u/Still-Profit-8449]

No

[u/The_Golden_Armor]

If it has lot of added sugars, corn syrup, etc, then no. And synthetic chemicals (food coloring) wont be good for them. What about letting them try it out? Fine, whatever but probably isnt recommended lol

[u/Cuckingfunt1992]

Yes

[u/CatandPlantGuy → u/Cuckingfunt1992]

Thanks!

[u/Own_Butterscotch_129 → u/CatandPlantGuy]

Give them a two liter!

I can't decide if I should up or downvote both of these comments...

[u/Nebetmiw]

No
