Who invented Mountain Dew?

Mountain Dew was invented in 1940′s in Marion, Virginia (USA) by two brothers, Barney and Ally Hartman. It was originally invented to be a mixer drink with whiskey, and it had a very different formula to today's Mountain Dew. The current formula for Mountain Dew was invented by Bill Bridgforth in 1958. Mountain Dew was not very well known until it was purchased by PepsiCo Ltd in 1964. PepsiCo Ltd then marketed it throughout the USA (and eventually globally) and it became a hot selling product. Throughout the 1980's, 1990's and 2000's PepsiCo Ltd have brought out several varieties of Mountain Dew including Diet Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew Code Red, Mountain Dew Live Wire and AMP.
