Honestly, you should be more worried about salmonella or e. coli.

Once on a cross country trip, I sat in my car and watched a gas station employee shine a hotdog display case with saliva before serving a customer. I've seen people puke in gas stations and then just stare at it as the employee behind the counter shrugs and mumbles something along the lines of "c'mon man, I barely make minimum wage here, give me a break" before finally getting some flimsy paper towels to dab it up.

But really you don't even need all that to get sick. Drinking a slurpee, not to mention a mountain dew slurpee, is like willingly pouring sugar infused radioactive toxic waste into your body. Slurpees contain caffeine, sugar, artificial dyes linked to hyperactivity and aggression, and quillaia extract (which in high enough doses, will empty out your insides faster than a couple fiber one bars. Just think: hypervelocity projectile.).

Mountain Dew, on the other hand, contains enough acid to turn a mouse into jelly, so I think that one speaks for itself.

Ofc this all coming from a person who has willingly eaten gas station sushi and will eat the fermented garbage that is Hershey's chocolate out of desperation, because sugar addiction is real, and I'm a hopeless junkie.

Conclusion: Don't trust gas stations, slurpees are a gift from satan, and I'm one to talk.
