Man Changes His Name to Mountain Dew Energy

Student Dan Grey is so obsessed by the taste of his favorite drink that he's changed his name to it – now calling himself Mountain Dew Energy. Mountain, formerly known as Dan Grey changed his name by deed poll this week to win points from the Mountain Dew fan club. If he accumulates enough, he could pick up prizes like a six-month supply of the beverage.

The 21-year-old’s family isn't too pleased but the brand’s owner, PepsiCo, is unsurprisingly so impressed it has offered to pay his £33 deed poll bill. "I’m happy I've done it but some people think it’s a bit strange."

He added: "My parents have started questioning it and my girlfriend isn’t too chuffed – they think it’s bordering on an obsession – but it’s got a unique flavour."
