"Mountain Dew" is an old slang term for moonshine (bootleg whiskey)

Though the original Mountain Dew soft drink was non-alcoholic they certainly didn't mind the comparison to illicitly produced whiskey that you can make in a bathtub.

In fact, the original Mountain Dew advertisements featured a stereotypical hillbilly (cleverly named "Willy the Hillbilly") who drank Dew from moonshine jugs. And their old slogan promised that Mountain Dew will "tickle yore innards, cause there's a bang in every bottle". Obviously this was intended to draw a connection to moonshine.

Clownfish are transsexuals.

Clownfish live in a hierarchical society led by a dominant female. If this female were to die, she would be replaced by her mate. The male changes his sex and every other fish follows suit, moving up a rung on the social ladder. Clownfish also maintain a body mass 20% smaller than the fish that outranks it.

Tanned skin wasn't always perceived as attractive.

Tan is the new pale. In pre-industrial Western society, paleness was a sign of status. Those who were wealthy enough could afford spending life indoors and under fancy hats and parasols, rather than laboring in the fields under the bright sun.

Therefore, paleness was associated with an upper-class life of ease. However, the modern industrial period brought the advent of mass factory and mine labor, and by the 1920's tanned skin was now an indicator of wealth. In many areas of the world that are still pre-industrial, pale skin is still considered a sign of beauty.
