HALSTAD, Minn. - A Mountain Dew bottle. A neon green-colored plastic bottled filled with 20 ounces of soda.
It’s sold in countless convenience stores across the nation, including the Cenex Station here in town.
This is what saved Payton Rufsvold’s life.
“I just got some sour Gummi Worms and some pop in case I got thirsty,” Rufsvold said. “I didn’t open it. No reason I didn’t open it.”
Rufsvold and his friend Alex Lee were invited to the house near Grandin, N.D., with the idea there’d be other people.
