40. Conclusion
Our survey paper is prepared with a little sampling so we
can not say that it is more rigors. We have chosen this
topic because of our interest about Mountain Dew.
Increased demand, economic development and changed
life style have resulted in a great increase in the change
the peoples mind and their demand for buying behavior.
Mountain dew consumption is still also increasing day by
day. In Bangladesh, population growth has been seen as
a major factor, but no one looks at the growth of drinking
is also increasing, which has increased tremendously
over the last thirty years. Moreover from the organization
point of view, this research will be valuable because the
organization will be able to know about the responses of
the customers.
