I HAVE HAD ALL THE MOUNTAIN DEWS

Diet Mountain Dew is really good for a diet drink, but I noticed this week that it's really markedly different from its sugary sibling -- the way Diet Coke isn't Diet Coca-Cola so much as "a diet cola brought to you by the Coca-Cola Corporation."

Pleasant Plains: I haven't had Australian quote-unquote lemonade, but the San Pellegrino Limonata (which the supermarkets here sell not in the soda aisle but in the organic goods cul-de-sac) has the kind of acidity and lemon flavor that it sounds like you're shooting for, if you were trying lemon juice and club soda. Pricy, about like Orangina, but much less pricy than ordering online.

I was on an airplane recently, trying to stay awake, and I asked the stewardess for a Mountain Dew or Mello Yello or something. She gave me a Sierra Mist, a drink that is caffine-free. Great.

(I would've asked for coffee, but it was already pretty warm in that flying tube.)

Quoth Mojo Nixon, on his satellite radio show (which I had the good fortune to hear in a friend's car last week):

"PEOPLE GOTTA START DRINKING LESS WATER AND MORE BOOZE AND MOUNTAIN DEW."

Words to live by.

is 'en i see kay' nickalicious, because he is the only ilxor who would listen to mojo nixon on the radio.

(half kidding!!!)

Uh oh. Cue identity crisis.

OMG BAJA BLAST IS SO GROSS THAT ITS AMAZINGLY GOOD I LOVE IT IT LOOKS LIKE SCOPE I DRINK IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

I always get it when I'm dining in at Taco Bell. Which is pretty fucking often.

fuk those bottles

back when they put sugar in soft drinks, Mountain Dew had the most - ELEVEN TEASPOONS!!! in a 12-ounce can.

I am old. these new flavors confuse me.

MAN alive I miss Pitch Black. Grape soda + Mtn Dew corn syrup caffeine rollercoaster + some kid's conception of an "evil potion" = SO GREAT.

I need to get back to my game here

ELEVEN TEASPOONS!!!

That's a little less than I would've thought. Eleven tablespoons, sure.

Also this new orange one:

Which is smoother than the other orange, which always tore the insides of my mouth out.

Bah no that one I just tries, it tastes like a tangerine peel that was left rotting in some regular dew. They do know their target audience, tho; new flavor is called GAMER FUEL:

"This is the first time we've created a beverage for an entertainment property, in fact, we believe this the first time a soft drink has been created specifically for a video game," said Frank Cooper, VP of marketing for Mountain Dew. "Microsoft's Halo 3 is more than just a video game, it's become a cultural phenomenon that deserves its own special Mountain Dew extension."

next up on "cultural phenomenons that deserve their own special mountain dew extensions"

You can only drink the Herzog dew during golden hour.

GAME FUEL tastes like cherry Smarties

I WENT TO TACO BELL BECAUSE OF THIS THREAD. I SPENT $2. 'BAJA BLAST' SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED 'BURRITO ABURRIDO.' THANKS A LOT ASSHOLES.

Nerd Fuel

the title of this thread alone just makes me happy
i do not even care either way re: mtn dew
by which i mean, con't

yes, i have had this Werner Herzog Mountain Dew you speak of.
it tastes like a a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness.

American "soda" was not nearly as good as I was expecting to be.

For a start, root beer sux ass.

can we now imagine the color and taste of Mountain Dew Blog Fuel

LIES

can we now imagine the color and taste of Mountain Dew Blog Fuel

they take the leftover flavoring from everything else and dump it in, so the flavor is always in flux. send PepsiCo a sample of something that doesn't taste awful, and YOU could have found the next official Mountain Dew variety

That would be hard to fit on a can, tho

haha, I never saw this thread, I used to be almost as obsessed with Mountain Dew variations at Tombot. I think I've had all those flavors except Pitch Black II. I'm actually a little jealous.

ah i love this thread

was thinking about it last sunday b/c i had a hangover and so wanted dr pepper (which i know is not mtn dew) and accidentally grabbed a diet dr pepper CHOCOLATE-CHERRY flavour.
first of all, how is this even a flavour of dr pepper that exists in the world. and second of all, could it be more awful. but hangovers do weird things to a person and i ended up drinking the whole thing, mostly of out confused curiosity. it kind of got better near the end.

SURGE! This girl in my town won a Surge car, it was weird. Like this ten year old beat up fucking BOAT, but painted lime green with a big ass Surge logo. AWESOME.

What was that Mountain Dew flavor specific to some Xbox FPS or whatever? Was it called Game Fuel or something?
