I rarely drink soda, but I have do have a habit of picking up random flavors of Mountain Dew

first saw these last year so decided to pick them up since I love anything watermelon:

was actually very tasty

this past Christmas I noticed these:

also very good. if you like ginger ale, you'll probably dig it

finally, last week I ran into this...yes...flamin' hot Mountain Dew.

I was completely expecting it to be horrible. to my surprise, it's actually very good. it pairs really nice with Mexican food, which I cook a lot of during the summer.

are you a fan of Mountain Dew?

Mountain Dew is diabetes in a can as it is and you disgust me for drinking it, and that’s before I learned about gingerbread flavour.

don't knock the gingerbread flavored one until you try it

 

[BadBurger]

They're becoming the Arizona Iced Tea of sodas.

The only Mountain Dew that I like are the Original and Red versions. I hear there is a Real Sugar version somewhere out in the wild that I need to get my hands on at some point.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

Beyond the fact that mountain dew is syrupy, half flat bullshit, they go and make a gingerbread flavor? You'd figure a company would want to improve its products, not make them shittier than they already are.

"Dew with a blast of artificial gingerbread flavor"

 

[TheInfamousKira]

If "it," refers to the children because of the diabeetus, then I agree.

 

[Catphish]

It does a body good.

 

[lem0n]

Mountain Dew fucking slaps. There's a new Circle K exclusive called Purple Thunder that is incredible

 

[M1chl]

Don't drink this shit, it has shitton of Niacin vitamin, which can and will fuck up your liver. It's doing damage comparable to same amount of ~20% alcohol.

I am expert on this field, trust me. And I've been educated, but if you need some article:

Niacin - LiverTox - NCBI Bookshelf (nih.gov)

 

[ReBurn]

I wish they made more flavors without sugar. I really would like to try them. I can't justify that many of my daily calories going into a soft drink.

Too much of any vitamin can poison you. If you're drinking enough of this to die of niacin poisoning you're likely going to die of an obesity related heart attack before you die from liver failure.

Not true, depends on how much you drink and I know people who are drinking this daily few cans and some of them have problems. But okay, just saying, everyone can use the knowledge I presented like they want to.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I want them to bring back the citrus cherry game fuel halo 3 flavor. My favorite mountain dew by far. they have it in some markets. They have this flavor in my market:

Tastes like apple jolly ranchers.

 

[Esca]

I rarely drink soda but I do like the dew when I do

If niacin poisining from soft drinks was a problem we'd be hearing from more than you about a couple of your friends and your observation of their problems. If they're drinking those kickstart energy drinks, sure. One of those has about 80% of the recommended daily intake of niacin. But normal soft drinks aren't going to give you niacin poisoning.

Wait, this isn't energy drink? We don't have Mountain Dew here, so I might fucked up for some other brand...

Mountain Dew is bizarre it's the one soda where its spin offs are all better than the original

Major Melon was kind of mediocre but I want to try that gingerbread one.

an expert who doesn't even realize that the drinks in this thread don't contain niacin?

Nah I only expert on Energy drinks and basically all of them have niacin in large doses, I fucked up, because I thought this is also energy drink, so never mind. My point about actually energy drink still stands.

This looks perfect for that warm afternoon hike

I wish mountain dew came out with the green apple flavor, and went with the name gushing granny.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

We dont have mountain dew

 

[Kilau]

I've never had a Mt. Dew because when I was a kid my mom told me the "dew" was snot people spit into the cans.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

I believe it. Mountain Dew probably pairs well with these out-there flavors because it tastes like nothing natural on this green Earth. When you're already starting from a base as alien as the Dew, those unexpected combos can blend well, I bet.

[bronk]

Lately? Always has son. Mtn Dew into my fucking veins.

 

[Cohetedor]

It's called mountain dew throwback in the u.s., taste is about the same but has a different mouth feel without all the corn syrup.

 

[lachesis]

I was more of Mello Yello guy when I lived in midwest back in ealry 90s...
Can't find them here in NJ.

I don't really get the dew though. Once in maybe 5 years I drink the dew, but always come away not so impressed...
but I will pick one up tomorrow when I go to groceries & test my taste bud again!

You’re absolutely correct. I don’t know if it’s possible to describe the way Mountain Dew tastes.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Bruh.. fuck Mountain Dew. That shit has like 73Gs of Sugar. GRAMS Holy Mother of Guacamole. That shit can possibly be farmed for sugar, itself.

They have Mellow Yellow here in California, but I am thinking it's only at Fairplex in Pomona, where they have all the Drag Races n shit. I used to work there, and it was my first time tasting it. Wasn't bad. Reminded me of a piss colored sprite, with a bit more tang or zest to it.

 

[Ribi]

nothing tops baja blast

 

[yet_another_alt]

wish it wasn't kfc exclusive

 

[haxan7]

I’d be drinking the hell out of Mountain Dew if I drank soda.

 

[Craig of War]

It gone to kill you if you drink that shit lol

 

[Droxcy]

Voltage, The Original Game Fuel & Baja Blast they really do have solid flavors. Wish they'd bring back the Game Fuel it was unmatched.

 

[GymWolf]

Yeah i'm sure that all that sugar killed a tons of americans alright...

 

[The Cockatrice]

I usually drink the sugar free versions, when possible

Thats worse because they use some fucked up chemicals to sweeten it. If you're gonna drink cancer in a can at least drink the sugar ones.

 

[Ikutachi]

It's too diabetic. I'd like it if there's sugar-free Voltage.

Mountain Dew is really bad, and tastes like sugar water. I miss Surge.
