So the rest of you wouldn't have to. Since Game Fuel is once again gone, instead of leaving a highly caffeinated and probably-bad-for-you hole in our lives the people at Pepsi have already launched a new "Dewmocracy" push with 3 new flavors. Those who remember the last time they did this (i.e. right after the Halo 3 game fuel thing was done) remember that there were 3 flavors, all of which kind of tasted like generic fruity sweetness. Of those three, Voltage (the one that won) probably had the most distinct flavor and, in my opinion, tasted the best. There was also that weird diet purple flavor that lasted like 3 months and tasted bad, and it took me a second to remember that it even existed.
Today however, I don't come to you to talk about old flavors (Pitch Black 2 was really good. That is all) but to tell you all that you probably don't have to change your soda consuming habits any time soon. Let's go through each one by one, shall we?
Mountain Dew White Out
Billed as "smooth citrus". In reality, White Out kind of tastes like piss. No, that isn't exactly descriptive so I will say that it tastes like Vault (i.e. Coke's attempt at making a Mtn Dew equivalent.). If you have ever tasted Vault then you know that it fails to be either distinctive or delicious, and ends up just tasting like generic lemon/lime (i.e. Squirt gone bad). Sadly, as of this bloggering it is currently in the lead, which I find disappointing.Mountain Dew Typhoon
Having been in an actual Typhoon , I can assure you that this beverage isn't hurricane flavored. It's billed as "Tropical", which is secret code for "Fruit Punch". There's not much more to say then that. You have probably tasted some facet of Typhoon before, and I thought it was ok, if somewhat indestinctive.Mountain Dew Distortion
First of all, I think that this soda having the exact same color as regular dew (which also falls under my personal designation of "piss") is a bad, bad idea. If it was like, Emerald Green or something then that would help a ton, because I didn't realize that it was an actual separate flavor at first. But whatever. Billed as "Lime Blasted", Distortion is basically the bastard child of regular Mountain Dew and Sprite/7up/Sierra Mist, which works, oddly enough. The flavor is somewhat less mild than the usual "HEY MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU LIKE HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP?" flavor I get from this kind of soda. It's good, and tastes like artificial lime flavoring, which I approve. Your milage may vary however, as several other kids in my school stated that they disliked it.In conclusion, I'm really not sure why I did this blog anyways, but if you are a depraved individual who can't get by on coke alone, then the DEWmocracy trio probably won't help. I like Distortion the best, but think that it has no chance in hell of winning the poll, so I will probably stockpile a few in a corner or something and that will be that.
