![]() I'm also in the camp that I can't believe I used to drink entire two liter bottles of Mtn Dew, and sometimes more than one. I used to live near an independent liquor and convenience store that always had that in stock, but it was only ever in refrigerated six packs, never singles or bottles in the cold case, which in hindsight may have been a vendor/market thing where Pepsi and Coca Cola provided their fridges and stocked them under contract but the store wasn't allowed to put other soft drinks in those cases. Posted by Kadin2048 at 4:22 PM on July 15 So my earliest memories of Mountain Dew are of drinking it in those odd red translucent plastic cups that used to be standard at Pizza Hut, often to soothe a burned tongue that I'd just cauterized by trying to eat the individual size pizza (always served at roughly the temperature of the surface of the sun) too quickly. I guess because Pizza Hut was owned by the same corporate parent for a while? And naturally because it was a weird thing, as a kid I always wanted it, and occasionally my parents relented and let me have a glass of it (if it wasn't too late at night, was usually the concern). grapefruit juice + Fresca).įor reasons I don't really understand, when I was a kid the only place to get Mountain Dew on tap (as opposed to in cans/bottles) was at Pizza Hut. Particularly if the juice is a potent flavor on its own (e.g. But, like, + (with optional alcohol) almost always yields something reasonably drinkable, often better than either one alone. Soda + juice combination beverages are great, and I will die on that hill. So much so that my wife mixes with actual orange juice and calls it a "Dew-mosa". I can't really even tell you what it tasted like. But for a minute, Jolt was the extra-caffeinated beverage of choice for Staying Up Much Too Late, be it for a LAN party or just wandering around the empty streets of West Hartford, Conn. I'm pretty sure Jolt Cola existed before Red Bull appeared, although it seems to have all but died out today. Posted by Mitheral at 10:50 AM on July 15 īefore the introduction of Red Bull, Mtn Dew was the most highly caffeinated stuff you could buy. I used to wonder if any made the transition to coffee and felt they'd be able to handle the buzz because of their history drinking Dew and then had their nervous system blown. I think I'm good for a while yet.īut, because Canada is swamped with American media, it used to be hilarious to see teenagers talking about the caffeine buzz they were getting off of 0% caffeine Dew. I checked because I was going to make the same comment with the word recently rather than a few years ago and I wanted to make sure I wasn't using recently to refer to an event that happened after some site members were born. That changed a few years ago, but before then it was this weird offshoot version. Alas it is unusual to find even the regular diet version on the shelf here I don't think I've ever seen zero sugar versions of the other flavours.įor the longest time, Mountain Dew in Canada was caffeine free. I've had to cut flavoured sugar water out of my diet (replaced with flavoured artificial sweetener water - what could possibly go wrong) but I really liked Mountain Dew and wish I could partake of the rainbow of flavours now available. posted by the primroses were over at 3:16 AM on July 15 I can only assume Kavanaugh is somewhat responsible. I’m not normally compelled to drink Mountain Dew Overdrive, which professes to have “a bold, charged citrus punch” flavor, and has a bear that looks like it’s an anti-vaxxer on the label. Wade? No, of course not.īut like, those fuckers didn’t help. Am I actually blaming my Mountain Dew escapades on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Sometimes, you need to be reminded that your body is still yours, and that you can do with it what you want, no matter what anyone else says. ![]() I’ve tried to find the logic in my actions, and as best I can tell, it’s this: sometimes, the world becomes a dark place, and you desperately need a distraction from all of it. I will admit that some of the reviews got a bit repetitive - how could they not, how are there (more than) 21 flavors of Mtn Dew? - but the funny parts of this are plentiful: (Easy pitch there for you taco bell haters!) Taco Bell's one fault is that it is a pepsi restaurant rather than coke. I had no idea it had so many location exclusive flavors, although as a Taco Bell devotee, I was aware of Baja Blast. ![]() I could not tell you what the flavor was if my life depended on it. We were on a weekend trip and stopped for gas, and lo! to his delight, the gas station had cases of it. My friend's husband really liked a certain flavor of Mtn Dew, and it became scarce in our area.
