I HAVE HAD ALL THE MOUNTAIN DEWS

So far Baja Blast pwns all. Code Red is for sucks.

Doesn't matter. He's temporarily fucked when they release the seventh one.

Interestingly, I've been told that Mountain Dew was the last of the big brand sodas to make the switch from sugar to HFCS (aka diabetes in a bottle). I did love it back in the day, but, yeah, it's kinda nauseating nowadays.

I came upon the original elephant urine version in my childhood, as it was widely available, thought at the time I seem to recall preferring Mello Yello. That is no longer the case.

When I was 22 and in the military, I was ordered to travel from Monterey, CA, to San Angelo, TX, and I did this over a weekend, with the help of a cohort in a separate vehicle and many bottles of Mountain Dew: Code Red. Many times that summer and in the following months I would hear another of my colleagues, an enlistee from Guam, quote a line from "A Few Good Men" in my presence, trying to be funny.

When I was 25 and still in the military, living in a basement apartment in Maryland, I purchased two bottles of Moutain Dew LiveWire and started this thread.

Last weekend, we went to Taco Bell to get lunch in the middle of a road trip to North Carolina, and I acquired a mssive plastic cup of Mountain Dew Baja Blast. It hit the spot.

When I was 25 or 26 I discovered the original Mountain Dew Pitch Black in the cafeteria beverage coolers of the J. Edgar Hoover building. Now, almost a year later, I have found the sequel in almost exactly the same place, about 5 rows down and to the left just a bit.

Saga of sagas! Glad I asked.

Nonsense! Carry on, sir.

(This is mostly true.)

perhaps we should toast with it at the WEDDING

(And yes, if Code Red was the color of Baja Blast I would have much less of a problem with it.)

And people here complain about me. Sheesh. But he's actually not too far from truth. I had some last week because some eejit put it in the vending machine slot at work where Wild Cherry Pepsi was supposed to be, and it was, well, icky indeed.

I just had Mountain Dew Ice, a clear variety of dew:

It was good, it kinda tasted like sierra mist but better.

The "Holiday Blend" was good

A thread of renown:

I just walked in on my friends having a Mountain Dew tasting party and I thought they were joking but they've definitely tasted 15 kinds so far and they have 27 flavors altogether. one friend says: "this is worse than the worst SAW movie"

That's gotta go against the "no advertising to minors" rule.

this is just four loko isn't it

I think the word "icky" was pre-emptively coined for the flavor of Code Red, which could be charitably described as "the aftertaste in a downtrodden prostitute's mouth after eating an entire package of Luden's cough drops in a vain attempt to drown the taste of unwashed cock".

'Zero sugar' doesn't sound fun to me... it'll probably have aspartame or something gross like that.

Those look excellent

Yes buuuuuut have you had this Mountain Dew

I was tempted to wrack my brain in pursuit of the most disgusting mashup of various PepsiCo. products I could think of but I guarantee that PepsiCo. has already beat me to the punch somewhere along the line. I think maybe like a modified Arnold Palmer that's like half lemon Lipton and half ground up Funyuns is the only thing they have yet to try.

hmm, a hot cold drink...could be interesting

I'd certainly take Flaming Hot Mountain Drew over Cool Ranch Mountain Dew.

that little demon lighting the hills on fire is not gonna fly here in the west

missed opportunity in thread title, should be MOUNTAINS DEW

Throw some flamin' hot cheetos in there and call it a boba

A road game my old band came up with driving back from shows was to try to top each other coming up with a more one up ridiculous combination of 3 things out of truck stop/convenience store. Usually a combination of food item, drink and then wild card.

Like I went into the Redimart and got me a Code Red Mt. Dew, a package of Ho Ho's and a bag of Spicy Corn Nuts.

One might reply with - I went into the Love's truck stop and got me a hot pickle in a bag, a pack of Cinnamon Dentyne and a King Cobra Malt Liquor.

Fun for the whole family or doom band roadtrip...

i've preemptively named every mountain dew-based cocktail. please note I've only made like 3 of these combinations pic.twitter.com/GbaGQ8novD

Need tombot to have all the mountain dews cocktails and report back

“Deaths Dynamic Grog “
DDS going mainstream huh

I've never made a Mtn Dew based cocktail, but recently tried a Gatorade Gimlet and it was pretty darn good

not sure how it escaped comment, but the so-called Hard Mountain Dew not only has no sugar, it also has zero caffeine
a couple of them accurately present a MD-like flavor, the rest totally miss

the cursed images thread is leaking (a brown viscous fruitcake-scented fluid)

ooft

Hmmm, what is this. Summertime packaging, making the logo look like a beachball? Maybe it's iced tea-flavored Pepsi? Not my thing, but ...

Wait. Easter's coming up. Nooooooo, it can't --- nooooooo.

your post says oh no but your tummy says, actually it says oh no too

i shant be trying that one but in my mind it is sickly sweet even moreso than pepsi already is

Peeps essence

I'd rather eat a Pepsi marshmallow than whatever that is.

they needed to call this peepsi and i am furious that they did not

i kinda want to try the fruit cake one

dew + rum + citron, top it off with a candied cherry, watch as your pancreas busts out of your gut and tumbles gibbering into the night 🍹

i like the cut of your jib

-bering pancreas <3

That guy’s poor heart

i'd be more impressed if he'd smooth-poured the dews so they were still fizzy tho
