Mountain Dew: Dark Berry Bash

Nick Momrik1 Comment

I’ve never heard of this one and that’s because it’s an Applebee’s franchise exclusive fountain soda. Rightly so, because they shouldn’t be trying to sell this anywhere. Maybe it was a bad mix at this particular restaurant, because the aftertaste really stood out; it was really strong and very artificial flavoring. A search says it’s “blending blue raspberry and blackberry with Mountain Dew’s citrus base, similar to Voltage but with darker berry notes.” Voltage is one of the rare flavors I’ll buy at the store and Dark Berry Bash tastes nothing like it. I can only give it a 2/10 and it was so bad I’m not sure I’d try it again to find out if I got a bad batch.

Mtn Dew: Trolli

This Trolli flavor is an exclusive to Walmart. It’s a cherry lemon flavor.

Inspired by the iconic Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers gummi candy, this limited-time Mountain Dew flavor delivers a fizzy sweet-and-sour combination with zero sugar.

I don’t remember seeing a new flavor that only came in the zero sugar variety. It’s an interesting choice for one based on a very sugary candy!

This is one of the worst flavors I’ve tried in a long time. It has a really bad fake aftertaste, since they had to add something with it not having any sugar and only 15 calories. Giving it 2/10 might even be too high.

Mtn Dew: Baja Midnight

Nick Momrik2 Comments

I finally picked up a cup of the new Mountain Dew flavor, exclusive to Taco Bell. It’s called Baja Midnight and it very good. I think it might be my favorite Baja variant.

Crafted to satisfy the thirst of a new generation, the drink blends passion fruit flavor with the iconic tropical lime taste of MOUNTAIN DEW BAJA BLAST—available exclusively at Taco Bell restaurants.

When I took my first drink I thought it was a berry flavor with a hint of something else, so the passion fruit makes a lot of sense. I’d definitely drink this again. I give it a 9/10.

Mtn Dew: Dragon Fruit

This Dragon Fruit flavor is exclusive to Walmart, which I just don’t understand. Why not sell it everywhere? After the first or second swing, it was a no for me. Then I got the taste for it and actually enjoyed it. I don’t think I’ve ever ate dragon fruit, so I’m not sure how to explain the flavor. It’s decent though, so I’ll give it a 6.5/10.

Mtn Dew: Mango Rush

This is special release, only Little Caesars, which a friend picked up for me. I was really curious what the “mango sweet heat flavor” would taste like. The Baja Laguna Lemonade had a “mango lemonade flavor” and it was pretty meh.

When I took a drink, my first thought was, “This is terrible!” I think it may just have been the shock of such a different flavor. It’s actually pretty decent. Fruity with a touch of heat. I’ll say it’s a 7/10.

Mtn Dew: 2024 Voo Dew

I’m always terrible at guessing what the actual flavor is and for some reason I always think the Voo Dew flavors taste like some type of childhood candy. No different this year.

I looked back at last year’s Voo Dew post and I basically said the same thing. LOL Real original.

It’s sweet and I liked it, so I’ll give it a 7.5/10.

Mountain Dew: Citrus Blast

Not many places in Europe sell Mountain Dew and when you find some, it’s usually without sugar. After a week in Ireland I finally found some good stuff.

This is called Citrus Blast and tastes close to the Mountain Dew sold in the US, but not as sweet. I ran the numbers and found it contains less than half as much sugar!

I’m going to give it a 8.5, especially since it’s kind of outrageous how much sugar a 20oz in the states has.
