| #1Nai_CalusApr 17, 2010 22:36:39 | Distortion, White Out and Typhoon are the choices this time.
First off, none of these is real Dew, at least not yet. No concentrated orange juice at all on the ingredients list. Maybe that will change eventually, LiveWire did undergo a formula change at one point; I hated it when it came out, and it didn't have the COJ then, and then I looked at it again a couple years ago to give it another try and found that now it did and I love it now.
Distortion: 'Lime blasted Dew'. Lime is fake-tasting and not in the good way. Has a horrid aftertaste. The can is dull and uninteresting and the fake lime is overwhelming to the point you don't taste the dew. I have to say, I don't really like this one and finishing the twelve pack will probably be a chore. Kind of amusing, I thought from the descriptions that it would be my favourite. Nope. This is the worst one I've tried since I couldn't make it through a single can of Pitch Black.
White Out: 'Smooth Citrus Dew'. At first I couldn't identify a blasted thing about this, other than that it was in fact smooth and citrus-y and lacked the awful aftertaste. Still had a bit of one but it wasn't unpleasant. After a few minutes it dawned on me what I was tasting in it and what it reminded me of: Grapefruit, but not a sharp grapefruit at all. Like the child of Mountain Dew and Squirt. The can is much more interesting and it's by far my favourite of the three.
Typhoon: I forget the retarded tagline, which is amusing since I just finished the can I tried, but it's 'Tropical' Dew. It's... Pink Baja Blast. That was my first thought upon tasting it. It's not identical, but it's similar. Fake pineapple is the predominate flavor, with the usual other tropical punch ones. It's basically tropical punch dew. It's not bad. Not my favourite, but if it wins I could live with it. It's at least not as disgustingly syrupy as Game Fuel was. Can looks tacky.
So, final ranking is White Out > Typhoon > Distortion. I honestly think Typhoon or Distortion will win, but I'm hoping for White Out. May have to stockpile it just in case. (All flavors I've tried of Dew ranking would be: Code Red > White Out > Livewire > Typhoon = Baja Blast > Original > Game Fuel > Supernova > Revolution > Voltage > Distortion > Pitch Black.)
So what do you guys think?
(Yes, yes I am a long-term Dew addict.) |
| #2MechaPilotApr 17, 2010 22:40:09 | As long as it's not a diet flavor I won't have a problem with it (though I wont drink it). I drink diet dew because I'm seriously overweight, and the taste beats other diet pops, but even I think diet dew is an abomination before the lord. Seriously though, a diet dew? They might as well make a decaf Jolt as well. |
| #3Nai_CalusApr 18, 2010 9:05:51 | Seriously. I didn't even look at that Ultraviolet stuff last year. Diet? No thanks. Especially since nearly all diet soda is made with Aspartame which I react very badly to. Splenda is fine when I can find something that has it, although it still tastes like crap, but Aspartame is guaranteed misery. |
| #4MechaliburApr 18, 2010 15:17:35 | I prefer dewtatorships, to be honest. |
| #5toastedamphibianApr 18, 2010 15:26:11 | Shouldn't "The Dew" be making these kinds of decisions in a dewocracy? |
| #6Nai_CalusApr 18, 2010 17:37:25 | Probably. I didn't come up with the name, which is a pretty retarded name. |
| #7LFKApr 18, 2010 18:01:26 | If you're saying that White Out is up there with Code Red then I'm going to have to try it out, if it's available in Canada. I'll check it out on the way home. |
| #8NovacatApr 18, 2010 19:30:12 | If there was any justice in the world, they would have brought back Revolution this year. |
| #9zvbxrplApr 22, 2010 19:17:34 | Mountain Dew will be able to hold my interest when the kind that's only at Taco Bell is sold in vending machines. Seriously. That is the king of all dew. It should enstate a benevolent dewnarchy. |
| #10The_SilverswordApr 23, 2010 3:37:54 | Well ive tried all 3 of them now. I think i like the green one the best, Distortion. It tasted like green popsicles, and those are my favorite. the Typhon tasted like Hawiian Punch and the White Out tasted like Sprite, really they should try to make these flavors more original. Why would i buy Sprite flavored Mtn Dew if i can just buy Sprite? Well let me rephrase that, why would i buy Sprite flavored Mtn Dew AGAIN? Although the Typhon did taste better with gin. My wife is a little upset cause i didnt just buy regular Dew, she hates the crazy flavored stuff. Shes big into that Flashback or whatever they call it where they use real sugar instead high fructose corn syrup. honestly i cant tell the difference.
So yeah my vote is for the Distortion, unless gin is added then its Typhoon. |
| #11boj0Apr 23, 2010 12:15:16 | I found that White-out was Fresca that didn't suck...so it's getting my vote for that. |

You are a terrible person with no taste who needs their tastebuds examined. (I still love you though) White Out doesn't even remotely taste like Sprite, and Distortion doesn't remotely taste like anything but chemicals. ;-P

| #13darkspartanApr 23, 2010 23:34:01 | OP: At the bottom of your list, did you mean Pitch Black, or Pitch Black II? Pitch Black was up ther ewith Code Red, a nice grape flavor with the Dew undertone. Pitch Black II was vile in the extreme. The overloaded it with citric acid, and gave it a sharp, sour taste.
I was... Upset.

| #14Dark_StrykeApr 24, 2010 2:09:57 | Do I not get all these dew flavors because I'm a canuck, or am I just not paying attention? I feel like I'm missing out somehow... |

Pitch Black. I loathed it so much I never even went near Pitch Black II, which sounded repulsive even if I'd liked PB.
Pitch Black, incidentally, was my heartbreaker flavor. Loved Dew, loved Grape, it should have been heaven on earth but it was so so horrible and awful and soul-destroying.

| #16Cpt_MichaApr 24, 2010 10:14:08 | Code Red is still Code Win. |
| #17Johnny_AngelApr 24, 2010 12:33:13 | I agree with pretty much everything the OP said.
White Out - not bad; orange flavor
Typhoon - tastes like pineapple, but it's ok
Distortion- crap... and I even like lime in most things. It doesn't taste much different than just drinking lime water with a little bit of carbonation.
The main issue I have with all three of the new flavors is that there's no Mt. Dew flavor to any of them. When you drink Code Red it has a different flavor, but you can still tell it's M. Dew. White out is good, but it could be pretty much any brand of orange soda; there's nothing which connects it to Mt. Dew. |
| #18CyvarisApr 25, 2010 13:58:43 | The lime one does really taste like lime popsicles, which is awesome. Personally I want Voltage back in bottle form as it is still my favorite. I still need to try white-out cold(as I think cold makes all of them taste better). |

Awww i love you too man! but yeah it tastes like chemicals, yummy artificial lime flavored chemicals. Artificial lime has got to be my 2nd favorite artificial flavor, 1st fav being artifical watermelon flavor, 3rd would be the stuff they put on your popcorn at the theater, not sure what that stuff is but it aint butter, still i love the taste, one of the main reasons i even bother going to see a movie, that would probably be a poor choice for a Dew flavoring though. |
| #20I_Hate_All_LifeApr 26, 2010 9:20:08 | Have any of you cats tried Mountain Dew Throwback? It's smooth and made with real sugar. I prefer it to any other Dew I've tasted by far.
Whiteout sounds the most promising. |
| #21Nai_CalusApr 26, 2010 23:00:08 | I actually surprisingly didn't really like Throwback. Then again, I'm not much for regular Dew these days.
Typhoon is currently winning, yuck, someone spammed all hell out of text voting for it apparently.
Vote for White Out! |
| #22The_SilverswordApr 26, 2010 23:10:42 | I figured White out or Distortion would be getting the votes, but Typhoon? Really? More people must be adding gin to Dew than i had previously thought. |
| #23LFKApr 27, 2010 23:45:51 | Anyone willing to ship some to Canada? Could PayPal the cash. |
| #24boj0Apr 28, 2010 9:03:51 | lol that might violate some sort of ToS fine print So ive now tried all three flavors and the green one is now my favorite with white-out a close second and typhoon (fruit punch) a shameful third...it tastes like every other fruit drink ever |
| #25The_SilverswordMay 04, 2010 9:00:37 | Last i checked Distortion was dead last, seriously whats wrong with you people!? My kids seem to like the Distortion the best too, one of them even started up an ad campaign!

| #26toastedamphibianMay 04, 2010 18:50:23 | Not sure I want to know what that other hand is doing. Pervert. |

Dude, my daughter drew that, be nice! I cant draw nearly that well! |

Corellon is displeased by your lack of artistic skills. You must develop them in order to please him.
Also, you need to start disliking Distortion. Corellon drinks White Out, so should you. |
| #29The_SilverswordMay 12, 2010 5:18:18 | I never said I didnt drink White Out, I like it, just like the Distortion better and so does Labelas. Erevan keeps slipping Typhoon in around here, and you know, mixed with the White Out that stuff aint too bad, you should try it. And we should talk about something else before people start thinking that were a couple of Elf lovin nerds. |
| #30Nai_CalusMay 13, 2010 9:45:42 | We ARE a couple of elf-loving nerds.
Shevarash drinks Distortion. Do you want to be associated with Shevarash and get Shar's cooties from him?
Erevan is heartbroken by how bad Distortion is. He loves green, and wanted to love Distortion, but it's just so bad that he can't. Also, Labelas is messing with you. He really drinks White Out too. |
| #31Nai_CalusMay 30, 2010 21:31:08 | Vote for Typhoon, it needs you! Get all your friends to vote too! And their friends! And their family! I have seen the light that is Typhoon, and it needs to *win*! |

Vote for White Out!
Make up youre freakin mind already!!!!
I still say Distortion is the best. Who you gonna believe? ME, who has stuck with what he sais was the best? Or this guy who used the word "yuck" to describe that Typhoon is winning!?
DISTORTION!!!! It tastes like artificially flavored green Popsicles! Who doesnt love green artificially flavored Popsicles!? |
| #33Nai_CalusMay 31, 2010 19:36:56 | I have made up my mind. Typhoon is awesome beyond belief and you should be drinking it.
And Distortion is disgusting. So are green artificially flavored Popsicles. |
