Haun Reviews Mountain Dew

Classic Mountain Dew

You all know the classic Mountain Dew. The one with the green bottle. It is "citrus" flavoured. Lime, one would presume based on the colour. At least I can tell what it is. Things get a bit muddy later down the line. It's okay. I would choose it over most other sodas. I have not had much of it, but I would currently rate it a 4.6/10.

Code Red

I have not bought Code Red yet. Mainly because it looks gross. I will try it soon and add my opinion.

Baja Blast

I tried Baja Blast for the first time today. It was pretty good. I like the colour and the logo. It is a summer drink for sure, and even though it is fall, I can still enjoy it. It tastes like tropical sugar to me, but apparently it is tropical lime. 7/10.

Voltage

Voltage (or Blue Voltage as I call it) is my current go-to flavour of Mountain Dew. Maybe I would switch things up more but my school's vending maching only has Voltage, Code Red and Spark. And I don't want to go to the convenience store during lunch because that's where all the trashy kids hang out. I had no idea what Blue Voltage was supposed to taste like until I looked it up today. Apparently it is Raspberry Citrus. I couldn't have told you that with a gun to my head. I don't know why Mountain Dew is always colouring their flavours weird. Oh well. I like my Blue Juice. I probably wouldn't drink it if it was pink. I guess I can see it now that I know.

Anyways, this stuff is good enough I sacrifice having a real meal for lunch to buy it. Lunch at my highschool is six bucks. Mountain Dew is three. Thankfully, a microwaveable cup of KD is only two bucks. That means I can buy a Mountain Dew, KD and have one dollar extra. Three days of that and I can buy another Mountain Dew. Sometimes I mix a little Blue Voltage into my KD. It's not bad. Next time I'll try cooking it in Mountain Dew instead of water.

All of this is just a long way to say that I give Blue Voltage an 8.7/10.

Purple Thunder

I see this stuff is limited time so I will be sure to try it soon.

VooDew 2024

From what I can tell there is a different mystery VooDew flavour every year. I have only tried this one. It is currently a mystery. The flavour is in partnership with a candy brand, so that makes my life a lot easier. It had a milder taste, so my current prediction is Jolly Rancher or Skittles. I will have to run more tests. Anyhow, as I said it was surprisingly mild. Usually "Mystery" flavours are just the runoff of other candies without dye. I'm not a huge fan of it being white, if I'm being honest. It makes sense, I just don't like that I could mix cornstarch with water and achieve a similar look. What do you even use to dye soda white? I give it a 6.5/10 Edit: Looks like I was wrong about the flavour.

Pitch Black

Pitch Black was a flavour that I found last year at Halloween. I was intrigued by it's colour and drank it quite a few times even though I wasn't a full-fledged Dew Fan yet. It is actually dark purple and not black. I'm not complaining. "Black" dye is just really concentrated blue. Quite frankly I think that much food colouring would kill me. I quite like Pitch Black and am disappointed it did not return this year to my knowledge. It has a pleasant citrus taste, as I'm seeing most Mountain Dew does. Pitch Black gets a 9.1/10. Please bring it back.
