Cheetos Crunchy Buffalo

 


Product circa: Spring 2024

Awful.  Whatever buffalo flavor they have added here goes horribly with the "aged" cheese flavor base of the original.

Mountain Dew Maui Burst

 


Product circa: 2020 and onward, only at Dollar General stores

My hype for this one didn't help.  Supposedly a pineapple Dew, the fruit flavoring here is so subtle that is tastes straight up bland.  I'll be on the lookout for more to make sure it wasn't just the can I bought.

Mountain Dew Summer Freeze

 


Product circa: Summer 2023

Not the first time a "rocket pop"-flavored soda has been released.  Unfortunately this seems to have a quality about it that I can't help describe as a "deadness".  It's missing something to make it lively.

Mountain Dew Thrashed Apple

 


Product circa: 2021, only at Kroger supermarkets

A bright green apple flavor combines with Dew's citrus base to create a tart-yet-sweet mixture.

Mountain Dew Green Label

 


Product Circa: 2017

Released alongside White Label, which I don't think I ever tried.

I'm not a fan of green apple, but the application here is subtle.  Despite the zero-calorie sweetener added, this manages to taste refined, and surprisingly good.  No kiwi detected.

Mountain Dew Game Fuel Mystic Punch

 


Product circa: November 2023

A slightly sour fruit punch Dew to cross-branded with the video game Diablo IV.  Not a particularly special fruit punch flavor, but for whatever reason, it tastes really great.  One of the best Dews I've tasted in the last 5, or even 10 years.

Pringles Pecan Pie

 


Due to a tree nut allergy, I never got the courage to try these, even though it's unlikely to contain actual nuts.
