Not much to say here. This is basically a saltier version of the original. And it's just as good!
There's even large crunchy crystals of salt in it, but oddly... not located in the caramel, but in the chocolate instead.

Coming off the holidays, Pepsico released this gem for the season. You really have to respect how wacky Dew can get sometimes.
If your first thought was "how the hell are they going to make a citrus drink taste like spiced cookies?", join the club.
In practice, they didn't do a bad job. I think they calmed down the "Dew" flavor for the base, and then they've seemed to have added brown sugar and ginger. That's mostly it. It combines with the Dew just fine. As I've been drinking this, there's a voice in my head saying that they probably added some spice too. If I strain hard, I can maybe pick out allspice as well.
Anyway, it's tasty enough, and a laudable experiment, but it's not just as good as the original. But it can't go unsaid that this is one of the most beautiful can designs I've ever seen.
