Mountain Dew: Sugar, Concentrated orange juice, Citric acid, Natural flavors, Sodium benzoate, Caffeine, Sodium citrate, Erythorbic acid, Gum arabic, Calcium disodium EDTA, Brominated vegetable oil, Yellow 5, Thiamin hydrochloride

Diet Mountain Dew: Concentrated orange juice, Citrus pectin, Potassium benzoate, Aspartame, Potassium citrate, Acesulfame potassium, Sucralose

The diet version seems worse :/

Think I'll pass in either case...

I've never tried Mountain Dew. Always wondered what it's like.

Tastes like a sweeter version of Sprite, 7up (yes, it does!) and is full of caffeine.

Plus its green in colour.

I love Mountain Dew, but fear we are going to get a poorer version of the original.

Now if only they would sell A&W Rootbeer.

Yeah, but the extortionate prices they charge for the stuff I wouldn't buy it. Especially knowing that it's so damn cheap in comparison to the states.

I LOVE mountain dew, went through so much of the stuff when i was in florida. Hope the one we have got tastes the same.

Might be worth starting a Moutain Dew sightings thread

It's just an American soda. Closest comparison I can think of would be Sprite - it gets lots of fuss because it isn't sold over here normally. I think it is really nice, but I've met people who don't like it, each to their own, I drank tons of the stuff when I was out in the States

Also, Mountain Dew: Code Red is win.

Closest comparison would be Mellow Yellow but I guess that's not for sale either?

Dr P ***.

How come For The Win has been starred, does it mean something else that I am not aware of?

Lets hope they don't take offence at the word "the".

Ciphon · 4 May 2010 at 17:23

I do the Dew!

I need to stockpile for when they take it away again.

MrMoonX · 4 May 2010 at 18:42

I need this now! I hope its the same as in the USA

DanTheMan · 4 May 2010 at 19:04

I feel blessed to have a shop near me that sells the original stuff, I drink it so much that I got bored of it.

kip02 · 4 May 2010 at 19:15

Woohoo!

Glad its getting released over here. Never noticed it when it was out before but love the stuff everytime i go to the US.

Just been to Tesco but they don't have any, will keep my eyes peeled for it. Hopefully it isn't to expensive with being classed as an energy drink.

Vampire · 4 May 2010 at 19:16

I looked for it in two different Tesco's Extra stores in Cardiff today, but they didn't have it at either.
